Spencer and Noah's wedding day was nothing short of magical. The day started at the Hotel Rose, a unique hotel known for its pineapple decor. As the photographer, I was able to capture special moments of them getting ready, including the adorable little Chinese takeout boxes that held their corsages and boutonnieres. We then headed to the stunning Pittock Mansion for some pre-wedding couples photos, surrounded by lush greenery and clear weather that made the perfect backdrop.
The wedding venue, Blockhouse, located in the beautiful Pomarius Nursery, was the perfect setting for the night's festivities. The energy was high, with the amazing Pure Vision Entertainment as the DJ, and delicious food catered by Pearl Catering. Rose and I set up our first Instax camera station for guests, which provides the guests with an exciting way to capture each other in ways I never could. With their own dynamics that took years and experience to build. Include some of the most unique extras - the couple also rented llamas through Wedding Llamas, to make an appearance for their guests and everyone arrived in a big yellow school bus!
Spencer and Noah's family and friends were an absolute joy to be around, constantly making silly photos and sharing inside jokes. After dancing the night away, everyone hopped back on the school bus and headed to Paddy's in Portland Oregon for a nightcap.
We feel so fortunate to call nights like this a "work night", because full transparency, it didn't feel like one. Couples that are laid back, true to themselves, and just trust in their photographer to do what they do makes things beyond perfect and I'm really happy we had this opportunity. It was truly a night to remember and Rose and I feel grateful to have been a part of it as their Portland wedding photographer.
