Emily & Alex

I was so excited when Emily & Alex asked me to photograph their wedding. Emily is a super talented hair stylist based in Portland, Oregon. We’ve done tons of photo shoots and collaborations together over the last 6 years (like this one)! Emily & Alex had a beautiful ceremony at The Old Church in downtown Portland and then finished up the night with a reception at McMenamin’s Roadhouse. The weather was perfectly overcast (which is always great for photos) and the sun peeked out as the sun was going down for some lovely portrait backlighting. I brought a million film cameras with me (as usual) and took some magical polaroids and Holga photos. I always love working with friends like Emily, who truly value my work and let me get as experimental as I want with their photos. I love the vintage, yet modern aesthetic of Emily & Alex’s wedding - and any bride with lavender hair is immediately my kind of bride. Chris (my husband) was the DJ for the wedding (if you’re looking for a Photography / DJ wedding package - that’s us)! Emily and Alex now have the cutest twin boys (Hunter & Jack) and I love watching their love journey. You can follow Emily on instagram to see her talented hairstyling at @portlandhairstylist. Love you Emily & Alex! <3

Kristina & Louie’s wedding was so incredibly ethereal. I’ve never seen such magical lighting on a wedding day. Maybe it was the location, or the dreamy floral arrangements, or the adorable couple … whatever it was, it was stunning. Their wedding took place at Bridal Veil Lakes in Oregon and I think it might be one of my new favorite wedding locations. It was peaceful, spacious and beautiful. Kristina & Louie booked our Photography / DJ package, which my husband and I offer at a discounted rate to our clients for booking both of us. It includes 6 hours of photography and 5 hours of DJ-ing, which in our experience is the perfect amount of everything. Kristina and Louie are both such kind, lovely souls and I’m kind of obsessed with them. As always, I included a mix of film and digital images. Take a look at all of my favorite photos from their wedding day!
