I hadn’t photographed a traditional Indian ceremony before, so I wasn’t always sure what was going on, but I photographed it all and it was a lot of fun! Hindu ceremonies are much more active than American wedding ceremonies. Since many of the guests were not Hindu, the priest took time to explain most of what was going on so the traditions would have meaning for everyone.
And then, talk about an epic wedding. If you want to have a stunning, high class wedding, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better location than the Portland Art Museum. I mean seriously, it was a gorgeous wedding day! The Corinthian pillars, marble statues and grand archways definitely let you know that you’re not just at a wedding, you’re at a wedding in the Portland Art Museum. And of course, Zest Floral and Event Design really stepped it up with all of the stylized glitz and glam!
Wow, Meuy and Nai’s wedding at the Portland Art Museum was absolutely phenomenal to photograph! These two have wonderful taste for just the right amount of glam, sparkle and sophistication. This was a high fashion wedding that no one will soon forget. Above is a wedding portrait of the couple that we snagged before the ceremony onstage in the Kridel Grand Ballroom. More coming soon!
Gaaahh! I love everything about this shoot! Its so much fun to get to work with such talented wedding vendors. The style and design of this wedding inspiration photoshoot was the brainchild of Allison, owner of Bramble Floral Design.
I wanted to bring out a little bit of the glamour and lights that we’ve got going on downtown on Broadway. We started around the Park blocks and through the theater and art museum.
Some of my favorite wedding images are from the moments right after the first kiss when the bride and groom are announced as husband and wife for the first time. The first kiss is of course important to catch, but the looks of sheer joy right after are unbeatable! I’ll be sharing a few more of my favorite moments from 2014 but I wanted to start here because I think its a really overlooked beautiful part of the day.
