Portland_wedding_SE.jpg David proposed to Britt with 1000 paper cranes that he folded. The tradition comes from an ancient Japanese legend, which grants the receiver of the cranes with 1000 years of happiness and prosperity.

Portland_wedding_SE_6.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_13.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_5.jpg Love these vintage-inspired images in a cool phone booth. These things are practically vintage!

Portland_wedding_SE_9.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_4.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_3.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_8.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_7.jpg David brought his bow and arrow and we set up some imaginative theme photos. I love love love this image!

Portland_wedding_SE_1.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_12.jpg Portland_wedding_SE_2.jpg Britt is in medical school and is almost Dr. Brittany! Her wonderful parents bought her this medical bag to keep her supplies in.

Portland_wedding_SE_10.jpg Their dog, Tycho, was in tow and was the sweetest thing ever! How cute is it that they all match!


Britt and David are tying the knot in September of this year at the incredible Lac de Fleur gardens. We recently met up in SE Portland for their unique engagement photo session, which was inspired by all things B&D! They brought their favorite things that meant the most to them, including David's bow and arrow, Britt's medical bag, and of course, their awesome dog, Tycho! Britt and David are a creative and intelligent couple and I can't wait for their wedding! Hope you love the sneak peek B&D!

Jaimee and Steve are a really fun couple with awesome energy and spirit. Jaimee and Steve really love nature and are inspired by the Oregon rivers, forests and trees and I love that! Travis Shields, of Shields Films fame, and I recently met up with the cute couple in Laurelhurst Park in SE Portland with their wonderful dog, Zoe. I'm really excited to be documenting their wedding taking place in July at Timberline, one of my favorite venues! J&S- Hope you love the sneak peek and I can't wait for you're amazing wedding!

Pure_Event_Space_6.jpg Pure_Event_Space_4.jpg Several amazing caterers were represented and created stunning and delicious hors d'oeuvres.

Pure_Event_Space_2.jpg Pure_Event_Space_8.jpg Pure_Event_Space_3.jpg The water wall created a soothing and elegant atmosphere.

Pure_Event_Space_5.jpg It was an incredible event! This is the loft, which looked stunning as well.

Pure_Event_Space_7.jpg Pure_Event_Space_1.jpg Signature cocktails included Acai martini's!

The hip new Pure Event Space in the NW industrial Pearl district is incredibly spacious, light, clean and stylish. West Coast Event Productions is the force behind this awesome space and did breathtaking work with the design and layout. The clean and modern design was minimal, yet elegant with a fresh "green" feel. West Coast hosted the open house and wow-ed all in attendance! Complete with several water walls and fresh greens throughout, the industrial space felt uplifting and welcoming. I highly recommend the Pure Space for your wedding or event!

SE-Portland-Photographer10.jpg Tram and Souk are an intelligent, creative and kind-hearted couple that love to laugh and love! This candid pic really depicts their great energy together.

SE-Portland-Photographer5.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer6.jpg We loved this old truck we found parked in SE Portland. It was a perfect backdrop for some cool pics!

SE-Portland-Photographer3.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer8.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer9.jpg  SE-Portland-Photographer11.jpg Souk proposed to Tram at Le Pigeon with Saint Cupcakes spelling out "Will you marry me?" See the actual cupcakes here -Super sweet and thoughtful!

SE-Portland-Photographer12.jpg  SE-Portland-Photographer2.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer1.jpg Stepped into Le Pigeon for some spontaneous pics to really bring a new meaning to "Engagement Photos!"

Tram and Souk are having a July wedding that I'm so excited to be a part of. Tram and Souk are lovely and we had a great time walking around SE Portland to capture some awesome photos. We collaborated about making the images have a double meaning. Instead of the normal park engagement photos, we really told the story of their proposal in a creative and fun photo documentary way using location and props to tell the story. (Who doesn't like cupcake props!) Special thanks to the new and always yummy, Saint Cupcake Deluxe and to Le Pigeon, an incredible French inspired restaurant serving beautiful farm fresh food. Can't wait for your wedding and hope you love the sneak peek T&S!

The last photo, and the black and white in the coffee shop, with their heads together, are my favorites! What a great use of a fun urban neighborhood.
