GOODNESS! This was a long expected wedding day (Krista and Alfredo reserved our services much earlier than the usual on year ahead). When the day finally came (after we had a fantastic adventure on waterfalls fork their engagement session) we knew it would be a full day. We were prepared for it though! Because we knew they’d treat us like family and we’d get to witness so much fun and party and love! We started the day at 10am in Portland, at their church for a long and beautiful ceremony. We then travelled to the Eastbank Esplanade for some awesome bridal and bridal party portraits with Portland in the background. Then we drove to Mt Hood Bed & Breakfast for the reception dinner and party! It was a lot of driving, but it was also a LOT of photographic opportunities, which we love! The day was a very hot one, with temperatures in the high nineties. Everyone rocked it though! There was plenty of musical entertaining, of perfectly positioned LED lighting, the stunning Mt Hood as a backdrop and a bonus Hawaiian hula dance routine to cheer us all up and introduce Krista and Alfredo to their Hawaiian honeymoon. What a fun day! Special thanks to Good Times Productions for being absolutely perfect to work with. They offer video and do it with great respect towards us photographers. Can’t recommend them enough. Enjoy this detailed sneak peek of their 12 hour day!
A green/purple/white Gorge Crest Vineyard wedding
Another beautiful wedding day at Gorge Crest Vineyards has come and gone. This is the place where we feel right at home, with the usual set of vendors we love to work with and always a stunning view. Jenn and Matt are two funny, fun, in love people whom we got to know the previous year at their quick downtown Portland engagement session and then throughout the months on Facebook too! I’ve actually LOLed at some of the things they post. My kind of humor! No wonder when their day came, we felt like old friends reuniting. The day was a hot one, with plenty of sunshine to go around. We stayed in the shade as much as possible, knowing full well we’d have a gorgeous evening a few hours later. Thanks to Donna and Heather of Pearl and Roses Wedding Planning, the day went by smoothly, with help from Floral Designs by Alicia, the fabulous Jamie with the Lamb’s Table catering, Patricia with Gorge Brides and our good friend Dan Moe with DJ and MC duties. It was a glorious day, filled with emotion and tears of joy. Here is a very quick sneak peek of their day. Stay tuned while the rest of the images are worked on! Thanks for looking, friends. #jatt2015
