Just a little bit of sweetness for the day before Thanksgiving. I know my friend Tricia (and fantastic hair stylist at Blu) is so thankful for this little bundle that came her way last month. Here’s Miss Tennessee…
Baby shoots don’t have to be fussy affairs! We got little Tennessee after she had just woken up from a nap and was good and happy. Clear off the bed, lay down some blankets, that’s all the backdrop the little ones need. Okay, so the gorgeous window light was the bonus…

It was a seriously gorgeous September afternoon; the kind of late summer day that every Portlander knows is possible, but we had somehow all been cheated out of until then. We started off at the Nines, a swanky downtown Portland hotel, filled with beautiful light and gorgeous textiles and furniture. Juli’s Old Hollywood-esque gown found its perfect backdrop…
Such a stunning bride!
The way Travis kept looking at Juli throughout the day just melted my heart…
We then headed up to the Rose Garden for the lovely ceremony…
Juli’s Dad looking ever-so-dapper in his kilt…
My favorite shot of the day!
After the ceremony and some more photos, we all headed back downtown to the Davis Street Tavern, for cocktails and a delicious dinner.
Beautiful cheesecake by Davis Street Tavern…
Congratulations, Juli and Travis! I’m so glad I got to be a part of your lovely day.

I feel pretty darn lucky to have been at this wedding. Meghan and Prescott have a pretty remarkable story: they spent their engagement living aboard their sailboat and taking it all the way from Seattle to New York. I loved it the moment I heard it. Living on a sailboat? Why…my parents did that with me and my siblings when I was a kid! Clearly we would get along just fine.
Prescott’s parents have a gorgeous piece of land in the Columbia River Gorge, and it was the perfect spot for the couple’s June wedding. And the weather? After a super-wet late spring, this sunny wedding was exactly what I was hoping for…
Meghan wore one of the loveliest gowns from J.Crew…
My favorite shot of the day!
Meghan and her family/friends spent so much time designing the little personal touches throughout. The whole look was very chic – lots of white and a rustic elegance. It was pretty incredible to think about her planning the whole thing from a boat, thousands of miles away!
It was pretty remarkable to be surrounded by all the love and happiness that day, and hear so many incredible stories of on-board adventures. You can follow along with their journey here: http://velellasdrift.wordpress.com/
