Intimate Portland City Hall wedding with Katie & Naomi! 12.22.15

I loved photographing the wintery Portland City Hall wedding of Katie & Naomi! I’ve known Katie since I was maybe 13 years old — we met through friends when I was in middle school. We went to different schools but we spent a lot of time hanging out and even worked at the sameĀ farm in Cape Elizabeth picking strawberries one summer (which I still maintain was the best job of my life — I only worked for 4-hour shifts and I got to eat strawberries the whole time!). I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her and Naomi’s intimate Portland City Hall wedding. They had a quick ceremony with just close family and friends and then went to TheĀ Press Hotel across the street for cocktails and food. City Hall is gorgeous at all times of year, but it was especially so with the giant Christmas tree out front and twinkling lights all around!
