We loved filming and taking photos of Amy & Jesse’s wedding at the beautiful LDS Portland Temple and the Elysian Ballroom in Portland. We had the rainest day ever, but right before Amy & Jesse came out of the Portland Temple the rain stoped and we were able to do bridals around the temple.
Stephanie + Jacob got married in the Utah, and had a beautiful reception here in Oregon. There was tons of Dancing and fun. Enjoy 😉
I love being able to capture little kids and their smiles. This is beautiful Sam who just turn One! Enjoy 🙂
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 🙂
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!!
