Portland church ceremony & Mt Hood Bed & Breakfast destination reception

Portland church ceremony & Mt Hood Bed & Breakfast destination reception

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!

What can we say about Caroline & Alex? It will most likely sound cliché, but it’s ok! They are beautiful, fun, smart, surrounded by fabulous friends and family… right up our alley! Their wedding day was epic with plenty of time between scheduled events, so as to let the day be relaxed and not rushed at all. Caroline got dressed up in the home she grew up in, with her bridal party and her mom and dad, in the hills, overlooking the City of Portland. What a beautiful location for their first look! The whole city could have witnessed it, if only they had known to LOOK UP! :) Their ceremony was at the Pearl District’s Fields Park, a brand new city park on the outskirts of NW Portland, with beautiful views of the old mill and the Fremont Bridge. From there, everyone partied at The Nines Hotel in downtown! They met at PDX (that’s right! Our world famous airport), so their fabulous favors were made to look like PDX’s famous carpet. The dance party! Her dad’s speech which included hired actors! Generous portions of delicious foods and delicious drinks. It was perfect! Here is their detailed sneak peek, which we hope does the day justice <3

Kathy and Sunyong ( #chitolee2014 ) are beautiful, in love and totally fun. Josh and I had a great time photographing their urban engagement session... we even had delicious dinner afterwards because it was just so great getting to know them! Our awesome official MoscaStudio associates Courtney and AJ took over the photography at their wedding day. The resulting images are just perfect! She is a stunning bride with an impeccable sense of style, but with plenty of dance party fun too. There was a mixture of fun getting ready time, a romantic first look, a great bridal party portrait session, a cocktail hour and other mingling times filled with hugs and laughs, the beautiful ceremony, and then the reception party itself. The Oregon Golf Club is one of our favorite venues to date, by the way... it is nothing but elegance and picture perfect backdrops for any wedding day... We are excited to have 2015 weddings there as well!
