rebecca rizzo of rebecca rizzo photographics contacted me earlier this year about a styled shoot that the redd on salmon was putting on. the redd is one of the newer venues from ecotrust (they also have beautiful venues like the their rooftop terrace & the irving street studio, also new). the redd has been under construction for a while i think, at least their venue portion of it was. luke & i went to the redd a few years back for one of adam garcia’s talent shows with design week pdx.

this was such a fun shoot to be a part of! cindy lindsley of peach keen coordination organized this and asked me to be a part of this soft winters shoot. i love the autumn colors of the trees & landscape that snuck into the beautiful couples portraits below. this whole shoot definitely has a calm energy that you can feel around - i need more of that kind of energy.

what a cute couple, right? and just catch a bit of that sun - sheesh! this shoot is one for the books. i was lucky enough to write custom vows for this cute couple, natalie & dalton, for this styled elopement shoot. i loved using paper that had deckled edges for the vows, as it adds a more personal, handmade element into the mix. i styled their vows in my signature, loose calligraphy style and i think it pairs nicely with the whole shoot.
