It's such a treat to work with clients like David and Sandy. They told me in no uncertain terms that they wanted to do whatever I needed to get great photos from their wedding, and they weren't exaggerating. All day long, whether I was suggesting we hike over here, climb that thing over there, escape for the sunset, or gather by the fire to make s'mores, they were game for it all. And we have so many beautiful photos to show for it! Add to that their lovely and easygoing family and friends, the beautiful scenery at the farm, and the gorgeous weather, and I have to say, this wedding is quickly becoming one of my favorites...
When you get married in Portland, Oregon, sometimes you get rained on. Lucky for me, on the day of this Village Ballroom wedding in North Portland, the bride's dad saved the day with a set of adorable clear bubble umbrellas! The great music, friends and family took care of the rest.
This wedding day in September was the least snow I've ever seen at Timberline - but what a sunset! I can't wait to share the rest of this lovely Mt. Hood wedding...
Sneak Peek from yesterday's amazing Sauvie Island wedding: sometimes you just have those days where the couple is easy, the light is amazing, and everything just comes together. Yesterday was one of those days.
There's something so special about a very intimate wedding. Kat and Kealan traveled all the way from Philly to have a very tiny wedding ceremony here in beautiful Portland, Oregon, and it felt really special to be a part of it. It was just the bride and groom, the lovely Maureen Haley officiating, and me and my assistant . . .
I'm so excited to share Michael + Jessica's beautiful Mt. Hood Bed + Breakfast wedding. From the gorgeous floral arrangements by the bride's mother (with help from family and friends), to the lovely, personal ceremony officiated by a close friend of the family, the event was clearly a labor of love. Add in great food and drinks, amazing music by DJ Jimbo, and the fantastic coordinating efforts of the lovely Alexis Frasier Gearheart (whom I've worked with now several times since photographing her lovely wedding many years ago), and the result is an amazing event!
Paula and Mike wanted an industrial feel for their engagement session, and they had their first date at a coffee shop, so Paula found the lovely Ristretto Roasters at the Schoolhouse Electric Building in the NW industrial area. I love the exposed beams and open space there, paired with the vintage-style fixtures from Schoolhouse Electric. So many fun options for me! Afterwards we went to Tanner Springs - a city park with an industrial feel - to finish out the session. I couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out, and I look forward to their wedding later this year!
It's always such a pleasure to shoot at Bridal Veil Lakes in the Columbia River Gorge near Portland, Oregon, and Sam + Melissa's beautiful wedding was no exception. These two families know each other very well, in the way that only families of high school sweethearts can, so it was truly lovely to see them come together to celebrate their shared history and a new marriage
