A few weeks back we were able to film Crystal & Ben’s wedding. Even though the weather was crazy with batches of sun and down pouring rain, this was such a fun wedding with beautiful bridals at the Portland LDS Temple and reception at Cornelius Pass Roadhouse.

I love the power of social Media. Zeena and I met through Instagram. We didn’t even realized we lived in the same home town!! I love photographing her beautiful Family. They were so much fun!!!
I love Social Media and the power of word of mouth. I got to photograph Aisha, her beautiful sister Siti, and their brother Isse. They were so fun and so photogenic! Enjoy 🙂
Back in March, Francisca and I had the opportunity to work with Real Food by Dad & Bakers Royale as they teamed up with Airbnb to visit Manzanita, OR. This was such a fun project to work on, even with all the snow and rain. Luckly, the weather did give us a long enough break to get the drone out and get some pretty shots of the coast and home.
In this project, it was our goal to capture the journey of Real Food by Dad & Bakers Royale’s family as they experience the coast and challenge their family to do new things. Teaming up with Airbnb, they didn’t want to just have a traditional vacation, but experience the coast like a local would.

One of my favorite projects to work on are weddings. Lately, Jason & I have been able to work with several Somali couples. Two weeks ago we photographed and made a video for Zulaikha + Anwar. They had their main venue at the Ramada Hotel in Portland, Oregon. The decoration was so elegant. We loved it!
Somalian Weddings are not like your regular expected weddings. First of all they have an all women’s night. Usually there are not men there. Here is when the celebrate the bride to be. It is usually the night before the big wedding party. Their celebrations are during the night from 9pm-2am. They are full of dancing and joy.
The second night is when they celebrate the marriage. The bride has several outfit changes and for half of the reception it is just the women. On her last outfit change the groom comes to the reception with her and so do the the rest of the men invited. They are full of culture, dances, and love. We love working with the Somali people. They are beautiful!!

The Japanese historical garden in Portland is so beautiful in the Spring. The Cherry blossom trees are gorgeous! The Vassar family was so much fun to photograph. They reminded me of when we do pictures of our family. Nothing better than kids who love Paw Patrol and that I can relate to because that’s all we watch! lol Enjoy.
