Switching things up this time for an engagement cocktail dinner at the gorgeous Sokol Winery in Oregon. The view was breath taking, the service was friendly, the guests were mingling, the food was exceptional and the couple was beyond beautiful. I walked in and immediately felt a burst of over-whelming sense of love and happiness in one place. The monochromatic rustic colors along with the unconventional structures of the building with wall-to-ceiling windows of rustic wood paneling made my eyes sing! I spent an amazing evening with great people. I am fortunate to document these memorable images, I wish them an incredible journey and eager for new milestones to come! sokol winery, wokol winery oregon, oregon winery, portland winery, winery reception, oregon winery event, oregon sokol, sokol wine, portland oregon, portland winery reception, portland reception, portland oregon wine, portland bride, portland wedding reception at winery, sokol, portland oregon wedding photographer, portland oregon wedding reception, oregon bride, oregon wedding celeberation event, oregon cocktail winery, oregon cocktail reception, oregon photographer, portland oregon photography, portland wedding photographer, happy valley oregon, happy valley oregon photographer, clackamas oregon wedding photographer, clackamas oregon photographer, clackamas oregon reception, reception and cocktail hour, portland oregon documentary photographer, portland oregon lifestyle photographer, oregon lifestyle natural lighting photography.

In the 11 years that I've been a professional photographer, I've managed to capture more than handfuls of weddings. I started as a make-up and hair person, worked my way into the glamour and fashion industry then getting published by international magazines such as FHM. There is not one category of photography that I haven't mastered but there is one true element to my style, and that is being a documentarian. I like to shoot with a cinematic vision which adds drama & dimension to the images. This time, we have a Vietnamese wedding which involves a traditional tea ceremony with family members and friends in being a part in the celebration. The giving of dowry includes different foods and goodies representative of the prosperous life which the bride will be married into. It literally takes a "village" to help carry to and from. The gestures reflect the stability of the groom and his men. After all, it is a rather grand event sending two lovers into a harmonious marriage. The newlywed couple is to pour and serve tea to the elders and relatives from both sides of the family as a sign of paying their respects. In return, they receive blessings that accompany with money envelopes and jewelry. It is a rather long day full of different outfit changes and events but it's also full of moments to be remembered. The reception begins with a scrumptious 10 course meal and followed by what seems to be-the best party ever! oregon wedding, oregon wedding photographer, oregon vietnamese wedding, oregon documentary photographer, oregon asian celebration event photography, oregon event photographer, oregon wedding planning event, portland vietnamese wedding photographer, portland asian ceremony event photography, portland asian ceremony wedding, portland tea ceremony wedding, traditional asian wedding in oregon, oregon asian event photographer, portland metro documentary style photography, oregon documentary lifestyle photographer, portland wedding photographer, happy valley oregon wedding photographer, happy valley oregon event photography, happy valley oregon vietnamese decor photographer, portland decor event planning, clackamas oregon event photographer, clackamas oregon vietnamese wedding photographer, clackamas oregon asian wedding event photographer, wedding in h.k. cafe portland, h.k. cafe wedding event, pdx wedding photographer, pdx documentary style wedding photography, pdx asian bride, pdx bridal photo shoot, portland wedding photo shoot, portland bride photo session, portland wedding photo shoot, oregon bride wedding photo shoot, oregon wedding photo session, mt. tabor photo shoot, mt. tabor wedding photo shoot, portland tea ceremony, clackamas oregon photographer studio, clackamas oregon event decor photography, happy valley family photographer, happy valley wedding photographer, sunnymelon photography, sunnymelon. .
