Mary & Alex's Wedding at Abernethy Center | An Oregon City Wedding

September 23, 2013

Alex & Mary’s Wedding at Abernethy Center was so elegant and sweet. They are obviously meant for each other and the photos from their “first look” show how fun-loving and adorable they both are. Their wedding included a super fun Bollywood dance lesson, a polaroid guestbook, hilarious and heartwarming speeches and lots of bubbles. A perfect wedding, in my opinion. Congratulations Alex & Mary! Thanks for stopping by!

Heidi & Karl's Whimsical Wedding at McMenamin's Edgefield | Portland, Oregon Wedding Photography

September 17, 2013

Heidi and Karl’s whimsical wedding at McMenamin’s Edgefield was perfectly executed. It was the first Quaker wedding I’ve ever photographed and I’m so glad I got to experience it. The ceremony is more meditative than a typical wedding. Guests can share a story or thought if they’d like, but there’s no pressure to speak. They exchanged their rings and vows, but somehow it was a bit more natural and personal. Each guest was considered a witness and signed their marriage certificate. It was intimate and emotional, but in a different sort of way. I loved it.

The details were a perfect representation of Heidi and Karl. Mini Diana cameras and rare books were found on every table, with vintage-y Alice in Wonderland inspired table settings. They had a typewriter for the guests to write messages and a Heidi & Karl themed crossword puzzle. I can only hope that my wedding is as beautiful, comfortable and magical as this one.

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! :) -Myles

Charl & Bruce's Wedding at Heisen House Vineyards | Portland, Oregon Wedding Photography

September 12, 2013

Charl & Bruce’s wedding at Heisen House Vineyards was so dang cute. Cowgirl boots, karaoke, pie cupcakes and a gorgeous sunset all had a place at the wedding and I loved every second of it. Charl & Bruce’s wedding was particularly important to me because I was given an amazing opportunity to create unique photos. Charl & Bruce asked me if I could somehow incorporate photos of their brothers into their wedding photos. They each have a brother that has passed away and I can only hope that the photos I created will fill their hearts with warmth and remembrance. Their brothers were there in spirit and I feel so honored to be able to use photography in such a meaningful way. Congratulations, Charl & Bruce!
