Welcome to the Aaronstadt Blog

Welcome to the Recent Wedding Page. Here you can see a sampling of ~ 30 images from each of our recent weddings.

Weddings are posted in the order in which we shot them. Alternately you can locate a wedding in the list of 'Recent Weddings' on the right side of this window, click on the link and you will be taken to the sample images from that event.

If you are here shopping for a Photographer, we may have a sample of a wedding shot at your venue. Scroll trough the 'Recent Weddings' (right side of the window, in blue). Events are listed by the couples name, the venue, the date.

If you are considering using Aaronstadt for your wedding photography we really appreciate that! We have been telling wedding day stories, with images, for many years and could not think of a better way to spend an afternoon, evening, weekend or whatever it takes to make those memories come alive again and again for you.

To see more of Gina and Faryar's  images click HERE

Gina in a fairytale gorgeous dress and Faryar in patent leather two tone-wingtips, great accents and comments on a creative, fun, frivolous, lovey day.  They were married at Lakeside Gardens in the patio gazebo with friends and family watching the ceremony which was performed by BJ Anderson. of Anytime Anywhere Weddings.

We started the day with the first look in the small lakeside gazebo, (the 'back' lakeside) and then strolled the gardens and the island creating some great images.

The flowers and lanterns were dreamed up and provided by Gina and Faryar themselves. The caterer was Lakeside Gardens.  The Dj was quite the talented dancer (think 'Hammer Time') and was a friend of the Bride and Groom.  The cake was created by Larson's Bakery.  It had one of the most obscure quotes incorporated into the design that I have ever experienced, . . .  still don't understand, suppose I never will, . . . look at the images for more on THAT.  

This was a wonderful celebration and we're glad that we got to be there.

Theresa and Elizabeth were married on Saturday at Leach Botanical Gardens.  LBC is a wonderful place for this or any celebration, surrounded by nature and the lush forest of S.E. Portland.   With a nice gathering of family and friends they exchanged vows, rings kisses and sand, ate a wonderful meal enjoyed the atmosphere and loved the night away.

The bouquets were created by Kern Park Floral.  The Officiant / MC / Directors of all things Bridal were Paula Lewis and her partner Trish from Affordable Elegance.  The delicious meal was catered by Nicolette's Catering.

This was a wonderful day for Theresa and Elizabeth and for us!  We had the opportunity to document a love story, and to go for a walk in one of Portland's very best gardens. 


Courtney and Danny, Bridal Veil, August 24, 2012



To view more of Courtney and Danny's images click HERE

Courtney and Danny were married at one of the Columbia Gorge's hidden wonderlands, Bridal Veil Lakes.  Surrounded by beauty and landscaped grounds, with a wilderness motif, Courtney and Danny 
stood before an arbor overlooking Bridal Veil Lake and as the sun was setting they recited their vows before family and friends.  What an incredible setting for a wedding. Granted it's a bit of a drive and it's easy to take a wrong turn going up the mountain if you do not pay close attention to the signs but, it's worth the effort!

The flowers were provided by Wendy at Clark County Floral.  The Officiant was Mike, a friend of the Bride and Groom.  He did a wonderful Ceremony.  The dj/mc for the ceremony and reception was Tauren Blackman of On Track Entertainment. He provided excellent direction for the party!  The cake was created by the Helen Bernhard Bakery.   We shared the experience with James from DreamCapture Media who provided video services.

That was quite a party guys, you rock, and apparently fly!
