My company also hired a photographer for the event. She took formal pictures of people when they came in to the event (we received a nice 5x7 picture to take home) and then took candid shots throughout the night. Below are some of the pictures she took.
Actually, I think this picture is photoshopped :) But it does serve as a good representation of the evening.
Here are Brad and I at the roulette table. Also in this picture are our good friends Laura and David. Laura and I used to carpool to work together (when we both lived in downtown Portland). We also bought our houses at the same time and closed 1 day apart from each other, so we definitely helped each other with tips with the whole process. 
Here we are playing a little blackjack. Too bad they didn't have a poker table to play on...
This is a pic of my co-worker Scott and his wife Suzette. Scott is another good friend of mine at work and also a Business Analyst like me. Our cubes are right next to each other, so it's good to have someone to joke around with all day. He went to Michigan State for undergrad and Ohio State for his Masters in Accounting - so he's also a Big Ten guy! We're definitely a minority at the office...but at least I have someone on my side when we argue with our University of Oregon co-workers about who's going to win the Rose Bowl January 1, 2010.
Besides dinner, open bar, and a casino night, our company also hired this guy to provide us with entertainment. He performed Frank Sinatra covers...and sounded exactly like him!
And finally...the view from the Portland City Grill. Too bad it was night time...the view from up here is really gorgeous when it's sunny out and you can see Mt. Hood.

Em, is that a thread dress you're wearing??? : )
Ha! Yes! I finally found an excuse to wear it! It's been sitting in the closet for a few years...
It looks great on you! Saw Mike's sister over the holidays and she had the page from InStyle weddings a few years ago with those dresses - I was like "hey! I have that clipping!" haha. I think she is seriously considering those dresses for her wedding, which I wouldn't mind so much ; )
They are soo cute! I got a lot of compliments that night. I just remember them being somewhat expensive :( I hope you have to wear it to her wedding though...then we should coordinate and find an event we can both wear ours together ;)
