We’ve known Hallie for a few years now and we had met her guy Kyle a few times and always thought…”These two are good together. They should get married.” Well in March 2011, the ever romantic Kyle popped the question in beautiful San Francisco. Right away, Hallie didn’t hesitate to contact us about photos and of course we didn’t hesitate to jump at the opportunity to photograph their wedding.
Almost a year later, they tied the knot in a sweet and sentimental ceremony at Portland’s Abernethy Chapel. They got ready at the swanky Nines Hotel in downtown Portland, where many a celebrity and sports team are known to stay while visiting our city. It was the perfect backdrop for photographing Hallie, who was a knockout in a sweeping, sexy dress that fit her perfectly. Kyle was completely taken by her and couldn’t keep his eyes off her the entire day. (We love that.) After an emotional ceremony, full of tears and a little fist pumping, we had an amazing time photographing their reception where the celebration continued with hilarious toasts, some serious dancing and maybe even a backflip or two. We always knew Hallie and Kyle would be perfect in marriage and we are thrilled we were able to capture the beginning of it. Cheers you two.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for photographing our special day! We keep getting so many compliments on how amazing our photos are! You both were so awesome the whole day and super stealthy (Daniel I couldn't help but laugh when I saw you pop our from under the head table during our first dance but the photos turned out perfect from those angles!). Everyone had a great time and I keep recommending you guys to our newly engaged friends! Thank you so much for giving us photos we will love for a life time! :) (05.04.2012 06:45pm)

[...] People ask all the time if the walls are really that blue. The answer is…kind of. I underexposed the image to deepen the wall color and also to eliminate the ambient light. I also shot with a cooler white balance and gelled the flash on the couple to give them a warmer glow than the rest of the image. All in all the photo took about 2 minutes and couple had really no idea what went into it. You can view the rest of their photos on my blog. [...] (05.10.2012 05:06pm)
