portland winter wedding: se miraron tan felices

these two love birds met in mexico, fell in love, hired me and had the sweetest bilingual ceremony i've ever attended. the  aqua riva restaurant and venue is right near portland's city center on macadam.

very little spanish is spoken by her family and very little english by his but the love and support for these two was palpable all night.

felicidades a ustedes y las dos familias. 

les agradezco por la oportunidad de estar alli en su dia tan especial. 

happy spring and easter and flowers blooming!!

here's to sweet new growth and the promise of spring.

may you enjoy your family and friends today and allow yourself to move brightly forward as you wish.

these bursting bulbs are from my recent trip to visit a friend in Nurenberg, Germany.  

just because these are still cracking me up

la nueva actriz: the many faces of caira

This little one's parents are both actors here in Portland. Their daughter's newborn portraits show off some fabulous expressions.  I wonder where she got these skills!  

Caira is 7 weeks new! Bienvenida a la peluda!

some old wedding favorites

I've been sifting through my portfolio lately, partially rethinking my look for a new website design and partially just enjoying the images.  Here's some favorites I found from weddings past.

 

and of course a cute little flower girl eating blueberries out of a coffee mug.
