Senior Rep – Rex Putnam High School
We had a lot of fun trying out all of our new cool backgrounds and sets during Abby’s studio rep session. Abby is a 3 sport athlete with a great attitude and personality. We are looking forward to her outdoor shoot coming up this week. Thanks a lot Abby for representing our studio!
So the average wedding can take as much as 250 hours to plan. A lot of people in todays hectic world just don’t have that kind of time to make the best choices and decisions when it comes to planning their perfect, dream wedding. A wedding coordinator will not only save you valuable time, but will also enable you to get the most for your money as well as make your special day fun, relaxed and stress free.
While wedding coordinators don’t necessarily make decisions for you, they do help guide and assist you in making educated decisions. A wedding planners training, knowledge, and expertise will turn your ideas, dreams and expectations into reality.
While it used to be that a wedding coordinator was a luxury, todays savvy brides are realizing that a planner can help make the very best of any budget.
Still not sure? My best advice (besides photography advice) would be to consider talking to a wedding coordinator such as…
Marilyn Storch of Portland Wedding Planner.
Careful • Creative • Calm
You and your fiancé should look forward to the big day with the least amount of stress possible. After all, this “business” of planning a wedding is quite an undertaking! It involves your closest friends, your loving families, months of planning, legal documents, decisions and deadlines, the hiring of many professionals, emotional overload… and YOU… the star!
With her very specialized knowledge and experience, Marilyn Storch’s goal is to help you plan an affair that is true to your personality and is original in spirit. With her calm nature and professional demeanor, she will lift the load off of your shoulders and into her hands. Her careful behind-the-scenes guidance will put that extra special polish on your wedding day and allow YOU… the STAR!… to shine.
Here are some images from one of our favorite weddings of 2007 that Marilyn coordinated.

You can see here how happy Ileana & Craig were at the end of their wedding day thanks in no small part to the services and efforts of Marilyn…
Myriah & Jesse’s wedding was so much fun. The day was relaxed and everybody was having a great time. This wedding was yet another reminder of how lucky we are to be included in the happiest days of peoples lives and why we do what we do.
The beautiful flowers were done by Lillypilly Floral Artistry.
The reception was at Embassy Suites, Downtown Portland. Embassy Suites does an excellent job. They are very accommodating, the ballrooms are gorgeous and the food is always fantastic. They really went out of their way when we asked to be let in to the window display across the street (seen below).
A special thanks to Bravo Weddings! The window display was still up from the Bravo Wedding Affair hosted by Embassy Suites.
The car was provided by Park Avenue Limousine.
Sarah & Jonathan are a really groovy, artistic couple and a lot of fun to work with. Again, we were very lucky to have great weather for an early spring wedding. Thank you Sarah & Jonathan for including us in your special day!
Their wedding and reception was at Holocene, an artsy, urban dance club/bar in the inner SE Portland area. Meredith from Central Park Events was there to coordinate and pull the event together. Video by Shaka-Brah Video Productions. Beautiful Flowers by Blum. Amazing cake by Judy at Dream Cakes.
