Shannon + Chris {Puerto Vallarta, Mexico} 2/4/11

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico was the destination Shannon and Chris decided on for their destination wedding. They put many hours into researching and planning this event to make sure it was perfect. As the photographer, I can say it sure paid off. The Riu Vallarta Resort had a very elegant yet casual feel that fit their event perfectly! Above all this wedding was FUN! This crowd sure knows how to party. For me this event was a blast. Congrats guys!

Lucas and Emma, Arista Ballroom, 1/28/11

Lucas and Emma were a photographer's dream, gorgeous, easy-going, and totally in love. They were married at the Arista Ballroom in SE, and everything about this wedding was fabulous! The Arista is such a great place to have a winter wedding. Thanks to Emma and Lucas's patience with my lighting, we were able to get some pretty dramatic images. Thanks for a fabulous night guys!!!

Arielle and Leif, Body Vox, NW Portland, 1/22/11

I didn't find out until the ceremony that Arielle and Leif have been together since they were 15 years old. I was not surprised by this, as their love for each other is so grand and so apparent. Their love definitely radiated throughout all aspects of the event, from the ceremony being dimly lit to the 2.5 hour, 7 course meal. I truly enjoyed being a part of it!
