Oregon Golf Club Wedding: Charlotte & Kyle

Weddings

Elegant ease. That’s what we think of when we think of Charlotte & Kyle’s wedding day. How could you not? I mean, look at Charlotte! I don’t think I have ever seen a bride look more like an Italian princess (though I am not sure she is Italian). And Kyle…does anyone else see a young Jon Hamm? Just me? So the two of them together looked impeccable on their day. But more than that, the way they are as a couple can be described as elegant ease. They just have a way of fitting together so elegantly. They are such an amazing match. We were so honored to film their day. Charlottle and Kyle, you truly are special. You are special individuals and a special couple. Thank you for letting us in. Now run off into the sunset you two!

Eastside Exchange Portland Wedding: Varun & Bianca

Weddings

Bianca and Varun come from two different cultures and on their wedding day they wanted to honor that. Not only that but they wanted to give their family and friends a weekend they would not forget. That’s why they planned their cross cultural event nearly 1000 miles away from their home in LA and asked their guests to come to Portland to experience all this city has to offer. Along with the beer, wine, food, and Pips Donuts they started the day with a Hindu ceremony followed by a Catholic ceremony. And capped the day off with an amazing sunset and dancing into the night. Definitely a weekend that their friends a family won’t soon forget.

Left Bank Annex Wedding: Holly & Mark

Weddings

Usually I write a little about the couple, but for this post I’m gonna do something a little different. I want to talk about my favorite moment of the day. Right as Mark begins to repeat after the officiant he is caught for a moment… and that moment for me was amazing. It was this beat where Mark just came to experience the depth of this very moment. The moment he was committing forever to the woman he loved. Its these moments that I love as a filmmaker. Its a moment that so easily be missed when you are there in real time. Its also a moment that cannot translate in photos, because its about the time he takes to feel the experience. Its something that surfaces only in the editing of the film. This moment is what makes a day like this special, because it reveals the experience that our couples are having. Because in that moment, you understand what this moment means to Mark… and how he feels about Holly. It was an awesome day for everyone involved, and this moment is the perfect illustration.

Portland Art Museum Wedding

Weddings

We have done A LOT of weddings. But there’s always a first for everything. This was our first Persian wedding. We absolutely love learning about new cultures and how they celebrate their love. And boy do the Persians know how to celebrate. This couple had an amazing group of family and friends to help them celebrate in their love. We don’t think the dancing every stopped! Definitely a way to celebrate if you ask us.

Abernethy Center Abigail’s Garden Oregon City Wedding: Jace & Mikaila

Weddings

We absolutely love a good “backyard wedding” and that’s exactly the backdrop that Abigail’s Garden at the Abernathy Center provided for Jace & Mikaila’s day. The wedding ceremony was nestled in the private garden, the reception under the amazing tent, and contra dancing & a balloon-wish send off in the field. It was their own private garden and it was perfect.

Summit Grove Lodge Wedding: Michelle & Ken

Weddings

What a great day. Even though it was a little warm, Michelle and Ken had smiles on their faces all day. They were just so comfortable with one another. As they walked through the woods for their photos you could tell that they just belonged together. For our first wedding in Washington, we had a great time.
