Get comfy! There are lot of photos in this one! Mandy and Evan were married near Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, WA. It was an extended weekend loaded with fun and I was fortunate to be a part of the whole thing.
Thursday consisted of an early evening BBQ followed by a late night bonfire near the water on Westcott Bay. Friday started with a basketball tournament and some tennis. After the rehearsal, Mandy’s sister, Katie, kicked things up a notch for everyone with an …

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

This wedding was a lot of fun for me. Alicia is one of many in a group of friends whose weddings I’ve photographed. That string of brides started with a wedding almost three years ago! You might remember the wedding at Oregon State University that was on my old website? And somehow I always see my cousin and aunt at these weddings.
Tyler and Alicia own an organic farm, Afton Field Farm, and therefore worked a lot of that into their wedding. I must tell you …

Here’s a cool thing to share with all of you. Some of Portland’s best photographers have joined forces! We all face the same issues as small business owners so we decided to start a collaborative blog in the spirit of helping each other gain more exposure (ooh…bad pun…definitely not intended). hah
It’s already been a great resource in a number of ways. One stop shopping for brides. One stop inspiration for each of the contributing photographers. I can see already that there is a huge …
