Pearl District Portland engagement session
Katie and Nick! They are originally not from Oregon, so this engagement session doubled as a little bit of a walking tour of part of our Northwest neighborhood :) We started off in the Alphabet District, walked all the way to the Industrial NW area under the Fremont Bridge and then circled back around to The Pearl. It was a beautiful sunny and warm-ish autumn day and it was fun! We had a blast getting to know them and are excited for the new friendship!!

SURPRISE proposal in Oregon's wine country. She said YES!
We literally and seriously have no words to describe how touched and fulfilled and happy we are to do what we do. Not only are we your wedding photographers, we are also your friends... and as friends, everything you do is meaningful to us. And if you ask us to be there for you, during one of these important moments, we will be there.
Yesterday (October 23rd 2011) was no different. Nate called Josh and set up a time to meet up. Krystal and I were texting back and forth about unrelated things. Little did she know that Nate, Josh and I were collaborating in secret about visiting them on Sunday, for brunch and then joining them for a fun afternoon wine tasting in Oregon's wine country... and photographing his proposal to her!
We met with them in the morning, had delicious breakfast, drove together to Erath Winery near Dundee Oregon and started wine tasting and admiring the beautiful autumn colors of the vineyard grounds.
Allow me to backtrack for one second... Krystal & Nate were randomly in Hawaii, swimming in the water, in Waikiki, at the same exact time as Josh and I, this past April. Josh accidentally bumped into them and ended up talking about being from Portland. It turns out that we all were from Portland and VOILA'! Friends at first sight! We hit it off immediately and ended up taking trips on the island together for our entire stay. It was amazing! Travelling does that to you, but this time, we had a bonus. These two fun travelers were going to go right back to Portland, where we live too! Ever since then, we've been great friends...
SOOOOO... when Nate asked us to be there for him, at the moment he proposed to Krystal, we were SO happy and of course, couldn't miss it for the world!
Notice Josh trying to distract Krystal telling her to look away (from where Nate was coming, since he was hiding the ring behind his back). As soon as Nate got close enough, we stepped back and let them do their thing... I TEARED UP and she said YES!

Here are a few images of when we first met in Hawaii back in April...
and then the sneaky photos we took of Nate's proposal!

Committed 2011 Portland's Alternative Bridal Event
Another fantastic Bridal Show / Wedding Show presented by Luxe Event Productions in collaboration with a select group of vendor sponsors (us of MoscaPhoto included!) and, of course, all of the rest of the vendors who participated as exhibitors. Committed was amazing. I even personally went "crazy" and asked my friend Jessica (a fabulous make up artist here in Portland!) do doll me up with her magic touch... thank you Jessica!
The date was this past Friday, October 21st, 2011 and it was at the Ambridge Event Center on MLK Boulevard, just North of the Oregon Convention Center.
700 guests walked through the doors between 5 and 9pm and it absolutely felt packed and loud, while organized and fun! There was friendliness, humor, professionalism and cooperation and definitely LOTS of love in the air.
Josh and I are honored to have been there not only as a photography vendor, but as the sponsor photographers as well. Luxe Event Productions and we have worked together for several years, on projects that only aid on inspiring future couples to have the most perfect wedding. This kind of cooperation and the hard work put into it, is what sets vendors apart. OH! And thank you also to the beautiful models who took time out of their lives to volunteer to strut clothes and accessories for the enjoyment of all!
To anyone who made it to the show, thank you for indulging us and for the chats, laughter, information and inquiries! To those who didn't have a chance to come, don't worry! Committed 2012 will arrive sooner than you think, I am sure ;)
More vendors will be added to this list as I get the information, for now, here are the main players and those in the photos i've posted! <3
