Portland Wedding Photographer - The Shutter Monkey - AJ's Studio Blog

Thank You Amy!!!

Time for bragging rights! Wonderful Amy Nuttman, owner of Blush Bridal Consultation Group, was thoughtful enough to write a wonderful blog entry about studio.

We have worked with Amy and the ladies from Blush serveral times over the last few years, and have had a fantastic experience each time. The day runs like clock work and we never have less that a 200 moments of laughter between the bride, Amy, the stellar group of vendors that come together for the day.

Thank you so much, Amy! And give the Punky Bear a big squeeze for me!

Jodi & Ron * The Art of Joy at McMeniman’s Edgefield

The Administrator’s House was the setting at McMeniman’s Edgefield for Jodi and Ron to tie the knot. This was one of the most personalized weddings I’ve seen in a long time, from Jodi’s pink Jack Purcells, (embroidered with their wedding date) to personalized favors for each separate table. It was a day of lots of laughs, and lots of love.

Michelle & Alex * The Art of Joy at The Portland Art Museum

When family and friends arrived at Michelle and Alex’s wedding, they were greeting with a glass of wine, and seated among the sculptures at the Portland Art Museum’s Sculpture Garden. One of the few venues where you can be married in an outdoor urban setting, it totally fit the bill for this wedding celebration. I knew the night was going to be something special when the wedding party – from the flower girls to the bride’s father and step father – danced up the aisle to The Black Eyed Peas.

Erin & Dom Get Married at the Aerie * The Art of Joy

Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much

I have always loved this saying, and was delighted to see it as the theme of Erin and Dom’s wedding. These words were displayed throughout this day, from their invitation, to bridesmaid’s necklaces (a gift from Erin), to the bracelet that adorned Erin’s bouquet (Dom’s first gift to her), to the programs. More importantly, it was truly the spirit of the day that resonated through the Aerie at Eagle Landing.

Erin and Dom, thanks for your patience in waiting for your blog post! You two are the best!

A few of the our wonderful vendor friends who contributed to the fabulosity (not sure if that’s a word, but is sure describes it!) of Erin and Dom’s wedding:

Deb & Mathew are Married! * The Art of Joy

amy — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 01:19:28 +0000

Deb was as radiant as any bride I’ve ever seen. And why shouldn’t she be: she was marrying the love of her life, in the very place they met, on the holiday weekend she had always imagined she’d be married (July 4th), and would make their getaway in her beloved vintage Mustang convertible. Family and friends gathered at Sunset Presbyterian Church to wittnes the nuptials and celebrate with a picnic lunch, cake and ice cream. It was a fabulous day!
