Real Portland Wedding of Jane & Nate

This was such a great day! My old friend and colleague Tom (with Sikora Photography) called me up to see if I could photograph Jane & Nate's wedding with him. His second shooter fell ill and he thought of me to replace her, since Tom and I had worked for many years together some time ago and we're confident around each other. 

Thankfully, I was available, immediately got ready and went straight to St Mary's Cathedral to meet up with the bride. Lo and behold, this wedding ended up being a reunion of sorts for me! You see, Jane's family had hired Tom and I back in 2008 for Jane's sister's wedding too! Corinne (the sister) was one of Jane's bridesmaids and it was a blast seeing her again! So I essentially knew everyone there and it was even more fun to be a part of it! YAY :)

PS: This is part of what it means to be a professional photographer involved with other wedding professionals. We have backups! We work well together and can always support one another in case of emergencies. I'm so glad I got the call and was available to help! :)

Wintery & Whimsical Timberline Lodge Wedding!

This past Friday March 4th 2011, I (Alice) had the opportunity to second shoot for an old friend of mine, who owns Sikora Photography. He called me a week or so ago to ask if I could help him out at this wedding at the historic and beautiful Timberline Lodge, at the base of Mt Hood... and I was thrilled! Not only did I get to be a second shooter (the behind-the-scenes shooter's role that is always Josh with MoscaPhoto :) I was also given the opportunity to have some fun with photos in the snow!

Cassie and Mike were troopers! The snow started falling, yet they still wanted to be outside for their portraits. She looked stunning and playful in her dress and heels on the fluffy white snow. What a beautifully dreamy place to get married in the winter!
