All Things Oregon – Wedding Styled Shoot – Portland Wedding Photographer

 

Just one quick picture from the “All Things Oregon” styled shoot. Organized by Ashley from Stargazer Weddings. Check back real soon for more!

Love Letter Box

I loved this idea from Breanna and Cole’s wedding. They had this beautiful box with wine. They wrote each other love letters, telling the other what they meant to them. The letters were tucked inside the wooden box along with copies of the vows they wrote.  On their 10th anniversary they would open the box and read each others love letters and enjoy a bottle of wine. If they were having problems in their marriage then they could open the box up early. Such a great idea!

Professional Hair and Makeup for your Wedding Day

I can’t stress enough the importance of having your hair and makeup professionally done on your wedding day. It is so worth it! Professional makeup artists use makeup that is going to last all day and use the type of makeup that will look the best in your photos.  The majority of brides these days are also getting false eyelashes for their big day. If you weren’t lucky enough to be born with long lashes you can get false lashes for the day or even some that will last a month. It is amazing the variety of lashes they now have. From really natural to really dramatic. If you are the more natural type of girl don’t shy away from false lashes. They really just add an extra pop to your eyes and look stunning.

Custom Carved Stamps for Wedding Favors

I had my logo made into a stamp  by Brown Pigeon on Etsy. It was hand carved. For a recent wedding show I stamped these muslin bags (also found on Etsy) and put little goodies inside. A Hand carved stamp of your wedding initials on muslin bags would be a really cute wedding favor.

West Coast Event Productions | Portland Wedding Photographer

So honored to have West Coast Event Productions use one of my images for their ad. This was a beautiful wedding and they did an amazing job transforming this private property into looking gorgeous! Here are some more pictures from that wedding.

The dance floor  had a rustic-chic “Louisiana Bayou” look with elevated  floor and chiffon treatments around floor with willow and cafe lights acting as the centerpiece to the whole yard.  The tables featured Mocha Shantung linens with Kiwi Lime Shantung Napkins (Shantung is a pure raw silk ).  The plates were a Taupe Earthenware with a Kiwi square glass swirl salad plate sitting on top of a wood grain charger.  The centerpieces were small iron trees with votives, along with ivory roses with Ruschs leaves and more cone votives with key lights at the base.  Other centerpieces  included the famous iron trees with simple centerpieces of Limes in a cylinder with floating candles.
