Nick and Maria came to Portland from Chicago for their New Year’s Eve wedding at the Arista Ballroom. After a beautiful ceremony (officiated by Maureen Haley) and dinner (with beautiful flowers by Broadway Floral), the DJ started spinning some tunes, and didn’t stop until well into 2010. Which is great, because Nick and Maria and their family and friends like to dance!
The Arista is a beautiful space for an indoor wedding, and has some of the nicest little spaces for lounging…and for indoor portraits. Which is great for me, and for beautiful Maria in her stunning dress. The ballroom also a nice, open space, right on Hawthorne–just right for an intimate winter wedding.
And a Happy New Year to you, too, from one of the best Portland wedding photographers, Fritz Photography! We’re looking forward to telling lots more wedding stories in 2010.
Hey! I wanted to say hello and that I LOVE these shots! My name is Ashley and I have a blog all about music at weddings (hifiweddings.com), and I’d love to feature this wedding! Maybe you could put me in touch with the bride to ask about some of the songs they played…but your imagery is wonderful so it would be great to have your presence on the site!
