Sydney & Brent- Portland Wedding Photographer & Videographer at Portland Center Stage

When Sydney and Brent decided to tie the knot, they didn’t just want a wedding; they wanted an experience — one that was intimate, artistic, and uniquely them. And what better place to set the stage for such a special day than the Portland Center Stage, a venue known for its bold architecture and vibrant energy. We were honored to be their wedding photographer & videographer.

The moment we arrived, we could feel the anticipation in the air. Portland Center Stage’s stunning urban backdrop perfectly complemented the couple’s modern yet timeless style. The space itself is a mix of industrial chic and elegance, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light, making it every photographer’s dream. As the couple exchanged vows, the glow of that late-afternoon light highlighted their joy, making it impossible not to capture moments that felt both candid and cinematic.

Sydney was radiant in her custom gown, while Brent stood by her side, looking every bit the part of a groomsman-turned-husband. The energy was electric — full of laughter, happy tears, and the kind of joy that only a wedding day can bring.

What truly stood out was how the venue’s artistic atmosphere brought out the best in their personalities. From the modern decor to the subtle touches of greenery, every detail of their day felt intentional and reflected their love for each other. The Portland Center Stage provided an incredible canvas, and as a photographer, I loved the way the architecture framed the love between Sydney and Brent.

Capturing the moments throughout their day — from the first look to the last dance — was an absolute honor. Every shot felt like it told a story, and the backdrop of Portland Center Stage only added to that narrative. Sydney and Brent’s wedding was a true reflection of their love: stylish, authentic, and filled with the kind of magic you can only find when two people are exactly where they’re meant to be.

Enjoy some of our favorite images from their day as well as their highlight film.

Harper & Trevor // Styled Session At the Columbia River Gorge

Nothing better than gorgeous views, cliffs and an amazing couple! Harper & Trevor are seriously the nicest and most fun people you will ever meet. We filmed their wedding Last year at the Tin Roof Barn in the Gorge and it was so beautiful. This year we asked them if they will like to model for us for a styled shoot out that Jason & I hosted for other photographers  at the Columbia River Gorge and I’m so glad they said yes! We worked with some amazing Vendors as well who shared with us their talents. Here are some of my favorite images from the Shoot. Enjoy 🙂
