After having a day to drive around the Juneau area with my awesome sister (we saw glaciers, bald eagles, and lots and lots of snow), it was time for KD and Wess’ wedding, and to ring in the New Year!
KD’s gorgeous Badgley Mischka heels…
Downtown Juneau, Alaska covered in snow…
KD and Wess’ friends spent hours working on this gorgeous backdrop to decorate the ceremony space. It has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen.

KD created a gorgeous modern lounge area in the reception space…
Happy New Year!!
Congratulations, KD and Wess!!
Ceremony location: Baranof Hotel, Juneau Alaska

I’ve known Joel and Brenda for a few years now, and I was so delighted when they asked me to photograph their wedding. I think all of us had a brief panic attack at seeing the rain that Saturday morning, but everyone pulled together like champs and we worked it out! Couples, we’re in Oregon: never fear the rain! Some trusty umbrellas, being okay with the fact that the bottom of your dress may get a little damp (which, let’s be honest…will definitely be the case by the end of the night anyway), and you’re good to go. With that attitude in mind, we set off for the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse…
Joel and Brenda both work in design, and I just knew their wedding would be full of sweet little details…
Yup, she designed those lovely little recipe cards.
Joel’s expression during First Look. Just kills me…
Thank you for indulging me, Joel and Brenda. 
Dinner is served under a bright white canopy.
Another hand-made touch…
Of course Brenda designed this adorable cupcake menu!
This was one of those weddings where everyone was having *such* a good time. Love it!
Joel told me he particularly loves Brenda’s expression here…
Love a couple that boogies down at their wedding! Congratulations, you two!

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.
