Chrys and Nate – Hotel DeLuxe Wedding – Portland Oregon

I’ve been meaning to post pictures from Chrys and Nate’s wedding for almost four months, so please pardon the extreme tardiness (there are a few more weddings that I should be blogging about in the next couple months).  Nate and Chrys were married at the Hotel Deluxe in downtown Portland in March.  The luxurious vintage details of the Hotel Deluxe made for the perfect setting for their intimate ceremony and reception, I loved the lush drapes in the Screening Room where they were married, and the vintage-looking chandeliers, and the gentle Alice in Wonderland theme of their wedding could be found in little details throughout the day.

I loved Chrys’ vintage silver dress, and her blue high heels added a wonderful burst of color. They had friends play guitar and sing as they walked down the aisle, and Chrys’ sister officiated the wedding (and included an aptly placed quote from the Princess Bride).   The friendly dog you’ll see in a few pictures walked the rings down the aisle (and was a great sport!).

After the ceremony, guests gathered in the gorgeous lobby for a few signature cocktails while I stole the couple for a few minutes to take some pictures around downtown, then everyone gathered in the Screening Room for dinner, ice cream from Salt N Straw, and lots of dancing (but not before a series of very touching, and a few hilarious, toasts).

Since Nate and Chrys are friends of mine, it was especially meaningful for me to get to be a part of their wedding day. A few of my favorite pictures are below.
