‘En Garde’ at Ainsworth House! This was such a fun wedding to photograph at Ainsworth House, in Oregon City. Alyssa and Nick and their family and friends had such a great time, and we just tagged along and captured it all. (I think this is the second or third wedding we’ve photographed that included swords!) After the wedding, we asked…
Man, were we excited when we got to photograph two weddings in the same weekend at Mt Hood SkiBowl! It’s like working at the top of the world. (At 5000 feet, it’s not quite the top of the world…but it still feels like it!) And the icing on the cake? Working with Leah and Stephen. What a delight to be…

Rarely have I ever seen so many beautiful people so elegantly attired as I did at Leslie and Callie’s wedding. A Black Tie New Year’s Eve Gala Wedding at Portland’s Castaway, it was the place to be! We set up our PhotoBooth, in front of the beautiful flowered backdrop that some of the bride’s friends had made. And then, magically,…
We’ve known Sam and Bri for a long time. In fact, they’re some of our favorite people. So when we found out that they (finally) got engaged, we immediately talked with them about photographing their wedding! And (for the second time that month) she said Yes. So it was a real treat to be present for their big day, to…
In spite of temperatures hovering around 100 degrees, Jenn and Jim still managed to have a great time at their Fourth of July wedding. (And so did their wedding photographers….) Held at Portland’s own McMenamin’s Crystal Ballroom, the wedding was a lot of fun. All of the McMenamins locations are so interesting–lots of history, great art from local artists, cool…
For many people, working with a wedding photographer can be a stressful or uncomfortable occasion. So one of the best compliments we get from a bride is that we made her feel comfortable in front of the camera. And that’s what Kinessa told us after her wedding: that she hates being in front of the camera, but with us she felt…
I’m not sure how many countries Scott and Joy have traveled to, or how many versions of scorpion or snake they’ve eaten, or how far they’ve biked in the far corners of the world…but it’s a lot. These guys like adventure, and their wedding day was no exception. From The Modern Man on Mississippi, to Ainsworth House and Gardens in…
I don’t know if you’ll believe me when I say this, but the above photo was taken in March. In Oregon. Notice that bright yellow stuff coming out of the sky? You don’t usually see that in March. In Oregon. Notice the beautiful bride in her sleeveless gown, outside, in March, in Oregon? You don’t usually see that either. I…
Stephanie and Joe held their wedding at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, in Beaverton, Oregon, surrounded by a very large and supportive family. After the ceremony, this crew actually put themselves in place for family photographs before we even stepped in! Obviously, they’ve been to a lot of weddings together. 🙂 After the Catholic mass, we all made our way to…
After getting ready, Avery and Jonathan met in a beautiful garden at Mt Hoor Oregon Resort for their “first look.” The colorful flowers that surrounded them made it look like they were straight from a fairytale. It was the perfect start to their whimsical outdoor wedding. Not a single detail was overlooked throughout the whole day. During the ceremony Avery…
I had some fun recently photographing the staff of Portland Walking Tours/Run Brain Run. Good luck finding a company with a more fun group of employees–or directors. To prove it, we pulled in anything we could haul from a construction zone next door, and photographed people on top, underneath, or inside of everything imaginable, including a not entirely clean toilet. …
