maryam + damon // married | pasha restaurant {portland wedding photography}

well hey there! i am in the thick of wedding season and it's been months since i've had a chance to blog anything. so here i am trying to catch up - starting by sharing this awesome Persian wedding from May. Maryam and Damon and their families were a joy to work with. my time with them began with a hike to Wahclella Falls the day before the wedding, and culminated in their meaningful, gorgeous and wonderfully fun celebration at Pasha Restaurant the following evening. i had never been to a Persian wedding before and it was such a beautiful experience! so, without further ado - enjoy the photos! and have a great weekend :)

mike and sarah are the best. we had a gorgeous sunshine-filled afternoon in February for their engagement session and we laughed pretty much the whole time. nothing better!

"...till morning comes let's tesselate..."

Sondra and Casey have one of the best "how-we-met" stories i've ever heard - they were originally connected through match.com and exchanged messages and phone numbers. before they had texted or called, they both separately went to the Alt-J concert at the Crystal Ballroom. Walking through the crowd, Sondra heard her name called - when she turned around there was Casey! they say, "We both felt like we won the lottery. And still do."

they are warm, authentic, and passionate people and i'm so so excited to be shooting their wedding this fall - at the Crystal Ballroom where they first met.
