Christine used to be a hair and makeup artist in LA, working with movie stars. (She was telling me, as she got dressed for her wedding, how she used to have to ‘dress down’ in overalls and tennis shoes when working on starlets, so they didn’t feel any competition from Christine….) When she called me to book her wedding photography,…
“As you wish!” We all know that famous line from the wonderfully quotable movie “Princess Bride”, and it seems like a fitting theme for a wedding. Nonetheless, Julianna and Aaron were the first bride and groom I’ve seen take up the cry for their own wedding, and with such lovely results. From the decorative centerpieces, created by Punch, to the…
First it was Stephanie, in 2008. Then Kenzie, in 2009. And this year, the final Johnston daughter, Megan, married Justin. Whew! We had the privilege of being at all three of these weddings, photographing their wedding stories. Let me just say, the Johnston family (and the families of their spouses!) know how to have fun. As the day got started,…
My good friends Dayn and Mandi finally got married! And what a delightful day it was. I’ll post more about the wedding in another post, but for now, wanted to share some of the fun PhotoBooth photographs that Aisha and I took. There are so many great ones, that I had to narrow it down to just a few here.…
I don’t know that I’ve ever photographed a wedding attended by so many pregnant women. I counted at least 5. (I know better than to ask. My assistant once made the mistake of asking a woman when she was expecting. She wasn’t.) And four of them showed up in the PhotoBooth with such clever ideas, I just have to share…
Man, the PhotoBooth is so fun, both for the people in front and behind the camera. The people in the front are so creative and hilarious, and the guy behind gets to laugh his head off while snapping great photo after great photo. We had a great time in Portland’s Monaco Hotel and Red Star Tavern. I especially enjoyed seeing…
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family this holiday season, from all of us here at Fritz Photography!
When you hear the word “Photobooth,” I’m sure you think of the old vertical box that you squeeze into, draw the curtain, and ham it up for 4 pictures. You step out, and wait for the strip of 4 little images to roll out of the printer. And that’s that. We’ve taken the PhotoBooth to a new level. Instead of…
We’ve sure been having fun with our PhotoBooth setup at weddings this year, and our customers have too! We shot a wedding this past weekend, and the Photo Booth was one of the main attractions. People start out stiff, and loosen up as we fire away. We even got the servers in on the action (and one of the girls…
We had some fun photographing at the new Ace Hotel in downtown Portland this past weekend. John and Amanda were married in their event space called The Cleaners (yes, a converted dry cleaners, complete with the faded Peacock Clenaers sign still hanging outside). The wedding was cozy and intimate, and the Ace staff were super friendly. We also had fun…
