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.

For additional info on Packages and Pricing, References and Resources including 'Wedding Day Advice' and much more use these links or the nav links on our Home Page.

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 Kira and Allen's images click here.

Kira and Allen were married Saturday at one of Portland's Finest examples of turn of the century old world architecture, The First Presbyterian Church, at 12th and Taylor.  It is a grand edifice and was built in 1890 (at the present location).  The dark rich interior made for a wonderfully romantic and rich backdrop for Kira and Allen's wedding.  

While Patrice was shooting Kira's preps, the guys and I were racing tricycles in the courtyard.  I know, racing, . . . it's a guy thing.  The ceremony was presented by Prof. Lanny Hubbard of the Portland Bible College. After the ceremony we went to the Eastside Esplanade for more pictures and then on to the re-imagined, rebuilt and newly occupied Ambridge Events Center for the party!

The beautiful flowers ( couldn't tell that they were artificial until you got REAL close), were created by Julie (the MOB, mother of the bride).  The meal was catered by Ambridge Events Center catering staff.  The cake was provided by Beaverton Bakery and included a wedding cake and cupcakes. The party was MC / DJ'd by Kody the BOB (brother of the Bride)

Thanks guys for a wonderful day, even though it sprinkled a bit the rain is a blessing on a wedding day because the rain is what creates all this marvelous greenery we celebrate in the Northwest. SO, . . . congrats !!
