sarah + zach's engagement portraits

Sarah and Zach chose Portland's Mt. Tabor as the location for their engagement portraits earlier this summer. I loved the bright pop of color from sarah's dress, and the way the trees and natural surroundings looked in the warm evening light. Fellow Wedding Belle, Jen, designed their amazing invitations which have already set the tone for what is sure to be a gorgeous beach wedding - I can't wait to photograph it!

patty + brent

Patty and Brent met in dental school, he proposed this last year before they embarked to Texas for their residencies. Their venue is a beautiful traditional mansion in downtown Dallas renovated for such functions. The bride was looking to inject a little bit of romance into the event through her invitations. We used a beautiful light grey paper to add a premium feel to the digital printing.



I know Patty to be a pretty funny girl - and I suggested they bring a bit of their humor into the experience via the RSVP postcard. She said the responses so far have been really fun.

kate + mike

Modern take on a Providence postcard. The Biltmore is a landmark, and the wedding venue, so they asked for something that featured the building itself.



we also used blogger to create their wedding site! it's free and works great!

Dana and Steven got married in the hip Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle.



Black pussywillows were donned with paper cranes for the ceremony.

Our first "Belles" wedding! Emily (our floral partner) and Michael decided to send their Save the Dates as holiday cards - brilliant!

rose + frank

karen + tj

Karen and TJ got married in Millcreek Canyon, near Salt Lake City. They initially wanted a tattoo inspired design, but I went out on a limb by suggesting some ideas of my own. I thought this one really felt like them, and would communicate more of the vibe the wedding would be - they agreed!
