sondra + casey // married | crystal ballroom {portland wedding photography}

one more blog before i head to los angeles to photograph one of my sweet 2017 couples for their engagement session! (side note, i am writing this at 445am, after my dearest child decided 230am was the time we should wake up for our 7am flight...send coffee)

Sondra and Casey's wedding was one of my favorites ever, for many many reasons. First and foremost these two are warm and inspiring, kindred spirits. Their fantastic day was deeply heartfelt, unique and quirky, and so very meaningful. And they sure know how to throw a party! I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking. 

Big thanks as always to my wonderful second shooter, Sarah Valentine - some of her beautiful work is mixed in below.

rachel + andrew // married | north star ballroom {portland wedding photography}

wrapping up my 2015 wedding blog posts (fiiiiiinally) and i can think of no better way to cap it off than with Rachel & Andrew's stunning and exuberant wedding! you may remember these two from their fun lifestyle engagement session (check it out here).

Rachel says it best: "We threw a big party and called it a wedding." But what a gorgeous party it was! Vintage details paired with unique touches like gold animals and dinosaurs accenting the florals and place cards; Rachel's exquisite beaded dress - everything came together with a Gatsby-esque flair and the North Star Ballroom was a perfect venue. And they had quite the dance party!!

It was truly a pleasure to be part of this day. Many thanks to my awesome second shooter, Sarah Valentine - she is always wonderful to work with and some of her images are mixed in below.

nicole + joe // engaged {portland engagement photography}

oh i am so excited for Nicole + Joe's wedding this fall - it is going to be so unique and full of personality, just like these two. i won't give any of their plans away, but it is going to be super rad. their engagement session was tons of fun - basically i got to hang out with them at powell's and geek out about books we love (they gave me tons of awesome additions to my book list). then we went over to the farmer's market and wandered around sampling treats and choosing the most amazing flowers. 

have a good weekend everyone!!
