Amy & Danielle. A Portland love story.

This is just a quick little sneak peek! Many more images from their fun engagement session shoot coming later on today :) We decided to meet up at Powell's Books here in Portland and then to walk around the Pearl District, all the way to the bright red and beautiful Broadway Bridge. Well... rain stopped us in our tracks as we were inching our way to the top of the bridge. So close! So we ended up having a Bloody Mary and a cappuccino at the Pearl Bakery before calling it a day. Awesome! hehe :)

More details and more images coming soon!

A super sweet and cozy Portland wedding, relived.

Holly and Manny married last summer (7.18.2010) at Meriwether's Restaurant in Northwest Portland. Their closest friends and family attended and celebrated, making the day familial and absolutely one of the sweetest we've attended. Not to mention their engagement session a few months earlier! We set out in search of early tree blooms in the Pearl District, only to find them too premature to make an effect. So... we resorted to our beautiful bridges and architecture! :) Aaahhh yes, improvised photography. Love the challenge!

Here are a few images from both their engagement session and wedding day. As Josh and I prepare for a new set of couples to photograph, this 2011 season, we can't help but think back to our past experiences and past new-found friendships. Holly and Manny are two such new friends we are proud to have in our lives.

{Wedding!} Anna & Daniel. Peninsula Park and Bridgeport Brewery wedding day!

Share|


Peninsula Park is a lovely rode garden park in North Portland. It has historic value and its manicured to perfection. On this particular day, the roses were blooming, the fountain was flowing and the hedges were bright green and perfectly trimmed. What a beautiful place for a sweet, little, cozy, closest-family-and-friends-only wedding!

Here are Anna & Danny's engagement photos, show a few months ago at the equally as lovely Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens in SE Portland. Since that day, Josh and I had been waiting for the actual wedding day to come. Both are successful in their jobs, in love with one another and surrounded by some of the sweetest family and friends to date.

After the park, we headed to the Pearl District, downtown Portland, for the reception at Bridgeport Brewery. The beer was flowing, the food was yummy and the DJ kept the party going for hours! Lots of dancing and plain 'ol FUN!

Here are a handful of images from that day, with the whole lot to come soon! :)
