Best of 2019 Wedding Photography
Our best of 2019 wedding photography was another year of extensive discovery we never could have anticipated. Everyone we met opened our eyes to new ways of seeing. Our adventures this year took us through an extraordinary tour of backdrops and cultures. We adventured through Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Navada, Chicago, London, Germany, Italy, and Bali. From the very special 16 weddings we photographed we took 190,315 images and provided 10,515 finished photographs to our...
Timberline Lodge Wedding – Taylor & Jackson
An absolutely gorgeous and moving Timberline Lodge wedding. Born in two different countries on two different continents, 9,000 miles apart, from Rwanda to Oregon, Taylor and Jackson found each other. Finding a needle in a haystack IS possible. A special alchemy of friendship in the most unusual combinations united these two. Only something outside of logic could write a story like this. Who would know that in 2009 in Northern Rwanda, at a school Jackson wasn't initially assigned to, he would...
Cathedral Park Elopement – Bündchen & Bond
Bündchen and Bond are as spontaneous and spunky as they come. These two jumped right into a fun Cathedral Park Elopement with family and friends at one of Portland's most inspiring and beloved outdoor wedding venues: Cathedral Park. This park is perfect for small weddings and COVID social distancing. It's also great for wedding photography. No matter what the conditions the St Johns Bridge architecture is always stunning. St John's Bridge is Portland's tallest bridge. It's Gothic...
Sunriver Resort Wedding – Heather & Krishna
Heather and Krishna's Sunriver Resort wedding welcomed 125 guests into a gorgeous Pacific Northwest experience among tall pine trees and the distant Cascade Mountains. Sunriver Resort is nestled in the high desert in Bend Oregon and invites some of the best feelings of freedom and relaxation you can find. Perhaps it's the vanilla or butterscotch fragrance from the ponderosa pines, the spectacular views, or simply the calm flow of the nearby river. The team at Sunriver Resort to help support...
Lost Lake Engagement – Emily & Travis
Emily and Travis' Lost Lake engagement was the perfect hidden jewel for a romantic getaway. It's an incredibly gorgeous seasonal alpine lake spanning about 79 acres near Santiam Pass Highway. No motorized boats allowed making for tranquil waters. Every time we visit Lost Lake we experience a deep sense of peace and quiet. The lake beautifully mirrors Mt Hood in the distance and is surrounded by beautiful wildflowers, old-growth forests, and wildlife. This is the perfect spot for a fun easy...
First Presbyterian Church Portland Wedding
Beth and Tony optimize their Portland wedding in all the right ways. Beth got ready at Hotel DeLuxe and Tony got ready at the Crystal Hotel both just a few blocks away from the 1st Presbyterian Church where they got married. They rode in a gorgeous classic car to the Crystal Ballroom where 100 of their guests joined them for their reception. Beth and Tony are incredibly fun, check out their fantastically choreographed dance with a finishing jiu-jitsu move! The Crystal Ballroom has the perfect...
Stephanie & Lew – Umbria, Italy
Adventure weddings with a tight group of best friends and family spread out over several days are truly some of the most meaningful experiences we've seen. With the right location, you can have a celebration that can be mind-blowingly unique, adventurous, and life-changing. And with smart planning, it can be financially possible. Stephanie and Lew invited 20 of their best friends and close family to one of the most gorgeous and charming hidden countryside villas called Villa Tre Grazie. They...
Tin Roof Barn Wedding – Kathleen & Sean
Every time we reflect back on Kathleen and Sean's Tin Roof Barn wedding we experience some of the most meaningful feelings. The way Kathleen and Sean marinate in their beautiful awareness of time and the people surrounding them is absolutely profound. The opportunity they took to express love and joy in every moment literally is the priority of all priorities. They planned their wedding with such thought yet also mature trust in letting things unfold as they will. The charming setting of the...
Cannon Beach Wedding – Heather & Don
Having a Cannon Beach wedding at Surfsand Resort on the Oregon Coast on a warm summer day is absolutely marvelous. The expansive views of the distant ocean, far-reaching sandy beaches, and salt of the sea in the air invite the best of feelings. Having all of your guests sit outside on chairs, feet in the sand with a gentle breeze is such a lovely setting (growing solution for COVID with a small group, setting up chairs safely apart with the gentle wind). Heather, having a theatre background...
Portland Art Museum Wedding – Radhika & Shilpin
Radhika and Shilpin’s Portland Art Museum wedding was pretty much a dream within a dream. Pinks that ignite your eyes and blues that make you drown in wonder. “Indians are the Italians of Asia and vice versa. Every man in both countries is a singer when he is happy, and every woman is a dancer when she walks to the shop at the corner. For them, food is the music inside the body and music is the food inside the heart. ‘Amore’ or ‘Pyar’ makes everyone a poet.” – Gregory David Roberts. After 20...
