I am so blessed to have been chosen to witness so many unique love stories in my lifetime. It has not only been a dream of mine to be to a photographer but to also be able to take care of myself and my family doing what I love. I cannot thank my clients and fans enough for supporting my small business dream. If it were not for love, I would not be here today – I am thankful for your love. Thank you to all the couples who shared their experiences on The Knot, it is a true honor to make The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame! #theknotbestofweddings #theknotbestofweddings2023 #theknotbestofweddingshalloffame #theknothalloffame #simplejoiephoto #portlandweddingphotographer #pdxweddingphotographer #oregonweddingphotographer #pnwweddingphotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #seattleweddingphotographer #lifeofaweddingphotographer (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnn9q9jLpgT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I usually wear a simple set of flats to every wedding I shoot but they don’t have the best support in the world and have found myself sore after a long day of shooting. I started wearing a pair of black tennis shoes but I feel like it’s not the professionally looking thing to show up to a wedding wearing especially when I’m trying to pull off a cute dress. So I fight with myself on comfort vs beauty all the time and wish fall would come sooner every year so that I can just pull out leggings and booties (the only middle that is semi professional and cute). Oh my I just feel for brides all the time!!! They have to parade around in these cute shoes all day even though their feet are hurting... Pro Tip: Invest in a pair of cute comfy shoes for your big day as well as your wedding shoes (so you can trade in and out when needed - also great for walking the distance to get a photo at the edge of the property as the sun is setting). #weddingshoes #bridetobe #simplejoiephoto #sanfranciscophotographer #pdxweddingphotographer #simpleweddingdetails #weddingflatlay #weddingflatlayinspo #bridalshoes #littleprettythings #laceweddingshoes #jimmychooshoes #loveissimple #pdxweddingphotographer #pdxweddingplanner #herdetails #thebridestory #pnwweddingphotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #pinkweddings (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDea15vgqs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m no good with baby photos, I think it’s the posing and wrapping of the little one that I’m still trying to get use to because babies are so fragile. BUT I love capturing moments like this one with mommy and daddy! Can’t wait to do more in home sessions going into the year! I know it’s not easy with covid right now to get into a studio so let me come to you!

“You know how the bride makes her entrance and everybody turns to look at her? That’s when I look at the groom. Cause his face says it all you know? The pure love there...” - 27 Dresses I love this moment whether it was down the isle that he saw her for the first time or if they had a first look! His reaction is the most beautiful thing! We don’t dress up often but when we do and he sees me for the first time, I love my husbands reaction too! It’s always “I’m so blessed that this is my wife” - I’m such a sucker for love and that’s why I’ve been in this industry for as long as I have! #pdxweddingphotographer #simplejoiephoto #loveissimple #hisreaction #shesaidyes #loveislove #howtheyasked #theknotpro #weddingwire #bayareaweddingphotographer #weddingphotoinspiration #authenticlove #whenhesmiles #asianmenaresexy #chinesegirl #happylunarnewyear #groominspiration #callalilyboutonniere #poptheknot #asianmenstyle (at Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLNWN_UD7yG/?igshid=1shhpoe7oqdk0

It’s hard to not want to share your excitement and love with loved ones but now that my couples are thinking more and more about the safety and well being of their family and friends - postponing their wedding was the best decision they made this year! Now if a big wedding was never in the plans, elopements and micro weddings are just as special if you say that they are and you make it special for you two! Can’t wait for many more minimonies and elopements coming up next year!

Pro tip: A good makeup artist does half the job! You don’t take professional photos everyday... but when you do, invest in a makeup artist! Trust me, you’ll feel more confident and it’ll show through your photos! #hireamakeupartist #seniorpictures #seniorphotography #pdxseniorphotographer #simplejoiephoto #portraitphotography #portlandportraitphotographer #mua (at Simple Joie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkc1tThuwJ/?igshid=1pd7q1t6hvvbj
