Sci_Fi_Wedding_7.jpg Tora and David are a magical and inspiring couple that brought tons of creativity and DIY to their May 1st wedding.

Sci_Fi_Wedding_1.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_2.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_12.jpg Pretty much my favorite ring shot ever. T&D had a "heaven and earth" theme and was inspired by that for their colors and details.

Sci_Fi_Wedding_3.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_5.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_4.jpg These fun folks put the "party" in wedding party! Armed with umbrellas and favorite Marvel comic weaponry.

Sci_Fi_Wedding_17.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_8.jpg In lieu of the traditional boutineers the guys (and one groomswoman:) wore Star Trek communicators and the ladies held vintage umbrellas rather than bouquets. Totally rad.

Sci_Fi_Wedding_10.jpg Incredibly beautiful and fun ceremony under the trees at the Abernathy Center's Veiled Garden.

Sci_Fi_Wedding_6.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_14.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_9.jpg
Sci_Fi_Wedding_15.jpg Tora made all the flags for guests to wave using iron-on transfers. These made me smile.

Sci_Fi_Wedding_13.jpg Complete with a rocking cake incorporating the theme, an Italian soda bar, custom made invites and programs and collections of vintage vases gathered on each table, the reception was hella cool all around!

Sci_Fi_Wedding_16.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_11.jpg Sci_Fi_Wedding_19.jpg and oh yes, they busted out the Time Warp and some air guitar... yeow!

Tora and David are rad. They had their morning wedding in Oregon City at The Abernathy Center in the Veiled Garden with a lunch reception in the ball room. T&D had a lot of DIY, little bit of indie, a dash of Sci-Fi, and pinch of comic book inspiration to create a stylish and smart wedding with a ton of flavor. Special thanks to Maalaea of I and M Photography for second shooting with me! Tora is the creative force behind Tora Illustration, her amazing illustration company. Her style is fresh and fun and you should check out her site and blog! http://www.toraillustration.com/ I'm super honored and blushing that I was cool enough to be a part of the badassery of Tora and David's wedding. Thanks so much guys for choosing me to document your awesome day. Hope you love the sneak peek!

Rachel and Anthony are an awesome couple who are planning a Friday night wedding on the Eco-Trust rooftop. We had a great time during their engagements with all the colors and textures in the Pearl District. The couple has a modern and clean style, so we incorporated a lot of incredible architecture. I'm so excited to photograph their wedding in July! Hope you love the sneak peek R&A!

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_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!
