Kateri + Trent | Portland

If I could sum up this wedding day in one word, it would be ‘happy.’ It was such a fun-loving, happy, happy day!  Kateri and Trent were just surrounded by a blanket of happiness and you could see the happiness and true good will of all of their friends and family in seeing these two start their marriage together.  With Portland staying true to herself, it even rained a bit, but it just made the whole vibe of the day even more cozy and warm.  Kateri and Trent saw each other that day for the first look at the Cafe where they first met, which was such a fun idea.  We then meandered around the streets of downtown Portland, which proved to be an adventure with the random photo bombers and drive-by circus performers who literally jumped out of their car, did a stunt, hopped back in the car and drove away.  Only in Portland! 
Most people do not look flattering from this ‘under’ perspective. Kateri is an exception. She looks stunning.
Trent’s house pre-ceremony…
I was happy to catch this moment.
An emotional moment for Kateri. So much love from her friends!
The groom’s party.
The first look.
Love.
My favorite shot of the entire day…Rick composed this shot that would make Cartier-Bresson proud:-)
It wouldn’t be Portland without the great public transportation in a shot!
The drive-by circus guys.
The random photo bomber.
The bride’s ladies.
The Trent and Kateri Show.
Look at that ring bearer’s expression! Priceless.
This shot of Kateri walking to Trent has to be one of my most favorite down the aisle shots ever!  That’s why my word for this day is ‘happy’!
I love seeing the expressions of the guests during the Father Daughter Dance…here the Grandmother.  It says it all.

Aischa + Dwight | Gaslamp Quarter

Some sweet shots from our recent shoot with Aischa and Dwight. The best way I can describe them is with the photo above coupled with the photo of their hands doing their secret handshake.  Kind of hard not to love these two! Enjoy…

winnie - excellent shots! just the right depth of field and creative angles. My favorite one is the black and white shot where Dwight carries Aischa up in the air.

Kim - Beautiful pictures! I love them all! But if I had to choose, my favorite is the first one showing a close-up of Dwight and Aischa. You can really see the genuine expressions of happiness on their faces. Second favorite is the first full body shot (Style Lounge Salon is in the background). Such a sweet and natural pose! =)March 16, 2013 – 4:16 am

Laura + Robbie | A sweet stroll through Coronado

We had so much fun tagging along on Laura and Robbie’s date in Coronado.  Starting with a cup of Starbucks coffee, a stroll down the street, a stop for some flowers and ending on the beach for a gorgeous sunset… couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate the beautiful bond that Laura and Robbie share!  They are getting married tomorrow, and we are so excited to document their bond and union made official;-)
