Julie + Thanh's wedding

Julie and Thanh were married just over two weeks ago here in Portland. They held two ceremonies in one another's homes to start the day and then we headed over to Saint Stephen's Catholic Church in SE for a full mass ceremony. The night ended with a huge, gorgeous reception at the Governor Hotel in downtown.

The bride was so sweet! It was a pleasure getting to know her throughout the process of planning and then photographing her wedding. Not only was she warm and welcoming to us, but so was Thanh, as well as all of their friends and family. It always makes the day go smoothly and the photos have a more personal touch when we are welcomed into the celebration as guests.

The day was filled with lots of laughter and it was so apparent how in love these two were with one another. The day was made perfect by our good friend and talented makeup artist Nicole Wagner. We also had the privilege of working with one of the best videographer's in town: Travis Shield's of Shields Films

p.s. for all of our Portland people: yay for summer weather! finally!
