Bridger and Cameron’s Wedding in Abigail’s Garden at Abernethy Center

Jun . 29 . 2018

the sweet couple at their wedding at abernethy center in portland oregon

We loved celebrating this sweet couple, Bridger and Cameron, at their wedding at Abernethy Center.

We had a great time photographing at the Abernethy Center’s Abigail’s Garden, in Oregon City.

Every detail was perfect, the maroon color palette was absolutely stunning. Everyone was so kind and fun. Check out these wedding details:

Bridger and Cameron were wonderful hosts at their wedding, so thoughtful and inclusive.

Cameron and Bridger could best be described as laid back and full of joy. And their wedding definitely reflected that throughout. They had many personal details throughout their special day. But the most touching part was how they incorporated sweet reminders of Cameron’s father who had passed away. He had his own chair at the ceremony with his plaid shirt hanging on the back of it. And both the bride and groom had a piece of jewelry with her dad’s ashes in it, as a reminder that he will always be a part of their new family. They did a fabulous job honoring his memory. The reception was a blast and party was pumping… going as far as pulling the photographers out on the dance floor! And how could we say ‘no’ to that?

Bridger and her bridesmaids had so much fun together as they got ready for the wedding!

Abigail’s Garden at Abernethy is such a breathtaking wedding venue!

The wedding party looked great all together in Abigail’s Garden at Abernethy Center!

Congratulations Bridger and Cameron! We wish you all the best!

Every detail was absolutely perfect. (And yes, they did put a bird on it.)

And the reception was a blast! The tented area at the Abernethy Center Abigail’s Garden is a fantastic place for a party.

Congratulations, Bridger and Cameron! You were such a delight to work with; we loved being your wedding photographers at Abernethy Center!

Melissa and Michelle’s Engagement Portraits

Jun . 4 . 2018

Congratulations Melissa and Michelle!

A fun, laugh-filled engagement session!

We had a blast photographing Melissa and Michelle’s engagement portraits! The entire session was full of laughter, especially as they saved our photographer, Amy, from falling into the river with all her equipment. We are so excited for their wedding at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. We cannot wait!

We loved photographing these engagement portraits on the Eastbank Esplanade.

Chanda and Josh’s Wedding at Jenkins Estate

Apr . 16 . 2018

The newlyweds incorporated the Jewish tradition of Yichud, taking some time alone to reflect on their journey together

We love photographing at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton!

We’re so happy that we’re preferred wedding photographers at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton, because it means we get to photograph weddings like Josh and Chanda’s. What a fun couple, and a thoughtful wedding! We interviewed Josh and Chanda about their wedding, and here is what they told us:

What was your favorite moment of your wedding?

Josh– My favorite moment was minutes before I walked down the aisle. We were all in formation in a room ready to walk onto the field when I realized it was over. The planning, the details, the stress. All that was left was to walk out, explain how I love my fiancée, and enjoy the company. I finally remembered that she had already said yes when I proposed, and that is really all that mattered.

Chanda– We decided to incorporate the Jewish tradition of Yichud into our wedding, where the bride and groom have a few moments of seclusion away from the guests directly after the ceremony. It was wonderful to sit with my husband and reflect on our journey together.

What was the funniest thing that happened at your wedding?

Josh– For Christmas I thought it would be funny to get my brother in law and father in law samurai swords. They were a cheap find online. I would never have imagined that those swords would be making an appearance in our wedding pictures.

Chanda– We had forgotten that we picked a song from Star Wars as our recessional- it caught us off guard and we giggled the whole way back down the aisle.

What was your favorite detail from your wedding?

Josh– “As long as I can dance at your wedding” became a common saying for my ailing grandmother. Unfortunately she passed in 2010 and was never able to attend my wedding, so we brought a photograph of her and gave it a space near the dance floor.

Also my wife’s train kept falling down. Her sister/ bridesmaid kept trying to pin it up to no avail, so I just held it for much of the night. It was a nice excuse to be close to my wife.

Chanda– We had a longtime friend of ours perform our ceremony. He knew us both well and did an incredible job with the ceremony and added the perfect amount of personalization.

Where did you find your wedding attire?

Josh– I wore a custom three piece suit and shirt from The Duchess Clothier in Portland.

Chanda– I found my dress at Bridal Exclusives, and my veil was the same veil that my mother-in-law wore at her wedding.

The beautiful bride soaking it all in

Josh was excited to profess his love to Chanda, and as wedding photographers, we love these incredibly sweet moments

Mozel tov to the happy couple!

Abrah and Kevin’s wedding at The Aerie

Feb . 23 . 2018

What a good looking couple! We love the variety of wedding portrait locations at The Aerie.

Summer wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing

It was such a beautiful summer day for Abby and Kevin’s summer wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing. When I entered the bride’s room it was buzzing with activity as all the girls ran around getting ready in their cute matching robes.

Once Abby was ready it was time for the first look. The first look is always such a sweet private moment for the couple and I enjoyed watching these two as they looked at each other with such excitement. The three of us then headed off to explore the property and take some fun portraits together.

Once the wedding party joined us we couldn’t help but run out to the green for a few images. And the front of The Aerie is always such a great backdrop for group photos.

The ceremony was heartwarming and all that love just carried through the evening as people dined, toasted, and danced the night away!

All the ladies had matching robes to get ready in.

Wedding photography at The Aerie at Eagle landing is a real delight.

The entryway at The Aerie is such a beautiful location for portraits!

This wedding party knew how to have fun!

We love the fact that The Aerie at Eagle Landing has both indoor and outdoor venues for weddings.

A fun sparkler send off for the happy couple, and a perfect scene outside The Aerie

Gabrielle and Eric’s wedding at Abernethy Center

Dec . 21 . 2017

I would have called this my “Snow Queen” portrait of Gaby, but there was no snow….

A winter wedding at Abernethy Center

I’ve known Gaby since she was pretty small. We met when I photographed her mom’s wedding many years ago. She and her sister were the cutest bridesmaids you’ve ever seen.

Over the years, we photographed her older sister’s senior portraits, her older brother’s wedding, then Gaby’s senior portraits. We did some photography for her graphic design work as well. And now…her wedding photography. What an honor.

Gaby and Eric have so much fun together. So it was a real pleasure to see them finally married, surrounded by their family and friends (who also have a lot of fun together!). It was a beautiful, sunny day for a wedding at the Abernethy Center, in Oergon City, and we took full advantage of that late December sunshine, while it lasted.

The elegant bride soaking in the sun at their wedding at Abernethy Center

Gaby’s sister borrowed her cape (it was cold outside!) and we just couldn’t resist this lovely portrait.

These guys really do have a lot of fun together!

The beautiful Aberthethy Center Chapel in December is such a warm and inviting wedding venue.

A bubble send-off after the wedding ceremony at Abernethy Chapel…and then on to the Abernethy Ballroom for the reception!

Wedding photography in the Abernethy Ballroom is so lovely, when you have a romantic crowd on the dance floor.

This is where my intersection with the family started…with Judy and Jason’s wedding many years ago….

We love Abernethy Center wedding photography, especially at weddings as lovely and meaningful as this.

Congratulations, Eric and Gaby! We love you guys!

Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course Wedding Photos

Nov . 21 . 2017

Allison & Travis’s Wedding Photography at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course

Wedding Venue: Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course in North Plains, Oregon

A beautiful, overcast wedding at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course

It was an overcast day at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course when we arrived to photograph Allison and Travis’s wedding. But Allison’s sunny touches of yellow accents were perfect! They cheered everything up nicely. Plus, Allison and Travis had a lot of fun together, as did Allison’s son (an adorable ham for the camera!), so we had a great time photographing their wedding. In fact, her son also escorted the bride down the aisle, along with her father, which was really touching. And he was also included in the lighting of the unity candle during the wedding ceremony. So meaningful!

During the wedding reception, Travis helped Allison take a few swings at the driving range at sunset (Matt is a regular golfer at Pumpkin Ridge), which was fun to watch. What a fun, beautiful wedding day to at which to be the wedding photographers!

Absolutely love the cleats at this wedding! Details like this make wedding photography extra enjoyable.

Black and white is so classic and classy for wedding portraits!

These two were so cute to photograph together!

The bride and bridesmaids had such a great time together at this wedding!

It was so beautiful to see Allison’s son be part of the wedding ceremony!

The kiss!

Loved this sign that directed everyone to the wedding reception….

So many warm yellow details at this wedding!

Travis is an avid golfer, and helped Allison knock a few in during the wedding reception at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course.

A photo of the golden hour kiss at Pumpkin Ridge!

We love to photograph bride and groom portraits during sunset at weddings!

You can also see the photography for this Pumpkin Ridge wedding on our website!

Sun Valley Destination Wedding: Anne & O’Neal

Nov . 21 . 2017

Destination wedding photography is always a blast. Sun Valley, Idaho made for a beautiful backdrop for Anne & O’Neal’s wedding photos.

Destination wedding in Idaho

Sun Valley, Idaho was the perfect choice for Anne & O’Neal’s destination wedding event. Driving from one end of town to the other takes less than 5 minutes, so it was easy to capture so many picturesque locations. And when the time came for these two to exchange vows at the beautiful church, Our Lady of the Snows, nestled in the rolling foothills of the Rocky Mountains, they were surrounded by family and loved ones. And then…they celebrated the night away….

Jennifer, the wedding photographer, recalls some favorite moments:

-Wedding Venue – Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church (Wedding Ceremony) & River Run Day Lodge (Wedding Reception); Sun Valley, ID.

Anything funny happen at the wedding?

I spent an hour in the morning lint brushing dog hair off of the seats in my car after finding out that I would be the one to have the privilege of chauffeuring the bride and groom from the ceremony to the reception….

Favorite wedding moment/memory?

Anne & O’Neal’s first look was was my favorite part of the day. They were both so fun, and funny, and the best kind of emotions were bubbling over! The location at the barn was stunning, and a few horses even came over to the fence line to see what all the fuss was about.

Why did they choose that venue?

I overheard them saying that both of their families used to vacation in Sun Valley when Anne & O’Neal were children – but I am not 100% sure of that fact.I am also pretty sure (but not certain) that they were living in Denver at the time of the wedding.

Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church was such a beautiful, intimate space for their wedding ceremony!

And then they danced the night away….

Emily & Rockne’s Wedding at Youngberg Hill Winery

Nov . 20 . 2017

“I expected our wedding day to feel rushed and hectic, but when the big day came it was surprisingly relaxing!”

What was your favorite moment of your wedding?

Standing in front of our family and friends and reciting our own vows we wrote for each other. We inadvertently made all our our guest cry. The bride managed to keep it together, but the groom was a puddle of happy tears.

What was the funniest thing that happened at your wedding?

Shortly before we were scheduled to begin taking photos, the bride was concerned about wrinkles and asked the Groom’s mother to go downstairs where the guys were getting ready to inspect his suit. Dissatisfied with the results of the plug-in garment steamer, the Groom’s mom commandeered an iron and ironing board from one of the groomsmen’s hotel rooms and proceeded to iron the Groom’s pants, jacket and shirt before letting him get dressed, much to the delight of the groomsmen.

What was your favorite detail from your wedding?

Our dessert was a selection of pies from Lauretta Jean’s Pie Bakery, the site of our first date. We had five different varieties- heirloom apple, black raspberry streusel, salted honey, tart cherry, and caramel apple- each labeled with a beautiful hand-painted sign courtesy of the Bride’s sister Sarah, who also painted the invitations. Those signs now hang in our kitchen.

Where did you find your wedding attire?

The bride’s dress came from The White Dress in Portland, while the Groom’s suit and tie came from Men’s Wearhouse and his shirt was from Nordstrom, purchased by his best man’s for his own wedding the month before.

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

Since the two sides of our family didn’t know each other very well prior to the wedding, we staged a family get-together on Saturday following our rehearsal in the form of a family baseball game – Team Bride vs. Team Groom. We used extra-soft training baseball and “keep swinging until you put the ball in play” rules. Team Bride came away with a 16-12 victory.

The groom patiently waiting for his well-ironed suit.

The bride’s beautiful dress from The White Dress in Portland.

The happy couple at Youngberg Hill Winery

“Our dessert was a selection of pies from Lauretta Jean’s Pie Bakery, the site of our first date. The label was hand-painted by the bride’s sister, Sarah.”

“I expected our wedding day to feel rushed and hectic, but when the big day came it was surprisingly relaxing! The bride and bridesmaids had time to sip pinot gris on the balcony and just enjoy the venue before starting pictures. All the organizing and planning up until that day very much paid off.” – Emily

Vendors include:
Catering: Willaby’s Catering in Salem

Dessert: Lauretta Jean’s Pie Bakery in Portland

Florist: Distinctive Designs by Denice in Salem

DJ: Event Team Entertainment in Portland

Our rehearsal lunch was held at the McMinnville Grand Ballroom and catered by Biscuit and Pickles Catering.

Sonya & Jeff’s Wedding Photography in Astoria

Nov . 19 . 2017

A perfect Oregon Coast wedding

While their wedding was quaint and intimate, Sonya and Jeff still took full advantage of the beauty that Astoria, Oregon had to offer. From the historic Hotel Elliot to the wedding at the base of the iconic Astoria Column, everyone was treated to a well rounded experience of the Oregon Coast. And after the wedding ceremony, guests went up the Astoria column and threw planes off of it!

Next, we went into downtown Astoria, and photographed their bride and groom portraits on the historic boardwalk.

We got the sense from their engagement shoot that Sony and Jeff were REALLY into a good micro brew. So after a long day of touring the city, their guests were treated to a classic NW reception at Fort George’s Brewhouse and Taproom. All the decorations were homemade, and they played a 20-Questions game where they challenged their guests by asking them questions on how well they knew Sonya and Jeff.

If anyone in the future asks us, “If we were to have a Northwest-themed wedding, what should we include?” we’ll simply pass Sonya and Jeff’s wedding photography gallery along to them.

Congratulations again to Sonya and Jeff and we hope you had a wonderful honeymoon in Vancouver B.C.!

Megan’s Beaverton Senior Photography

Nov . 4 . 2017

Beaverton senior photo portrait session

We had another stunningly beautiful evening for senior photos in Beaverton. Megan is a senior at Beaverton High School. She’s a beautiful young lady that laughs a lot. She’s also interested in medicine (Beaverton High School has a class for just this interest), and is saving for college with her after school job.

This is Maverick, Megan’s dog. They rescued her a year ago, and he’s such a cutie! Well-behaved, and very cooperative in front of the camera. I wish all dogs were like this; it would make photographing them so much easier!

We had a great time photographing Megan’s senior portraits at Jenkins Estate, in Beaverton. It’s one of our favorite locations for senior photos in Beaverton, because it’s large, well maintained, and has so much variety. Add in the golden hour of sunlight at the end of the day, and a beautiful model, and we had a wonderful time photographing her senior photos together.

Natalie’s Senior Portrait Photography

Nov . 1 . 2017

Senior photos for an aspiring photographer

Natalie drove to Beaverton for her senior photo session–all the way from Brush Prairie, Washington! (She’s a senior at Hockinson High School.) As we walked and talked, she mentioned that she was interested in photography, and is studying it in high school. As soon as I had my camera trained on her, she lit up, and was so lovely to photograph. So both behind and in front of the camera, she is one talented lady!

Fall in Portland can be a lovely time to photograph senior photos. But the weather doesn’t always cooperate. That’s why we like to take advantage of warm, sunny fall days to take as many senior portraits as possible. I loved photographing Natalie’s senior photos in Beaverton! What a treat.

Wherever we photograph senior portraits, we’re always looking for new and interesting locations. This hidden gem we found this weekend.

Smiling or serious, Natalie’s so lovely in front of the camera.

Couldn’t pass up the dappled sunlight in the woods at the Jenkins Estate as we photographed Natalie’s senior photos.

An example of the fine-art look in our senior portrait photography in Beaverton.

Some of our senior portrait photographs of Natalie look like they’re straight out of a jeans ad!

Ready for your senior portrait photography session, in Beaverton, or Vancouver, or Portland? Anywhere you want to take your senior photos, we’ll be there. Contact us today to schedule your senior session!
