I am happy to be able to post the long-awaited photos from Melissa & Mark’s vintage themed wedding!
Melissa + Mark = A romantic love of the ages
Melissa and Mark are two of the sweetest people I have ever met. Their wedding was beautiful and a perfect reflection of their love for one another. Every last detail was thought out, planned, and executed with grace.
Melissa’s hair was done at The Parlour in St. Johns, OR. A very trendy shabby/chic/funky spot that also doubles as a tattoo parlour. There are fun paintings and decor all over, as well as a retro flare!
Their ceremony and reception was held at beautiful the North Star Ballroom in Portland, OR. The location was perfect for them!!
I shot their engagement photos earlier this year, and looked forward to their wedding ever since! Melissa has got to be the most organized bride, and truly a joy to work with- sooo photogenic also!. Mark was relaxed, confident, and just plain happy on their wedding day. I can tell they were both ecstatic to be married, and start their life together as husband and wife. I wish you both the best, and I hope you enjoy your photos!
Also- A big thanks to my dear friend Elena!! She was my second shooter and saving grace for this wedding 
I’m glad that she was able to help me, and capture some stellar shots!!!
Getting ready for the big day….
Mark got her this beautiful bracelet as her wedding gift. It’s so beautiful, she just loved it!!!
And for Mark, Melissa got him this awesome pocket-watch! How fitting

Details….
It was sooo cute, they had old wedding photos of all of their family set up on this dresser for everyone to see It was a great addition to their decor! They also made shrinky-dink drink tags for every guest’s glass, customized candy buttons for each guest, and the most adorable guest book I have ever seen!
The little boys’ and their outfits were to die for!!!
Melissa and Mark each have one daughter. They are both so beautiful!
and who needs cake, when you can have decadent cream puffs, drizzled with yummy blueberries!!
Some of my favorite moments from the ceremony…
They are really just too cute for words!!! Melissa and her mom totally made this photo wall for guests to pose behind for their guest book photos! Talk about original/AMAZING!!! We had so much fun! They also brought in a bunch of fun props for people to pose with
