Horning’s Hideout Wedding | Portland, Oregon | Mary + Peter

April 2, 2018

Peter and Mary are one of those couples that is absolutely full of love and laughter.

We met in a sweet little coffee shop and bakery in South West Portland to chat about their wedding day and I knew instantly these were my kind of people.

When I arrived at their home to photograph Mary and her bridesmaids everyone was wearing the cutest floral robes, telling stories, drinking champagne, helping each other with makeup & gathering all that was necessary for Peter and Mary’s big day.

Peter and Mary chose Horning’s Hideout as their venue; a beautiful outdoor location down a private dirt road with a creek, rolling green hills, a gorgeous lily pond, and a perfect little camping nook. Their wedding was very low stress and high on good vibes. Laughter was abundant, drinks flowed freely, and lawn games were enjoyed by all ages.

Their good friends surprised Peter and Mary with an enviably rad vintage green wedding tent filled with rose petals, Pendleton blankets, and an adorable hand-drawn sign for the Mr. & Mrs. It. Was. Magical.

The end of the night continued with live music from their friends, The Dip, and an absolutely packed dance floor.

Taylor and Drew were married in an intimate ceremony at the Salmonberry Inn in Lincoln City, Oregon—surrounded by their closest loved ones and the quiet rhythm of the coast.

Everything about their day felt calm, meaningful, and true to who they are. A little barefoot beach time, a sweet exchange of vows under the trees, a cozy indoor lounge moment—it was all so effortlessly beautiful.

The Salmonberry Inn made the perfect backdrop for a day full of love and simplicity. Taylor and Drew, thank you for inviting me into your story. I’m honored to have witnessed it.

From behind the lens to inside the gallery—what an honor to document Mandy Arroyo and her latest show, Tender, now on view at Elle Gallery in Portland through August 24th.

This is our third time working together, and it’s been such a joy to witness her evolution—from designer to full-time painter, and now to exhibiting artist. Mandy paints vibrant local landscapes using acrylics and oil pastels—her work is joyful, vibrant, and full of wonder.

If you’re local, go see it in person. You’ll leave inspired.

Mandy, thank you for trusting me to help share your story. It’s always a gift.

Tippy & Nate’s Timberline Lodge wedding was the kind of day that leaves a lasting imprint.

The weather? Absolute perfection. The timeline? Ahead of schedule all day. The energy? Calm, grounded, and full of love.

These two are kind, generous souls—and that energy radiated through every moment and every guest. Their family portraits were smooth, the ceremony heartfelt, and the toasts… so full of laughter and love, you couldn’t help but tear up.

One of the most unforgettable parts of the day? Nate joined the jazz band on the drums during dinner and absolutely crushed it. The whole room lit up.

As the sun dipped low, we snuck away for sunset portraits on the mountain. The wildflowers were in bloom, the sky turned cotton candy pink, and the whole world felt soft and golden.

And to top it all off, Tippy and Nate personally thanked every single vendor by name during dinner—something so rare and deeply meaningful. It reminded us why we do this work.

Congratulations, Tippy & Nate. Thank you for including us in such a heartfelt, magical day.

Through My Eyes: Rome

When I travel, I’m drawn to light, texture, and emotion. I chase quiet beauty over trends—moments that feel timeless.

The first time I visited Rome, I went alone. I had been living in Berlin during a cold, gray spring and needed warmth—sun on my skin and the hum of ancient history beneath my feet. I found all of it here.

What struck me most was the way this city holds contradiction so gracefully: man-made wonders beside the soft persistence of nature, crumbling marble next to fresh blooms, solitude held by golden light. I felt both lonely and not at all. The beauty of the place kept me company, my camera always in hand.

If I could do it all over again, I might have chosen Rome for my wedding. A place full of life, soul, and romance—perfect for celebrating love surrounded by your favorite people and stories etched in stone.

Yesterday felt like a dream. Tippy and Nate’s wedding at Timberline Lodge was one of the most peaceful, joy-filled, and magically timed days I’ve ever had the honor of documenting.

The moment we walked into the getting-ready suite, there were friends napping, someone softly strumming an acoustic guitar, and steamy excerpts being read from a romance novel—pure calm and intention.

The day flowed effortlessly. Family portraits were ahead of schedule, the light was stunning, and every moment felt filled with warmth.

During dinner, Nate casually joined the jazz band on drums (as one does), and then we wandered onto the mountain for the most incredible golden hour portraits. It was slow, cinematic, and absolutely perfect.

Tippy & Nate, thank you for including us in your beautiful wedding at Timberline Lodge. 💕

A few early favorites from Erica & Brian’s wedding day — a celebration full of color, connection, and so much joy.

They got ready at The Jupiter NEXT (that lobby light is a dream), said their vows in front of the wine barrels at Coopers Hall, and hosted the most heartfelt dinner surrounded by flowers, candlelight, and all their favorite people.

One of the most meaningful touches? Each place setting included a handwritten letter to that guest — a tear-filled and unforgettable way to make everyone feel seen and celebrated.

As the day softened into golden hour, the two of them snuck away for a moment alone — just enough time to soak it all in and make a few dreamy portraits in the glow of the late afternoon light.

I’ve been slowly making my way through the archives and feeling deep gratitude for all the places photography has taken me. These images were created in 2013 on Polaroid peel-apart film while I was on set with The Film Show. I still remember the light, the quiet, the way it felt to create something just for the sake of art. The brilliant styling here is by Tia Reagan.

Film photography has been woven into my life and work since the very beginning. It’s not a trend or a phase—it’s part of my creative foundation. Whether I’m shooting weddings, portraits, or fashion, film keeps me grounded in intention and process.

The first time I visited the Pantheon in Rome it was on accident. I stumbled across a colossal building while wandering the alleys and piazzas and figured I should check it out.

There was no line, no tickets, no crowd. The entire experience felt a little surreal.

Ten years later I visit again and now you need tickets to get inside. The sea of people out front is dense with tour guides and panhandling. A little of that magic stolen away.

So the trick is, for the exterior anyway, to visit at dawn. Catch this beauty before the crowds wake up, while the sun stretches over the rooftops to light up the solid marble pillars in golden light.

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, or honeymoon in Rome, Italy I’d be honored to be your guide and photographer. I can bring you to all the best views and historic locations and know of an excellent private tour guide who can share the history of these beautiful places.
