Spring Bridal Editorial Shoot with Spotted Stills Photogrpahy- Portland, Oregon

Spring is here and I am eager to design with all the fabulous spring flowers and blooming branches that this season has to offer.

Blooming branches create a beautiful backdrop for the couple or any photo session {be it maternity, bridal, family or other}

Bridal bouquet included some of my favorite spring blooms {most of them are locally grown right here in Oregon}. Ranunculus, freesia, pieris, vibernum, spray roses, heirloom carnations, eriostomen, plumosa and a hint of silver dollar eucalyptus.

A beautiful floral accent piece for the hair completed the look.

Mary and Alejo Oregon Wine Country Wedding

I am finally getting around to blogging this gorgeous wedding captured by Kari Renee Photography.

Mary and Alejo got married at the beautiful Methven Family Vineyard in the Oregon Wine Country. There is something about working out in the wine country that I really enjoy. The rolling hills and the casual relaxing atmosphere is everything.

Mary's wedding flowers featured mostly locally grown blooms including dahlia, scabiosa, nigella, lady mantle, seeded eucalyptus, mini green hydrangea, lisianthus, succulents, dusty miller, roses and larkspur.

Venue: Methven Family Vineyards

Beth + Erik - Open Door Baptist Church Troutdale, Oregon

Beth and Erik got married the week of Valentine's Day 2014, its hard to believe but we had a small snow storm that week. This late in the winter, its pretty unusual for the Portland metro area. 

With snow on the ground and all, I was still able to capture Beth's love for bold beautiful colors. I had full creative freedom to design the flowers as long as they included a bright color palette. 

Beth's bouquet consisted of some of my favorite blooms. Garden roses, lisianthus, stock, wax flower, queen annes lace, parrot tulips, berzelia, cymbidium orchids, ranunculus and maidenhair fern.  I was very happy to be able to design with all seasonal flowers, locally sourced and 100% American Grown.
