University of California Botanical Garden Destination Wedding Day

Image
Meet Jen and Alex, everyone! I have known Jen for YEARS (since 2000), when we were both working as archaeologists in Phoenix Arizona. Some of our past colleagues were at their wedding too, so it was a sort of awesome reunion for us!  AAAAHHHH how I love California weddings, especially among old friends! They married at University of California's Botanical Gardens and it was glorious. The ceremony was in an amphitheater among the majestic Redwoods on a perfectly warm and sunny October California day. The reception was at the hall within the botanical gardens, which was beautiful too! To get to it, everyone had to walk through the Redwood grove and then the gardens themselves... So beautiful! Jen and Alex are two peas in a pod. They met while excavating in Egypt and have been inseparable and in love ever since. I could not possibly be more happy and excited for the two of them and their life together. It has been a few years since I had seen Jen and it was an honor to s

Danielle and Jeff's Portland Pearl District Fall Engagement Session

Danielle and Jeff are going to marry at the beautiful Red Ridge Farms in Dundee, Oregon , next summer. It's in Oregon's wine country and it will be beautiful! We had a blast getting to know them and photographing them on this beautifully sunny and crisp fall day in Portland this year. They live in Los Angeles but came north, to Portland, to meet with some vendors and to have the opportunity to get their engagement session done.... SO glad they came up when they did: the weather was perfect and we had a blast! We can't forget to mention pretty little Bella... She's the little doggie in some of the photos below. #aww ;)

Mt Hood Bed and Breakfast Wedding Day - Sharon & Matt's Sneak Peek

Meet Sharon & Matt! They are two fun and funny and loving lovebirds - that's right! loving lovebirds! - who's wedding was not made any less awesome and meaningful, despite the crazy weather. This was the weekend during which the remnant of a huge typhoon was making it's way over the Pacific Northwest. Winds were whipping heavy rains sideways and big billowing clouds were covering everything, including the usually exposed and impressive Mt Hood. Sharon and Matt live in Seattle. They decided to have somewhat of a destination wedding at the base of Mt Hood. The weather did not cooperate that weekend. HOWEVER, everyone had a blast anyway! The two of them laughed their way thorough the part and at the end of the day... were MARRIED! We had a blast. It was like being around old friends. We're seriously so excited to know these two and are equally as exited to have this very detailed sneak peek of their day. Such a fun day! Thank you so much to all who helped make thei
