Finally! We get to post our photos of the fashion shoot we did last week for Dosha, Aveda and Papier Couture. We shot the dresses at the new event space Venue Pearl on the third floor of the Aveda Institute building at 13th and Flanders. The Oregon Bride “Best of” party was held last night (more photos from the party later) and the paper dresses were the finale to the runway show. Eric Newland from Hybrid Moon Videography shot video for both the shoot and the event. Here are some of our favorite shots from the shoot and some “behind the scenes” shots too.

Rachel & Dan’s Wedding – Camas Meadows, Washington

Rachel and Dan had a beautiful wedding day at Camas Meadows Golf Club in Washington. Garside Florist of Vancouver did their flowers and Rachel’s sister made the cake! We were allowed to go out on the course (which is pretty unusual at most golf clubs!) and took some great shots on the fairway, paths and bridges. As you can see, they had an amazing scene (and lighting!) for their ceremony.

Why Hire a Wedding Planner?

admin — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:38:00 +0000

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.

Myriah & Jesse’s Wedding – Portland, Oregon

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.

Rose City Bridal Show & Lillypilly

admin — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 06:29:00 +0000

We had a lot of fun at the Rose City Bridal Show this past weekend and met with lots of great couples!

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Wendy and Lindsi from Lillypilly Floral Artistry. They created our centerpiece and a gorgeous beachy, seashell bouquet to decorate our booth. They did our wedding flowers for us last year and we can not recommend them highly enough! Their work is breathtaking and all our brides that have used them have been absolutely thrilled with their flowers. They are unbelieveably creative and always add special touches to all their designs.

You can see the bouquet modeled here by the lovely Donilee McGinnis, Miss Oregon 2006.
