Sydney and Treavor – Portland LDS Temple and Lacamas Lake Lodge
I met with Sydney and Treavor and their families at the Portland LDS Temple to get some pictures around the temple before their wedding reception. It was one of those very warm days in early July, but we were able to stick mostly to the shade and grab some really beautiful family pictures around the gorgeous white marble of the building. Then the two of them stuck around with me for a few more portraits in the 90 plus degree weather. I can’t say enough what great sports these two were during their pictures, even though it was super hot they were both smiling and laughing the entire time, which makes my job pretty easy. I loved the silhouette of Sydney’s dress, and the colors of her bouquet, Treavor had a really wonderful white and blue wedding ring that looked just incredible when we put it next to the Sunflowers in the bouquet.
Later that afternoon friends and family gathered at the Lacamas Lake Lodge for a reception, you will notice that I got lots of pictures of the dessert table because it was just filled with goodies (cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, canolis, and lots of other bite-sized treats). At the end of the day, I was able to steal the couple away for a few more portraits on the dock near the lake. There was so much joy at this celebration, I was very happy to get to be there to capture some of it!
Ellilea and Rick – Lake Oswego Wedding – LDS Temple and Tumwater Room
I met Ellilea and Rick right after their ceremony at the LDS temple in Lake Oswego to take some wedding portraits. Although it was a bit foggy that morning, we managed to get some great wide shots that showed the beautiful (and very tall!) structure behind them as they stood in front of the reflecting pool outside the temple. I loved how beautiful Ellilea’s hair looked against the marble of the building, and compared with the white and cream colors of her wedding dress and decor. After photos, I followed them to the Tumwater Room in Oregon City for a ring ceremony in front of lots of their friends and family. Since it was December, there were many beautiful Christmas trees up at the venue, the dark greens in those trees looked really lovely with the gold and white centerpieces. It was such a joy to be a part of their wedding day, some of my favorites are below.
