We started the day at Hotel 50 in downtown Portland. Here are a few of my favorite “getting ready” shots so far:

After everyone was ready to go I hopped in the limo with Asumi and her parents to go to the church. She was so calm! I was impressed.

The Ceremony was beautiful and the little church was very charming.

After the ceremony we did some family and bridal party shots. I try and make them fun

And then back into the limo to head back to the west side for the reception luncheon.

This absolutely cracks me up. Andy and his niece went straight for the cell phones. They were pretty funny teasing each other.

A few more “couple only” shots in the beautiful Pearl District in Portland.

The reception was held at the Sungari Pearl Restaurant, DELISH! What a great place for a small party.

I always love to find creative ways to do the ring shots and the restaurant had tons of opportunities.

The whole family seemed so happy about this great couple tying the not. Every relaxed and had a great time just talking to eachtoehr. It was a very laid back reception luncheon, I had a great time just snapping away.

Andy, Asumi & Family thank you again for asking me to be a part of your big day. I had a great time meeting all of you and can not wait to show you all the rest of the photos. I hope your travels home all went well, however long the journey was.  If you area friend or family reading this please leave a comment on this post so I can email you the password to the whole gallery when it is ready.
