A Luxe Bridal Event in the Pearl - the recap!

All we can way is: WOW. What an amazing time Josh and I had at this wedding show... We had the pleasure of hanging out with friends in the wedding industry, meet new fabulous ones, talk with newly engaged brides and photograph the goodness that was set up all around us!

Misty and Ashley of Luxe Event Productions organized this magical show and it will become a favorite, once-a-year event, with lots of success. It was such a hit, that I KNOW people are already planning on visiting next year! :)

I will let the photos speak for themselves, so I won't "bother" you with many more words :)

Below the images you'll see many relevant links associated with the show (in no particular order - the list if partial, so be sure to visit Luxe's official site for more!). Please be sure to bookmark them and to see what they are all about, 'cause there is an AWESOME family of wedding vendors here in Portland that will be sure to make your wedding day a great success!

Thank You to all who came by our humble booth to chit chat with us and Thank You to all of the vendors who made the day and night a blast! <3 <3

A wholehearted and fun engagement session on the Oregon coast.

Once again, Josh and I spent most of this past Sunday hanging out and photographing and getting to know one of our summer 2011 couples. Lea & Clark are SO sweet and funny and totally in love! They will be getting married at one of our ultimate favorite wedding venues in the area (Gorge Crest) on August 6th. They day cannot possibly come soon enough! We hit it off completely AND were incredibly lucky to have finally chosen a date for this shoot that had nothing but sunshine and gorgeous fluffy clouds... aaaahhh... the power of being able to wait for just the right day for a shoot! :)

We met up in Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast, right by the famous Haystack Rock. We had some fun on the sand and near the water for a bit; then decided to get in the actual town, to take advantage of the beach architecture. Cannon Beach is such a cute and quaint little town, love it there! We knew when the sunset was to happen, so after hanging around town, we drove out to the gorgeous Ecola State Park, just north of where we were, to welcome the gold and red colors of a Pacific Ocean sunset. 

WOW! What a beautiful day to be at the beach! And what a sweet and loving and fun couple Lea & Clark are... YAY for awesome couples!! :)

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!
