Rhiannon is a senior at Franklin High School, in Portland.  We had so much fun photographing her senior portraits at Mt Tabor Park in SE Portland.  She’s a musician, and brought her beautiful cello along for the senior portrait session.  

We asked her a little about her life, and here’s what she told us:

Tell us about your life in music:

I play the cello with Concert Orchestra in the Metropolitan Youth Symphony. I love being able to relay how I feel and tell a story through music, which is why I’ve been playing for over seven years.

How about athletics?

I do weight training in my own time and love when I beat my personal record and can lift more, it’s a great feeling.

What are you most excited about in your senior year?

I’m exited to graduate and look back at how much I’ve changed and matured through high school.

What are your favorite hobbies?

I love to draw as well as write creative stories. I also enjoy exercising as well as baking everything imaginable.

What are you planning to do after high school graduation?

After high school graduation, I want to go to college and pursue a medical career while playing cello in my college orchestra.

What are your biggest hopes and dreams?

I want to become a doctor, or a PA, and dedicate my life to helping others. Rhiannon, thank you for the privilege of photographing your senior photos!

Bride and groom kissing with masks on

Love in the Time of Covid-19

Ezy and Kevin decided that a worldwide pandemic wasn’t going to stop them getting married, so they turned their large church-wedding into a small backyard wedding at a family property.  And even with all the precautions in place, it was beautiful!

It was really interesting getting to chat with the bride’s hair and makeup artist, Blossom and Beauty, and learning how her business has had to change to ensure client safety during a pandemic, including using gloves, mask, face shield, and disinfectants.  She still did a great job!

Pandemic Precautions at a Wedding

Thankfully with the use of long lenses and a mask, I was able to stay socially distant for the entire day. The bride and groom scaled down the guest list to just 13 people (with approval from the county) and included the rest of their friends and family through a Zoom call.  But even though the gathering was small, they made time for several meaningful moments, including a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and greeting of their guests with the bride dressed in a beautiful Korean hanbok gown.  Even the rain didn’t dampen their spirits, and we were lucky to find some breaks in the rain to get outside for portraits.

Congratulations, Ezy and Kevin!

A Sunset Wedding to Remember

This wedding was in Claremont, CA. Aaron and Gabriela had the best day surrounded by family and friends. They got married and shared their first kiss at sunset then moved the party into a beautiful indoor venue. They had their first dance to one of their favorite songs and spent the rest of the night enjoying drinks and dinner with all their favorite people. This is a day that will never be forgotten!

Ainsworth House Wedding Photography

Celina and Russell’s wedding was a fabulous celebration reflecting what was important to them, their friends, and family.  Their family came from far and wide to be there and support them in marriage, and I left there feeling like I was now part of their family.  And, it was clear that Russ felt like he was the luckiest man alive to be marrying Celina! 

 

Married Beneath the Pine Tree

The Ainsworth House, in Oregon City, has this amazing pine tree beneath which the outdoor wedding ceremonies are held.  It is such a stunning location for a wedding!

A Balloon Artist at the Wedding!

I particularly loved the balloon artist that they hired for the reception.  I’m sure that it was meant for the kids, but by the end of the night everyone was wearing a special balloon hat… even the bride and groom! night photography sparkler fun creative summer wedding

A Sparkler Sendoff

The Welton-Guzman families are some of the nicest and sincerest people. I am looking forward to photographing Russ’s mother’s wedding in the near future!  YAY!

the happy couple at their wedding in oregon

Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Wedding

Brooke and David had a vibrant wedding at McMenamin’s Cornelius Pass Roadhouse, filled with fun and a ton of laughter. We had so much fun with them! 

We asked them a few questions and here’s what they said…

What was your favorite detail from your wedding?

A favorite detail is probably the weather! The ceremony and dinner were both held outside, and we decided four days before the wedding to not put up any tents. The weather could not have been any more perfect on our wedding day. 

perfect weather for an outside wedding in oregon

we love photographing couples at their weddings

What was your favorite moment of your wedding?

One of our favorite moments was the very last song at the reception. All of our guests made a circle around us and swayed and sang while we slow danced in the middle of the circle through the whole song. It was a great way to be able to see all the guests at once and to slowly take it all in. We felt surrounded by a lot of love!  

What was the funniest thing that happened at your wedding?

While one of our guests was getting down on the dance floor, his pants suddenly split. Someone grabbed a napkin and tucked it into his pants to cover up the split, and he kept on dancing the whole night.

Is there anything else that you’d like to share?

The whole day from beginning to end was so much fun! Everything went so smoothly and we both felt happy and relaxed throughout the entire day. It was such a special experience to have so many close friends and family all together in the same place.

Where did you find your wedding attire?

Bride: dress from Allure Bridals, belt from Justin Alexander, and veil from Charlotte’s Weddings; shoes from Enzo Angiolini (ceremony) and Cole Haan (reception)
