{Real NW Wedding} Urban, Vintage and Oh So Chic :: Photographed by Soul Mates Photography :: Part I

When I was speaking to Melissa of Soul Mates Photography, during our little phone interview the other day, I was telling her of our concept and strategic plans for Luxe and how we wanted Luxe to just scream Portland.

The Luxe vision is simple we want everything we do to encompass a bespoke, urban-chic and somewhat contemporary and yet retro feel. So totally P-town in a nut shell. Tattoo’d brides and flea markets to roses and fur; Luxe and So this is Bliss dreams of becoming the NW’s favorite lil’ ole inspiration launch pad for today’s modern lil’ celebration planner. As I explained this to her she knew exactly the wedding I would love, and boy was she right. So right!

I am obsessed with this session I bring you today of Jodi & Gil’s nuptials. Their photo shoot, captured in the industrial neighborhoods of Southeast Portland, is inspiring and very very creative. Jodi and Gil are the all encompassing classic retro inspired couple.

Take a look at part 1.

First, just look at her fascinator she got from Esty.com. If anyone has seen my own wedding you'll know I love feathers. The red flower coupled with her crimson sultry lips flourish with passion. Very complimentary I might add.
Beautiful detail shot with the cherry umbrella. Using the city as a backdrop is a great idea and pulls out some of that Portland charm we love so much.


The best part about this industrial setting is that the contrast between fine couture style and grunge just doesn't make since which is exactly why it looks so breath taking together.

The backdrop of the old weathered garage door actually looks really great in the colored shot. Love the weathered metal, again the opposites here are what make this session so dang hot.


Yes! Yes! And Yes! I am in love...
Go ahead sit a spell...take another look. You know you want to. So urban-chic Melissa -we likey...and you knew we would. Remember seeing Jodi in the Secret Session offer Melissa shared with us the other day?
