Trina + Dave: [the Wedding]

Relax and personal would be my words for Trina & Dave's wedding last week at the Bell Tower Chapel. To see them so happy to be together, and being themselves, I really enjoyed photographing their special day.

Lindsay + Nathan: [the Wedding]

These Californian love birds finally united from last Sunday forever! A very sweet garden wedding at McMenamins Edgefield that muted the surrounding concerts. Per bride's request, we had an awesome running-around portrait session!

You don't use candle, outdoor, without shade ;)

From the portrait session...

Dawn + David

Dawn and David tied the knot last Saturday at Postalwaite, Canby. Cowboy hats and boots in the barn, they just enjoyed and celebrated their day. Shooting for Powers Studios, thanks Ryan for shooting the video.

Easy 35

We went easy hiking the Multnomah Falls for my 35th birthday, and then enjoyed some desserts and coffee at the lodge.

Gifts from a friend in France - for the love of coffee and photography.

My SIGG - just the right gift from Ingrid - for the love of the planet.

The ultimate gift - the love of my heart.

I don't know them, they just jumped in.

"Nice place for weddings," we agreed.

Birthday treats.

Caroline + Adam

Caroline and Adam tied the knot in a melting-pot celebration. Renting a bus for out-of-state guests, having 3 different locations: Rose Garden for ceremony, The Nines for cocktail hour, and Classical Chinese Garden for reception; the wedding canceled out the highly anticipated rain throughout the day!

Still got short little drops, only for this picture.

Thanks to my super assistant Josh!

Testing light setup.

Liana + Thomas: [the Engagement]

I loved that this couple did their homework looking for their engagement session location. Oaks Park! Who could have thought that... great spot... different... thrilling!!!

Michelle + Chris: [the Wedding]

Michelle and Chris got married at Lakecliff B&B. I and Ingrid loved the entire bridal party's dresses, especially of the bride's. The ceremony was intimate and the celebration was fun. They truly entered the union in style. Organic.

Mother of the bride: "You're not gonna wear those shoes, are you?"

Ingrid's cake: "Plates licked clean," said Chris.
