At the end of every year, I enjoy getting the opportunity to look back at all the memories we created. It reminds me of how fortunate I am to be a wedding photographer and how exhilarating it is to document such a special day for so many people. We want to thank all of our 2010 couples. We wish you the very best and look forward to seeing you in the new year.

When you have a wedding party that consists of 11 bridesmaids, 11 groomsmen, and 3 flower girls, you know you are in for one heck of a party. And a party it was…
The day began with the men getting ready at the Governor Hotel while the women did hair and make up at Robert’s of Portland. Everything was going along smoothly when all of a sudden, the men realized that they didn’t quite know how to tie a bow tie. The iPhones came out and everyone started searching YouTube. There are instructional videos for sure, but man we just couldn’t quite figure it out. Thank goodness for Collier’s right across the street. They helped all the guys get their bow ties on with plenty of time for the wedding.
The men and the women descended upon St Mary’s Cathedral for the wedding ceremony. With the assistance of Andrea who provided Ladies in Waiting Service and Marilyn and her staff with Portland Wedding Planner, Inc, everything was ready and set to go. Jordan with Blum Design in Flowers created incredible floral accents throughout. Heather with Hybrid Moon captured the entire ceremony on video while we captured stills from multiple locations throughout the church. The couple exited the church surrounded by guests who were waving lit sparklers in celebration. The couple rode off to the reception in the Best Car in Town’s 1947 Silver Wraith Rolls Royce Limousine.
The couple went straight into their first dance after being announced into the reception with music being played by Eric with All Wright Music. Naturally, the dance floor stayed jam packed all evening long. Table signs, seating cards, and cupcake flavor signs were all hand-written by the amazingly talented Alesia Zorn Calligraphy. Cupcake Jones provided the scrumptious cupcakes and Beaverton Bakery provided the wedding cake. Thank you to all the vendors who made the wedding day a smashing success and thank you to both Leah Nash and Evrim Icoz for providing additional photography coverage with me throughout the day.

Such a beautiful couple, and what appears to be an AMAZING good time! Your photography captures the magic perfectly! Great work!!
Beautiful couple and wonderful images Paul! It was such a pleasure to be a part of that very special day. 
Beautiful photos, Paul! Amazing job of capturing the spirit of the day! And what a day it was! Such a pleasure working with Angela and Ryan and their wonderful family!
Vivienne is growing up to be a pretty big girl these days. She has quickly learned that running is a heck of a lot more fun than walking and she goes at it full steam ahead. She throws her body forward and then waits for her feet to catch up. She absolutely loves to play games, loves to be swung in the air, and loves to be on mom or dad’s shoulders.
We met up at Cathedral Park for a fun family session outdoors. Vivienne led the way with running in all sorts of directions and finding the neatest of things to play with. A giant yellow leaf was the prize of the day. Here are a few of our favorites from Vivienne’s most recent photo session with her parents:

Cathedral Park is one of my favorite locations for family portraits. When John & Rhea contacted us I just knew it was the right location for them. John’s parents were visiting from Australia for the holiday and his sister and husband were in town from Colorado. With everyone together and of course the weather being unpredictable, I suggested Cathedral Park as it allows for some nice covered areas outdoors. In addition, nothing beats the ability to get up onto the St John’s bridge to wrap up the session. A special thanks to the Anderson family for playing along and being adventurous during the session!

Are you getting together with family for the holiday? Consider a holiday family portrait. Whether it is in your home or at a local park, holiday portraits are a wonderful way to celebrate being together. We have a limited number of spots available during the month of December so please contact us right away by emailing Paul at paul@paulrichstudio.com.
Here is a recent portrait session we documented on Thanksgiving Day.
