The Victorian Belle Mansion in Portland, Oregon provided the perfect setting for this darkly romantic affair. The black and red color palette set the tone perfectly, with every detail carefully curated to evoke a sense of gothic elegance and sophistication. The bride, dressed in a stunning black gown that billowed around her like the petals of a dark rose, exuded a sense of timeless beauty and grace. Her groom, equally dashing in his tailored suit.

I was struck by the way the dark and moody atmosphere of the mansion perfectly complemented the couple's love for each other. Every shot I took seemed to capture a moment of quiet intensity, a glimpse into a world where passion and elegance danced hand in hand.
