Everyone was thrilled for Diane and Terry when they tied the knot at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom. Family and friends applauded, hugged, laughed, and danced away the night. Despite his three girls, and her three boys, the Brady Bunch jokes abounded!

The Art of Joy * Pam & Matt’s Wedding Celebration

Much to Pam and Matt’s delight, the perfect summer day came on their October wedding day. The ceremony had some fabulous personal touches: their dogs, Molly and Schroeder, serving as ring bearers, and a friend of the couple sang one of the most charming songs I’ve ever heard at a wedding. After they two exhanged vows, rings, and the goblet was broken, they treated family and friends to appetizers and cocktails on the patio, followed by a lush dinner, and some spirited dancing. When it was our time to leave, the party was still going full steam!

We had the opportunity to work with some fabulous people! Big Ups to The Waverley Country Club for the fabulous setting, service, and dinner and to Geranium Lakes Flowers for the gorgeous bocquets and table arrangements!

Congratulations Pam and Matt! You’re slide show will be ready soon and your images will be done on or before November 2nd!

Jodie & Rafe Tied the Knot * The Art of Joy in Downtown Portland, Oregon

Jodie and Rafe were married at the Windows Restaurant atop the Red Lion at the Convention Center in downtown Portland. The view of the city was spectacular, but all eyes were on the bride and groom, who were overjoyed to start their life together. One often wonders what suprises will pop up at an event like this – Jodi and Rafe had a first not only for themselves, but for their photographers as well. After our portrait session at the Convention Center, a barbershop quartet (well, a collection of them, actually) offered the newlyweds their a’capella congratulations! How fun was that?

Historic and modern Portland complimented each other perfectly when Megan and Jeff were married in an intimate ceremony at the Oaks Pioneer Chapel, then partied the night away with family and friends at the Jupiter Hotel. Take a look at the revelry and love that was their wedding!

The applause of family and friends actually drowned out the crash of the waves when Brena and Paul sealed their ceremony with a kiss and headed up the sandy aisle. It was a wonderful day of their personal stories, dancing into the reception at the Surfsand Resort, family songs at the toast, and even a little air guitar on the dance floor! Congratulations Brena & Paul, and thanks for letting us share your day!

Sneak Peek – Brena & Paul’s Cannon Beach Wedding

One of my favorite moments at Brena and Paul’s wedding was when the guests were asked to recite vows for the couple as well. Another was the fact that they were married in on Cannon Beach. Another was their obvious joy at the recessional. There are actually A LOT of others…

We’ll have more of Brena and Paul’s celebration coming soon on The Shutter Monkey.
