I think this may be my favorite proposal to date. Location 💯, my picnic table “hideout spot” 💯, the couple 💯. I even found a dollar under my table while I waited 💯

These two wanted their day and their photos to be full of their friends and family laughing and having a good time enjoying themselves, and that’s just what they got! There were smiles and laughs all around me all day long and everyone was having a great time connecting with each other. I’ve photographed many weddings at this venue and this is the first time I’ve seen so many people enjoying all the spaces it has to offer for as long as everyone did. I think I spent more time documenting guests hanging out in the outdoor rustic lodge and downstairs in the speakeasy and game room than I did in the main ballroom, and I loved it! So many joyful candids! And I loved that the couple had a ring “beerer” for their ceremony, so fun 🍻

Today I’m sharing 1 of 2 different engagement sessions I had at Cathedral Park this month. I’ve been photographing this groom-to-be and his family since he was a pre-teen and it’s so special to get to be a part of this next chapter with him! These two are such a fun and relaxed couple and they make such pretty photos too, can’t wait to photograph their wedding soon! 🤍

This sweet December wedding at Powell’s Rare Book Room was a nice bookend to my 2025 season. I’ve been a photographer in Portland for over a decade now and never knew Powell’s was an option for a wedding! I just love getting to photograph in new and unique places and hidden pockets around the city. This was such a special one. I’ve photographed this family for a few years now and was so excited when they reached out to me about their wedding plans. It was such a relaxed and intimate celebration and I’m so happy I got to be a part of it.

Taking a quick break from the depths of family holiday photo editing to share this shoot from October that I’m in love with 💕 My wedding vendor bestie, and I went to Mexico and worked a little wedding shoot together. She foraged for florals all morning along the streets, created this amazing armature bouquet, and then we found so many amazing photo backdrops for this adorable and smokin hot couple! These were all taken in and around - the most amazing villa in Puerto Vallarta, perfect for group vacations and for weddings. We both hope to go back soon for more magic!

This sweet couple has been together for 20 years and decided to celebrate with what they dubbed a “weddiversary” celebration. It was a relaxed, joy-filled evening focused on their guests, games, and good vibes.

It was also an extremely windy day, and the bride’s spectacular cloud-like dress brought so much drama in the best way possible. Everything about this celebration felt effortless, heartfelt, and full of laughter. 💕

And! Something new at The Troutdale House! The city recently cleared out some trees and now you can actually see the river right from the backyard. They’re even adding a little riverside park and walkway, which is going to make this venue even more magical.

My associate photographed this incredible wedding at Coopers Hall, and I got to join in for the last couple hours — and wow, what a night. The whole theme was pure fun: sparkle, disco, karaoke, and pink everywhere you looked. The bride wore the most amazing pink dress paired with a purple cheetah-print veil, and the groom rocked pale purple Nikes. Disco balls filled the room, and the table numbers were all themed around some the musicians of some of their fave karaoke songs.

After a bit of dancing, it turned into a full-blown karaoke party — and this crowd brought it. Even the kids were rapping without missing a word. If you know me, you know I love a good karaoke night, and I left feeling completely inspired by their talent.

The pink vintage-style cake with piped icing and cherries was a showstopper, the late-night chicken tenders and fries were perfection, and every detail was so them. Such a fun, joy-filled night with an incredible vendor team making it all happen.
