Engaged: Katie & Matt

12.29.09

I love the vintage elegance and feel of Union Station, where my office and studio is located. Katie and Matt's outfits look great with this location... Love her shoes!

Who doesn't love a rooftop garden kiss! Matt, Katie and I discovered this great location on our fun walk around the Pearl District.

We also discovered an awesome sports bar, where we toasted to the holidays and caught a bit of the Gonzaga game. Check out Matt's awesome Trail Blazers blog at BustaBucket.com.

Katie and Matt and I had a super fun time on our engagement shoot, first starting in Union Station and continuing on to the Pearl District in NW Portland. This couple is super fun and incredibly kind. They brought me a rocking Christmas CD with tons of great jazz music on it, which my family has been loving and listening to non-stop. Thanks guys! We also had a great time toasting to the holidays while watching some crazy Montana football fans and the Gonzaga game at a local sports bar... Thanks SO much Katie and Matt for being awesome and a ton of fun! I can't wait for your wedding in July and I'm very honored and excited to be working with such a kind-hearted, positive and hip couple!

Real Wedding: Nicole & Beachum 10-24-09

12.10.09

My most favorite image of 2009 for all the right reasons.

Nicole's amazing Prada shoes make my heart flutter.

Their lovely letter press invites and unique rings, alongside the stunning bride, whose makeup was in the good hands of Nicole Wagner... Ahhmazing!

Love this image~ Beachum looking dapper wearing Dolce&Gabbana and Nicole transcended "bride" in her silver Vera Wang with a backdrop of modern day graffiti in SE Portland.

Love that the tables were named after the Portland precincts, and their favors were customized jam jars, created by the couple from Beachum's family recipe! The incredible Mandi Downs with Blush Bridal Consultation did an outstanding job making the day run smoothly.

The West End Theater fit their modern day vintage vibe perfectly.

Instead of the traditional cake cutting, the couple chose to break creme brule. (my personal favorite)

Considering this was our last wedding shoot of 2009, I can't contain my excitement about how incredible and perfect this wedding was. From the super hot style, the gorgeous flowers (created by Nicole's grandmother) to their first dance song by Neko Case, I couldn't have planned a more perfect day for this artistic couple. Nicole and Beachum are filled with compassion, sincerity and kindness and I'm so so so honored to have been in the presence of their family and friends as we celebrated their palpable love. Thank you so much to Nicole and Beachum for sharing the perfect wedding to close out a wonderous year of weddings. Love you guys big.
