Get comfortable…there are a ton of photos in this post! It’s hard to summarize a destination wedding like this in one post. But that’s what I love so much about this new blog. I can post as many photos as I like without giving you all more stuff to scroll through to find other recent posts. It’s got a great big picture overview and leaves you the ability to choose what you want to see. Anyway…back to Vienna!
Dave & Sarah approached me at another wedding …

I’ve been up half the night due to the excitement. What could be so great?! I finally found personal finance software for Mac that helps me relate to my money the way I want to. Any Mac user will understand how awesome that is. After trying Quicken, iBank, Moneydance and others, MoneyWell has got me hooked! Here’s why I’m excited (both about the software and about my financial future).
Let’s start with a little commentary on personal finances for the future. One of my friends …

With the onset of great weather comes great engagement shoots! Cherry trees are in blossom, flowers are blooming…and for some reason the only other thing that comes to mind is the movie Bambi, so my last item for this list is that people are twitterpated. And for you youngins, that’s not a reference to a fondness toward a certain new technology.
Here are some photos from what is still one of my favorite engagement shoots. Ben & Adrianne wanted to go wine tasting in the Dundee …

Ahhhh, Vienna. How does one package this up into a blog post? After watching my cursor blink for a few minutes, I realized you can’t. You just have to go see it!
I spent a week there last fall shooting a wedding that you may already have seen on my Facebook page. These, however, are some of the scenic shots I took as my friends and I roamed the city. This was my first time seeing buildings nearly a thousand years old.

I remember scanning my junk email one day and seeing something about Paradisus Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic in one of the subject lines. I figured it was a financial scam of some sort so I quickly moved on. A few days later, I received a phone call asking if I’d had a chance to check my availability for the date mentioned in the email. Umm, what email? Cripes! The one that was sorted into my junk box. I’m SO happy Ben called …

A while back, a friend of mine was in the hunt for a job in sports modeling. It was fun to get out and shoot something so different. We headed down to a few areas around the East Side Esplanade and the Willamette River. It turns out the weather was perfect and the sky was just right. Of course if you ask Amy, she might have another opinion about shooting on a cold and mostly cloudy day. hah

Here’s a great wedding from this summer. Nick and Lianne had their wedding at Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast on a nice warm summer day. I like that they chose bright colors to match the weather and location. The other really cool part, is that because of a late spring, Mt. Hood was still perfectly snow capped clear through July! Some of the photos show a lot of lens flare, which really adds to the bright sunny feel of that day.
I hope you enjoy the photos! …
