When Smarsh called us to photograph their Great Gatsby-themed Holiday Party, we had no idea it would be this Great. Hosted at Yale Union in Portland, and designed and decorated by our friends at West Coast Event Productions, it was an awe-inspiring sight to behold. From decor to dancers, jugglers to jigglers, I doubt you’ve ever been to a party…

As the evening wore on, August sunset set the…

The day started with a patched up boutonniere (go Susan!) and a much needed handkerchief. Steve wiped away the happy tears spilling down Maryanne’s cheeks as they clasped hands during their first look. Their 3 year engagement was finally over. The fountain hushed the background noise as Steve held her in his arms. Maryanne’s rich Italian heritage was beautifully evident…

Brianna, a perfect match, is an active nurse and balances out his orneryness with her bubbly laugh and beautiful eyes. When they are together, you’re…

They fell in love over teeth. They really did. Swear to God, it wouldn’t have happened had a dentist chair and a serious set of chompers not been involved. Ryan loved being in the armed services–it was challenging, intellectual, a family heritage…but he knew as thriving as he was that something was missing. All the ambition in the world can’t…

There is such a peaceful settledness about the two of them, Mark cracks his wry smile and makes us all laugh with one of his stories. Christina quietly describes her research that brought invites and acclaim from Stanford. Both are so genuine and real, an instant friendship formed between us.

When I met Terrance over coffee, I was instantly struck by his intensely good taste. He was a natural artist, someone who could whip up a beautiful gown for his future mother-in-law without a pattern or even measuring her. I was immediately taken in and we became fast friends, babbling about fashion, “Vogue” inspired wedding photography, and the importance of…
