With a name like Chill Chill Chill, you just know the vibe is going to be relaxed and happy, and our Portland wedding photographers loved spending the day there with Elizabeth and Reginald. This cozy neighborhood spot sits on North Lombard Street in North Portland. It feels local, friendly and full of personality, which is exactly what so many Portland couples are looking for.

During the day, Chill Chill Chill works as a laid back cafe with specialty coffee and pastries. Later on, it turns into a lively evening spot with cocktails and good music. The space even hosts vinyl nights, where records spin everything from funk and soul to R&B. That easygoing mix of coffee house charm and evening fun makes it a unique setting for a celebration.

Couples who choose a place like this usually want their day to feel personal, not stiff. There is no giant ballroom here, and that is part of the appeal. Guests can mingle, grab a drink and settle into a warm, welcoming room. It is a very Portland way to celebrate, with great drinks, great music and people who truly love each other all in one place.

Elizabeth and Reginald’s Story

Elizabeth and Reginald actually met at work. They got together when the pandemic hit and their office shut down. They call it a covid romance, and it was full of time hanging out in the backyard, going on hikes and runs, playing with dogs and eating at all the food carts. Life was a little quiet back then, but it helped them get to know each other on a really deep level.

For their wedding, they wanted to keep things casual, with garden vibes and lots of flowers. Their colors were mostly pinks, greens and whites. It is a soft, natural palette that feels fresh and happy. Their photos were edited in our Rustic style, which adds warm, earthy tones and a cozy glow to every frame. It fits a relaxed, flower filled celebration so well.

Smaller, city weddings are such a joy to capture. Everyone is close together, so the hugs and laughs happen right in front of us. As your wedding photographer team, we keep an eye out for real moments, like a friend leaning in to share a story or a quiet look between the couple. We also love the little details, like the flowers and the cups and glasses on the bar. Our wedding videography team can save the music and toasts too.

Our team is based in Portland, and we photograph weddings across the entire state of Oregon. City cafes, wineries, farms and the coast all keep us busy. If you have questions about your own day, reach out to our team anytime. You can also scroll through our blog for more Oregon weddings and fresh ideas.

Portland Wedding Photographers at Chill Chill Chill

Original Weddings is a team of Portland wedding photographers who love capturing laid back, joyful days all over Oregon. Portland is our home base, and we regularly photograph weddings in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Salem and out in the Willamette Valley. We also cross the river to Vancouver and travel to the coast and the Columbia River Gorge whenever couples need us. Weddings right here in the city hold a special place in our hearts. They feel personal and full of local flavor. Spending the day with Elizabeth and Reginald at Chill Chill Chill was such a fun reminder of why we love what we do.

Our photographers are comfortable in small, cozy spaces as well as wide open venues. We know how to use window light, warm indoor lighting and a little extra light of our own when the sun goes down. Original Weddings keeps every wedding day relaxed and easy. We offer gentle prompts, then step back and let couples enjoy their friends and family. That leads to honest photos that feel just like the day did. We also make sure to capture the people who mean the most, from best friends to grandparents. Those are often the images families treasure the most.

Portland Wedding Videographers at Chill Chill Chill

Original Weddings also has a team of Portland wedding videographers who love capturing sound, motion and feeling. Our filmmakers are based in Portland and travel throughout Oregon, from Beaverton and Salem to the coast, the Gorge and wine country. Filming a cozy city celebration like this one is always special, because every laugh and cheer feels so close and real. We love how much warmth a small room brings to a film.

A wedding film keeps the parts of a day that a photo cannot fully hold. It saves the voices, the music, the toasts and the happy noise of a room full of loved ones. Our videographers work quietly in the background, so couples can relax and stay present. We record clear audio during vows and speeches. Afterward, we edit everything into a personal film with music that fits the mood of the day. Original Weddings wants every couple to press play and feel that same love again and again.
