{Engagement!} Inside the Rose Garden shoot with Rachael & Matthew!

This is SO exciting!

Rachael and Matthew got engaged during a Trailblazrs' game, jumbotron and everything!

So it was only obvious to us to see if we could coordinate permission to get inside the Rose Garden, privately, to shoot their engagement session :)

Well, that's exactly what happened last night. We met up at the loading zone of the Rose Garden and were then invited in by their awesome season ticket guy, Joe.

We had two hours to walk around from the court to the seats at the very top. It was amazing!

We are not allowed to post all of the images here, unfortunately, so here is one Sneak Peek for now, while I work of editing a few more to show. We can't have any NBA logos showing, nor any advertisement banners, so there's quite a bit of editing work ahead of us :)

More to come!

{Engagement!} Andrea & Omar, Eastbank Esplanade & Downtown Portland.

Loved working with them!
Andrea and Omar are funny, in love, fun to talk to and be around... we totally bonded on our 2 and a half hour trek around Portland's prime locations!

We were scheduled to photograph their engagement session at the Eastbank Esplanade and then Downtown Portland, around noon. The day turned out to be rainy and gloomy, we almost had to cancel and re-schedule! Good thing we simply postponed it to 6pm! The sky cleared up, the sun began to shine AND we met at the perfect time of day... at the end of our Portland walkabout, the silhouette of the city skyline was GORGEOUS all lit up with lights and up against the dark blue of the beginning of night. Perfect! :)

They are one of our 2011 couples and we can't wait for their wedding day to come!

Wedding Date: July 9th 2011
Wedding Location: Private Residence in Corvallis, OR

Here is a Sneak Peek of the day! :)

{Engagement!} Holly & Manny in Downtown Portland OR!

Share|

Holly & Manny are awesome! Hip, fun and open to anything!

They were one of the very first to book us for our summer 2010 wedding season, so this engagement session has been in the making for a while! We were waiting for the perfect weather to grace us for at least a couple of hours and we sure got it!

The goal was to look for gorgeous spring blooms in an urban setting. We found some blooms in the Pearl... and they are gorgeous! Then, we made our way to the waterfront and bridges and tracks... how much more urban can we get??

Here is a sneak peek of the engagement session... we have SO many to show! This is just a taste of what's to come :-)

Love,

Alice & Josh

{Vendor Spotlight!} Maloy's Jewelry Workshop, Portland OR.

Josh and I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with our good friend and talented jeweler Shan Maloy, of Maloy's Jewelry Workshop.

He owns and operates this little establishment. Has for over 23 years! It is a quaint little boutique shop in the heart of downtown Portland. His pieces are absolutely amazing and unique. Nothing is mass produced, everything is individually designed, or restored from antiques.

The images you see below, offer a clear glimpse into his world or pearls and diamonds and precious metals.

We start off on the floor, showing neatly displayed and perfectly lit pieces. We then work our way to the "behind the scenes", showing the transition between orderly and meticulous displays... to the clutter, busyness, confusion (to a non-jeweler) that is his upstairs workshop.

There is something absolutely romantic and heart warming about a personal work space of someone involved with one of the most tedious and messy jobs in the world. The difference, the progress, we saw yesterday... from the dusty and piece-ridden work benches, to the neat displays of perfectly buffed rings and necklaces... was inspiring to experience and exciting to witness.

Any bride and groom would absolutely fall in love with his custom pieces, and with the knwledge of a piece of jewelry being made especially and specifically for the individual. So special!

~ As a side note, the large horizontal close up of the gorgeous aquamarine stone set in gold, is my favorite piece in the whole shop! Oooooohh how gorgeous it looks on me! :-)

Stop by, and enter Shan's world. Talk to him or any of his knowledgeable employees and prepare to be wow-ed!
