Lynnae & Daniel were married in Abigail's Garden at the Abernethy Center in Oregon City in August. It was a million degrees out, and these two were such troopers in that heat. Everything about this wedding was very classy and beautiful - with special touches like a Superman groom's cake, and late night snacks of cheese, crackers, and Voodoo doughnuts. Congratulations to you both!!
This wedding has a special place in my heart, because I got to see two good friends get married after 10 years together, and celebrate their marriage with our college friends and their families. Megan and Tony, I have never seen you two happier. I was so overwhelmed and grateful to have been your photographer. To be able to know you as a couple for years and see you grow and change together has been amazing, and to see how well you complement each other and support each other is even better. The entire day felt so right and filled with joy! Forgive me if this blog post is long, but there were so many moments I just had to include. Check out their engagement portraits from last year here!
Megan, you are SO beautiful!
Megan and Tony chose to have a very intimate, family only ceremony in the gazebo at the wedding venue, Ron's Pond.
"She's my WIFE!"
A few somebodies fell out of their canoe... :)
A million congratulations, you two. I love you both!
You may remember Michael and Elise from this engagement session. I was crazy excited for their wedding earlier this month at the Jenkins Estate, and it was just as beautiful and fun as I knew it would be. I loved the unique things about their day that made it so them - from Elise's lovely wedding dress and her exquisite branch-like stackable rings, to the gorgeous centerpieces that Elise's mom created. Enjoy!
A few of my details from Alicia & Michael's gorgeous wedding are included in the Summer/Fall 2012 issue of Portland Bride & Groom magazine - check out the online feature here, or pick up the magazine at many locations in Portland! I assisted this wedding for Jay Eads. He was so generous to include me in the feature, many photographers would not do that and I'm so grateful!

I was delighted to 2nd shoot for my friend Kaitlin of Love Lit Photography (see her post of the day here) for Torii & Drew's beautiful wedding at the Aerie at Eagle Landing. It was a dream to shoot - wonderful people, an adorable couple, and the sunshine! We were lucky to get that in March! What a great way to start the 2012 wedding season. Congratulations, Torii & Drew!
Megan and Nathan's wedding (my first in winter!) was held at the Philomath Scout Lodge in Philomath, Oregon. Christmas carols, snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, twinkling lights and poinsetta centerpieces - everything was lovely! Megan and Nathan met through friends and were together for over 5 years before they got engaged. That solidity and comfort with each other really showed throughout the entire day. The two of them, and their friends and family, were incredibly sweet and welcoming. They were also very good sports about the cold during portraits - and the wintry fog was so beautiful. It was a wonderful day and I was happy to be a part of it! To the new Mr. & Mrs. Hickman, I wish you all the love and happiness in the world!
Isn't Nathan's car awesome??! He restored it himself. I got to ride in it around the parking lot, pretty cool. ;)
This was such a wonderfully beautiful, meaningful, and hilarious wedding! They got ready at a gorgeous hotel (The Nines), married at a gorgeous church (Trinity Episcopal Cathedral), and celebrated with a gorgeous rooftop party (Ecotrust Building). Alicia, Michael, and their friends and family are fantastic people and had me cracking up the entire day. I was so happy to second shoot for Jay Eads, check out his post from the day here.

Michael and I go way back - we were great friends the last couple years of high school. Then he was in Utah, and we lost touch for a bit, but still saw each other every so often. And I was SO excited when he called me to tell me he was getting married and even more excited to hear that he wanted me to shoot the wedding! I got to meet his fianceé, Elise, when we met for coffee to discuss their wedding, and of course she is amazing. And they are a ridiculously cute couple, as you will see. Can't wait for their wedding in July!
