Meet Erica and Brad. They are now married! They did this during a day-long downpour, at Washington Park's International Rose Test Gardens. It was a memorable and beautiful little ceremony, with only a handful of their closest friends and family. This was a destination wedding for them, actually! They live in New Mexico and really wanted to experience greenery, flowers and rain... they sure had exactly that on their day this past Saturday! ;) The rains did not bother them... we had a great time getting soaked for photos in the park. It was all part of the experience of being in the Pacific Northwest in May and they loved it. Josh and I managed to keep our equipment as dry as we could, while capturing their joy all at the same time. It was awesome! Their reception dinner was at the iconic and delicious Portland City Grill, who did not fail to impress, once more. What a great day!! Thank you SO much for making us feel like we were a part of our family, you guys! THANK YOU! Sp...

Why not, right? I mean, everyone is doing it everywhere lately :) Apart from being goofy, funny, fun, dance-freaks, and awesome to be around, our good friends Sarah & Mikey (and Dexter-dog!) met with us at Washington Park Rose Garden today. These two have been friends of ours for years and when they announced their engagement, we couldn't be more happy! It will be fun being the photographers for a party-event with many of our same friends... versus actually partying ourselves :-D Our friends The Quick & Easy Boys will be playing live at the reception and Jimmy (the lead guitar) is Mikey's best man. This will be an awesome wedding, close to our hearts. We love you two and can't wait for August! Wedding date: August 20th 2011 Wedding venue: Edgefield Wedding dress: JCrew More vendors to come as more details come in, of course :) Here is a super quick sneak peek of their session from today!

The Rose Garden (Washington Park) is beautiful. Especially when the sky is slightly overcast and when there are hardly any people around. Last year, we visited it right after sunset, since it's so close to where MoscaPhoto lives :) and played around with our new nikon 85mm 1.4 and a 24mm 1.4 too. Just those two lenses, nothing more. Portland is so pretty! ;)
