Remember the lovely and adorable Katie & Charlotte? Well last Friday they got all dolled up and made it official!
It was my pleasure and an honor to capture their expression of love & some images of the big day. It was COLD one for sure, but we did not mind at all. The love between these two warmed us all up, and we had a great time running around downtown Portland getting some great images! Special thanks to the wonderful Maricar for being my right hand woman for the day. Waddling around downtown Portland at 7 months prego would not have been possible with out her!
Charlotte & Katie got ready at the amazing & elegant Hotel de Luxe in NW Portland, we shot downtown, and then did some photos at the ceremony site of the stunning Armory & Gerding Theatre. These two are absolutely wonderful to work with, and just spend time in general. When the couple is this beautiful, and the settings are this amazing, smiles all around!
So on to the photos!
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
Katie make these amazing felt bouquets! I wanted to steal one and take it home they are so cute!
Charlott’s stunning dress, and even more beautiful smile.
And check out Katie getting all pampered and looking amazing. Hair & make up was done by the lovely Ashley. (Girl you need a website so I can link to you!) Ashley was a champ working on her Birthday right!
I also loved Charlotte & Katie’s rings, both complimentary and different.
And here are our beautiful brides. Not the typical first photo together, but when you walk out side to some crazy firetrucks in front of the hotel you have to use it! Quite an exciting start to the evening!
Our beautiful couple. I loved the coats that complimented their wedding colors. Perfect for the crazy cold day!
we also had some fun with their awesome vintage styling.
ahhh love. 🙂
Did I mention the rad bouquets yet? Seriously I LOVED them.
we also played with the cityscape, you have to love downtown at the holidays. Beautiful light everywhere!
these two were SO happy & in love. Really it was a pleasure to spend time with them on their special day.
Again Charlotte’s smile is just beautiful! I caught here here checking out her beautiful bride on the street car.
Once we got out of the cold & into the warmth of the beautiful theatre we got a chance to do some more around the venue. Such an amazing space!
So beautiful, so in love, it is almost unfair how lovely these two ladies are.
we also giggled, a lot.
The staff of the Armory were wonderful to work with. They let us go up to the very top floor of the building even to take advantage of the stunning architecture!
seriously, the place is amazing!
the ceremony was elegant, beautiful, short & sweet. Perfect for these two.
the place was beautifully decorated, from the cupcake display…
to the table & bar details. It was all just beautiful.
the reception was very intimate and chill. Again perfect for our couple.
Charlotte & Katie thank you again for having me out to capture your amazing day. I had a wonderful time with the two of you. I wish you both nothing but the best! I will have the whole gallery for you very soon, lots of love to you both! Friends & family reading this, please do leave a comment if you would like the gallery log in-information when the whole set is ready for viewing.

These are really really gorgeous, down to every last detail. Congratulations to Katie & Charlotte; looks like a perfect celebration!
Emily~ We are two very happy girls looking at our photos, They are simply brilliant.
The bouquets, they can be found as a DIY kit (how I made ours) or custom style by the more talented then me, Megan at http://www.princesslasertron.com. It was one of my favorite projects for the wedding.
Wow – what great photos and what a beautiful couple. Great job Emily 🙂
Lovely!
So, so, sooooooooooo good.
Fantastic Shots! You really capture their emotions well, and frame them with the city so wonderfully!
Emily- you did a marvelous job! All the pictures are fabulous. Katie & Charlotte- everything looks so beautiful, especially you two!
[…] Katie and Charlotte ordered their own felt flower kits to create the bouquets for their commitment ceremony last December. They are the perfect example of what I envisioned when I decided to start selling the kits–taking inspiration from the materials and creating something that perfectly suits you as a bride.
