Christina and Kyle are one of the cutest and craftiest couples I’ve ever seen! Not only were they both heavily involved in planning their charming Portland, Oregon wedding, Christina even took a metalsmithing class so she could make Kyle’s wedding band as well as the bridesmaid’s earrings AND she made her bouquet using vintage flower brooches she collected for months. After their ceremony a fleet of pedicabs picked up the entire wedding party to transport them 7 blocks to where the reception was held. Brenton Salo was on hand to capture all the memories of their big day!

I few months ago the ladies of Martha Stewart Weddings gave me a wonderful opportunity! They asked that I help coordinate and produce a photo shoot for their blog based on their Fall 2010 issue. Of course I said YES, who says no to Martha?! Our office started putting together a dream team of designers and vendors and the end result was an amazing Hollywood Regency inspired shoot using a metallic color palette. You can check out the Special Metallic Series: “California Luxe” feature on the Martha Weddings blog, and for your viewing pleasure I included some of the stunning images below. Thanks to all the amazing talent that helped make this happen!
