Cheers to Justin and Melissa!

It’s always exciting when one of your best friends finds his match in a woman like Melissa. Li and I are so proud to call them our friends and are both honored to stand by them on their wedding day. Justin is one of the oldest and most cherished friendships that I have… so cheers to He and Melissa along with the many years of joy they’ll have as a couple. They will make a wonderful team and will surely do great things together!

Celebrate with us… and keep Portland weird.

Chip + Jodie = Engaged!

There’s no better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than to post photos of a couple that are so very much in love. :)

Jodie and Chip got engaged last summer, and are preparing for their upcoming July wedding! We had a great time driving up to Timberline and trekking through the snow with the two of them. I went to school with the lovebirds, and can’t believe how fast time has flown. They have been dating for over 5 years now, and are so cute together. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!!!

A Portland Wedding: Jason and Megan

Jason and Megan’s love story will probably be shown in a theater near you very soon. It’s definitely movie worthy!  A few years ago, they met as strangers in the airport. They struck up a great conversation and went their separate ways. Megan had left a lasting impression on Jason’s heart, and a few years later he decided to track her down. Talk about romantic!
Fast forward to a sunny day in January… Jason and Megan were married at the Old Church in Portland, and held their reception at the hip Urban Studio in NW.  All of Jason and Megan’s loved ones were there.
Highlights

*Jason and Megan had decided not to see one another until the ceremony, and it was truly beautiful. Their smiles were beaming, and they couldn’t take their eyes off each other.
*Two words…  Cupcake Jones!  The cupcakes were delicious.  Megan surprised Jason with special hockey cupcakes.
*I was captivated by the thoughtful and personal toasts at the reception.  I definitely teared up once or twice.
*Being able to see Leon and Sue (Megans’ grandparents), as well as my grandparents.  They have been close friends for years, and it was fun to catch up with them at the reception.

Congrats Jason and Megan!

Jordan & Sunny

My cousin Jordan is getting married to Sunny this spring, and we couldn’t be more excited!  We headed up to the mountain for their engagement session last week, and totally lucked out with beautiful weather.  They brought along their puppy Sakura for the shoot, and I’ve never seen a dog more well behaved.  What a cute family!  :)  Congrats you guys!  You are a lovely couple, and we had a blast spending the day with you.

Celebrating Justin and Valerie

Li and I had an awesome time hanging out with Justin and Valerie on their wedding day. There was so much love expressed throughout the day from friends, family, and of course the happy couple. A few of our (many) favorite moments from the day include laughing with the wedding party, enduring the cold to capture a few outdoor shots, the creative father/daughter dance, and enjoying the delicious cupcakes that were made by friends and family. The sermon was so heart felt and we felt blessed to share in the moment.

Best wishes to you Justin and Valerie!
