Ellie is One!

Oh man I adore this little lady.

I mean how could I not, her parents had me out to their killer wedding a few years back, and then back to capture her itty bitty cuteness last year about this time. Now she is back in-front of my camera in all her chubby toddler glory!

It was my pleasure to spend the evening with Ellie and her family at one of my favorite local spots Red Ridge Farms.

Check out the cuteness:

Steve & Anthony are married!

If I had to describe Steve & Anthony’s wedding in one word is would be beautiful.

The weather was beautiful, the house was stunningly beautiful, the groom’s suites were beautiful. It was just that kind of day. Everything was in this beautiful warm haze.

Steve and Anthony planned a wonderful event and invited their nearest and dearest to join in. There was great food, music and so many smiles. The temperatures got a big warm but we all had a wonderful time. The entire day was just beautiful.  It really was our pleasure to capture it.

Flowers: Sammy’s Floral

Celebrant: Melissa Coe

Their Suites: Nordstroms

Meeghan and Robert: the wedding

So a little over a year ago Meeghan and Robert technically tied the knot. They had a lovely little ceremony in Seattle and made things legal. After talk and consideration with their families they decided a church wedding was important to them, so they starting planning their second wedding. They wanted a few things out of this day, to celebrate their faith, gather friends and family from all around the world, and have FUN. As a kind of outsider I can say they got all of their wishes, and did an amazing job planning a stunning event that was a perfect mix of tradition and modern love celebration.

I knew after our “anniversary session” in Seattle these two would be amazing to work with. They did not let me down. We had blue skies, beautiful smiles, and so much laughter.

It was an amazing day!

Ceremony: University of Portland

Reception: Village Ballroom

Flowers: Emerald Petals

Her Dress: Adorned in Grace

On to the photos!

Welcome to the world Addie!

Oh how I adore this family. It was just a few short years ago that I had the pleasure of capturing Sara & Mary’s stunning Oregon Rose gardens and Oregon Zoo wedding. So when we met up again a few months back for maternity photos it was great fun catching up. We talked about weddings, family and babies of course. We were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of miss Addie, and man once she came she did not disappoint. She really is all things sweet and adorable. It was my pleasure again to capture this sweet baby girl and her family. These guys are already such a perfect little family unit, I can not wait to watch her grow this year. 🙂
