when your friend finds the love of his life, and she's completely amazing in every way... being a part of this wedding was SO special for me. James and Janessa are such thoughtful friends and complement each other so beautifully.

photography-wise, i was pretty much in heaven with this stunning bride and groom; two spectacular dresses; bridal party in classy all-black; everyone getting ready in a light-filled condo with a great view; all that winter light, ahh i could have wandered around downtown Portland all day with them! Urban Studio felt cozy and intimate - filled with candles, hanging lights, beautiful florals, and geometric details highlighted with gold and glittery table numbers. Janessa's father and her grandfather made the most awesome arch for the ceremony, and it made a stunning focal point for the dessert table during the reception. it was a magical night!

i am indescribably happy for these two and cannot wait to see how their life together unfolds!!

Katie and Ashley were married this past spring in the most beautiful ceremony at Saint David of Wales Episcopal Church. It was such a joy to photograph them together in the trees at Cedarville Lodge before joining their cozy reception - lit with candles and filled with their family and friends. Great food, sweet toasts, dancing, and an awesome paper-airplane exit capped off their day!

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.
