Wedding bouquets are all beautiful! They reflect the bride's mood, style and personality. Florals are subjective and, while each year seems to see trends, they are all somewhat different. We love to photograph them! They are part of the whole adventure in wedding planning, and in the end, they complete a bride's attire. Here are a handful of the floral bouquets and arrangements witnessed and photographed by us here at MoscaPhoto , throughout our 2012 wedding season. May this post serve you as inspiration for your own upcoming wedding!

MoscaPhoto exhibited at the 2012 NW Wedding Scoop at the Governor Hotel downtown, on both March 10th and 11th. The hotel was filled with great inspiration. I was a Platinum Sponsor for the show, meaning I was invited to speak at a VIP luncheon, on stage, to educate brides and family about the art of wedding photography. Not only that, I was also part of two Photography/Videography panels that was interactive and informative. I loved speaking in public, especially since I am an expert in the wedding photography field. Lots of great information was shared and I can't to have the opportunity to talk again! ;) These are some of the images I took of the second day of the show. Thank you to all who participated and  made the day(s) great. *VENDORS* all of the images are on our downloadable gallery here .  Feel free to visit it and grab any image you want.  They are sized for the web with our little logo which we 'd appreciate you keeping unchanged. Thank you! <3...

FLOWERS GALORE! Misty and her team at Luxe Event Productions never cease to amaze me. Their Luxe Bridal Event earlier this month (at the Tiffany Center in NW Portland) was yet another fabulous, vibrant and fun event. Many local wedding vendors exhibited their talents for many brides to see. It was a packed event, with music, great energy and laughs. The main presentation to the public was an extensive collection of GORGEOUS handmade floral arrangements. 50 different bouquets were strewn throughout the floor and we had the honor of photographing each and every one of them. The floral inspiration at this show was high and we loved it! Be sure to visit the Luxe Bridal Event's site for a full list of all of the vendors involved. Lot's of information there! Here are collages I have created of SOME OF the gorgeous floral arrangements from the show... there are many more and they will also be posted here soon. Thank you SO much to all of the florists who participated! <3 ...

We had a blast! We were invited to participate in and photograph this fun night of dining and dancing by the fabulous ladies of Muse Event Planning. Friday February 17th was the night and so many fabulous local vendors came together to make it the success that it was. We were honored to be there and excited to share the photographs! Here are some highlight of the night, while below them is the link to the gallery where ALL of the images are.

Misty and Greg of Luxe Event Productions put together yet another uber-successful wedding show. They are so organized and well respected in this industry and we are so happy to be a part of their vision. They invited us to be their sponsor photographers and we loved the assignment. Josh and I spent 4 hours walking around the wedding show, taking photos of the couples visiting, interacting with the vendors as well, and details of the maaaaany cakes and the rest! Truly a great show. Here are a handful of the 400ish images of the day as well as links to all of the sponsor vendors involved. A fabulous group of people for sure!

It's always an honor and always a wonderful bit of news to wake up to... being told that we are featured on prominent and helpful wedding blogs. These two are our latest features and we couldn't be happier to share the news with you.  Thank you so much for our wonderful peers (blog owners and managers) who believe in us and our work.

What a great service you offer to us as photographers and to couples as inspiration.  Thank you! ~ Alice (& Josh) Havana Nights on the ever-so-awesome  Style Unveiled  (click to go straight to that blog post) is an inspiration wedding shoot in collaboration with: MoscaPhoto (photographers) Luxe Event Productions (director and stylist) Floral Designs by Alicia (flowers) Puddle Jumpin' Cards (stationery) Black Label Films (cinematography) Charlotte's Weddings and More (dresses and accessorie...

We make a post like this one every year, at the end of the year. We love to photograph every aspect of a wedding day, including the details that make each event as unique as you are! Flower arrangements are part of the colorful decor that a couple take time in choosing... we realize how personal each flower decision is, so we love to share our past couples' ideas with you in hopes to help you choose your own ;) We have had the pleasure of working alongside several talented florists who have nothing but satisfied and inspired our couples and us. We have also had some brides take the wedding flowers one step further by picking their own flowers and arranging them themselves! Regardless, each and every arrangement we have had the pleasure of photographing was beautiful. Here are images and the links to the florists from our 2011 wedding season! Happy planning and talk to you soon! <3 Floral Designs by Alicia Petalos Zest Floral and Event Design Blum Design in Flowers Vib...

'tis the season! This is the time for a little extra time with family and close friends (you've reunited for the Holidays! Make the most of it!). This is the time to ponder about the past year's hard work and happenings (we know we've had many "firsts" that we will always cherish!). This is the time for many of you to pop-the-question and start planning for a wonderful wedding celebration.  Josh and I, here at MoscaPhoto, wish you HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a CONGRATULATIONS shout-out too ;) We're excited to hear from you in the coming weeks as the New Year rolls in and plans are made.  Boy!! We WISH we could be there to photograph, capture and witness your proposal and the reaction! It's a priceless time, as many other milestones in life are. Plan it well and enjoy yourselves! Love and Hugs to You from Us! ~ Alice (& Josh) :)

In no particular order, we have had the opportunity to work with each and every one of these fabulous vendors. This year has been amazing and we got to work alongside many of them more than once (we can't wait for more opportunities!). I know I will post this and then remember more vendors... I just know it! So forgive me in advance for appearing as if i've neglected you... it's not my intention! I'll be updating this multiple times, I know it! ;) Knowing who to choose as your vendors for your wedding (or other event) is important. All we can do is suggest those people who we know and love, personally. Use us as a reliable and non-biased reference; we will suggest who we know will help make your day perfect! The rest will be up to you ;) THANK YOU to all of the following vendors for being in MoscaPhoto's life! Happy Turkey Day 2011! (click on MORE to see the links and photos!)

What a great surprise to wake up to today! Style Me Pretty  (click it! :) has featured our styled shoot of Sam, a REAL bride who was styled and art directed by Misty of Luxe Event Productions, photographed by me of Mosca Photo and filmed by Karyn of Black Label Films. A huge thank you to the rest of the wonderful vendors involved in this shoot too! I've listed them all and they rock! I say... why not spend more time in front of the camera, all dolled up, before your wedding day?! Or after! Why not? ;) Sometimes weddings can be hectic and us photographers may only have a little bit of time scheduled for a bridal shoot... but if we can organize to meet up another time, for some one-on-one  sessions, everyone wins! :) Art director: Misty, Luxe Event Productions Model: Real Bride Samantha, assistant editor at Oregon Bride Magazine  (click to see this shoot featured on Oregon Bride Magazine's blog too!)

Another fantastic Bridal Show / Wedding Show presented by Luxe Event Productions in collaboration with a select group of vendor sponsors (us of MoscaPhoto included!) and, of course, all of the rest of the vendors who participated as exhibitors. Committed was amazing. I even personally went "crazy" and asked my friend Jessica (a fabulous make up artist here in Portland!) do doll me up with her magic touch... thank you Jessica! The date was this past Friday, October 21st, 2011 and it was at the Ambridge Event Center on MLK Boulevard, just North of the Oregon Convention Center. 700 guests walked through the doors between 5 and 9pm and it absolutely felt packed and loud, while organized and fun! There was friendliness, humor, professionalism and cooperation and definitely LOTS of love in the air. Josh and I are honored to have been there not only as a photography vendor, but as the sponsor photographers as well. Luxe Event Productions and we have worked together for sev...

'Tis the season (the beginning of it, anyway) for professionals in the wedding industry to come up with and organize and collaborate on inspiration shoots. These sessions are planned out to the T and are a huge deal! Many wedding vendors get together to make it happen, all for the benefit of future brides who might be looking for ideas for their own wedding. This past Friday September 16th, an amazing group of said vendors got together to make the first of several inspiration shoots come alive. Take a look at the list of amazing talented people who made this one happen. Each one of them worked hard to make it happen flawlessly while I ( photo ) and Karyn ( video ) worked hard at capturing the style and feel of the vignettes, for all to see and enjoy. The full post of the entire shoot will be shared with the world soon. For now, I wanted to share just a handful of images to give you a taste of what is to come. What a great shoot it was! The great masters of the industry in vol...

This was simply a fabulous day. Samantha married her husband soon after I photographed her for this shoot. A handful of amazing local vendors got together to immortalize Sam for a sort of pre-wedding bridal portrait session. The weather was amazing and she looked stunning! May this collection of images serve as inspiration to all of the brides-to-be out there in the world. and thank you Oregon Bride Magazine for featuring this shoot on your own blog!

We are heading off to another wedding today! But before we leave, I wanted to post just one image (ok, two, side by side LOL!) of yesterday's wedding of Andrea & Omar (7.9.11) on their private property near Corvallis. WAY more to come, of course! PS: thank you so much to Muse Event Planning for being so organized and working so hard to make the wedding flow flawlessly and making our photography-life easier! :) and to Face Body Beauty for the beautiful makeup and hair on Andrea! - full wedding's info and full list of vendors coming soon!

This afternoon was a nice, mild, evenly lit day. Perfect for our Real Bridal Portrait Photoshoot with Samantha ! She is a Real Bride , who will be married later on in June. The wedding dress she chose to wear on her wedding day, is a different style from the one wore during the shoot today. She wanted the look and feel of her Bridal Portraits to be more on the Country-Chic side of things. And Country-Chic it was! ;) The vendors involved were: Photography: Alice of MoscaPhoto Location: Hawell Park, Sauvie Island, Portland OR Samantha: assistant editor at Oregon Bride Magazine (the model bride) Misty: Luxe Event Productions (the art director and planner) Karyn: Black Label Films (video production) Hailey: Zest Floral Design (provided the gorgeous bouquet and boutonnières) Charlotte's Weddings : provided the beautiful wedding dress The Party Place : provided the fun props Yen : for Sam's hair Kimmie : for Sam's makeup This is just a taste of the photos ta...

All we can way is: WOW . What an amazing time Josh and I had at this wedding show... We had the pleasure of hanging out with friends in the wedding industry, meet new fabulous ones, talk with newly engaged brides and photograph the goodness that was set up all around us! Misty and Ashley of Luxe Event Productions organized this magical show and it will become a favorite, once-a-year event, with lots of success. It was such a hit, that I KNOW people are already planning on visiting next year! :) I will let the photos speak for themselves, so I won't "bother" you with many more words :) Below the images you'll see many relevant links associated with the show (in no particular order - the list if partial, so be sure to visit Luxe's official site for more!).
