Portland Oregon Waterfront Wedding // Maria & James // Kimpton Riverplace Hotel

Yesterday I shared an amazing wedding with a petting zoo on a sweet little farm, now to the second wedding I shot that weekend. Absolutely full of caffeine and too many hours in the car listening to 90s pop music to get myself amped and ready I arrived at the Kimpton Riverplace Hotel. This was a first for me, I had to valet my car which was embarrassingly packed with snacks, back up gear, shoes allll over the place and SO much dirt from the day before. But it was all worth it, this wedding was a perfect mixture of stunning, classy and somehow pretty relaxed! I credit all of that to Maria and Jimmy, they were just so happy, so in love and thrilled to be getting married! We dodged those funny rental scooters all over the waterfront, adventured up to Council Crest and just had the best time before they walked one another down the aisle. I love to see the ways that couples are able to change a wedding ceremony to reflect exactly what they believe. This wedding was just the perfect mixture of beautiful, classic and damn fun, I want to do it alllll over again!

Also, check out that glowing pregnant angel in the photos below, she’s a close friend of mine who went on to have a 10lb 4oz giant baby boy!! You’ll be seeing photos of him later as I work my way through the backlog!
