Intimate winter wedding at Hotel deLuxe, Portland OR

Crista and James are an awesome couple! The are successful in life, completely in love with each other, surrounded by genuinely wonderful family members and friends... Photographing their wedding day this past January 5th 2013 at the fabulously Hollywood-style Hotel deLuxe, was a huge pleasure! [I want to give a big shout out to my friend Alan Weiner for helping me out at this wedding with his second shooting assistance!] This was our first wedding of our 2013 season and we can honestly say that we started off with a bang ;) It was a quaint, little wedding. Only the core people in Crista and James' life was in attendance. They actually travelled from Washington DC to get married here in Portland! It was truly a cozy and fun day, that I'll remember for ever. Thank you Crista & James!

Special thanks to an awesome crew of wedding vendor peeps, who never stop being awesome ;)

Skamania Lodge wedding day of Emily and Joel!

This was our very last wedding of our very long 2012 season! Meeting Emily and Joel one year ago, really opened us up to what was sure to be one fun party. Sure enough, it was! I tried to summarize the day with the handful of images below... WHEW! See Mother Of The Groom doing some air-guitar with Joel. See also, everyone doing the Gangnam Style thing that's so huge right now. See Joel and his close dude-friends screaming to a tune while holding a very cooperative little flower girl... aaaahhh yes. This was one epic wedding party! :D

Skamania Lodge is one of our favorite venues to date. I used to live in Stevenson WA, so getting back there for a wedding was like going home. The weather pretty much cooperated too! There were bursts of rain here and there (it WAS november 3rd after all!) but for the most part, there were gorgeous clouds and no rain. We had a blast! 

The two of them are loving, surrounded by close family and friends and just simply wonderful people. We had a great time photographing their wedding and can't wait to see them again in person!! LOVE our job!! :D
