Brides and grooms are often nervous about hiring destination wedding photographers for their wedding. But at FritzPhoto, we’ve traveled the world photographing weddings. From New York to Napa Valley, Mexico to Thailand, we’ve photographed at some pretty cool wedding venues. So when Chad and Marcy asked us–Portland wedding photographers that we are–to photograph their wedding on Washington’s Puget Sound, we…
Molly and David may be the sweetest couple I’ve ever worked with. They wanted a rustic, autumn theme for their November wedding. The event planners, Yeti & The Beast, hunted in the woods for greenery, dried blooms, vines and twisted young trees to create the perfect altar and wedding decor. Every moment of their wedding day was completely magical, and…
We were so honored to be chosen by Wedding and Portrait Photographers International to be their Photographer of the Month! Along with an interview about how we work, and why we love photography, they featured a few favorite wedding, portrait, and lifestyle photographs. It’s always such an honor to have a professional organisation, who sees thousands of photographers’ work, choose…
I place a lot of importance on building a rapport with the couples I photograph during our first consultation. Being able to do that is an important aspect of being a wedding photographer. However, I don’t always have the opportunity to meet every couple in person before their wedding, which means that it’s necessary for me to build that rapport…
What do you say when you get a call from an Indian model who wants you to photograph her wedding? Well, yes, of course. Kirtana modeled in India for years, although now she lives in the US and is a writer and editor. Her wedding to Rex, a geologist, was the delight of our Spring wedding photography season. We started…
Diego and Jessica and their families gathered at Portland’s Lakeside Gardens for their wedding and reception, and boy, did they have fun! From the touching letter that Diego sent over to Jessica before their first look, to some fantastic toasts, to a hilarious dance party, it was a truly joyful day! Diego and Jessica, thank you for the privilege of being…
Even though we’re based in Portland, Oregon, we love to photograph destination weddings around the country. Having the opportunity to do Anastasia and Rick’s wedding photography in Muir Woods, California, was a real treat! Anastasia is a designer for Free People. Her and Rick’s wedding was filled with a laid back, hippie-chick vibe; married on the beach with the forest…
Tiffany and Steven came all the way from Langley, British Columbia to have their wedding at the Abernethy Center in Oregon City. One great thing about the Abernethy Center is the different, equally great options it has for ceremony locations, which came in handy on this day because the weather was being incredibly fickle. Originally, the plan was to have the…
We always love it when our wedding photography is featured in wedding magazines, especially when the weddings are as special as Grace and Paul’s beautiful wedding! Oregon Bride Magazine’s current issue features the beautiful wedding of a Portland ballerina and an art maven. (You can see our full blog post on the wedding here!) Grace was a professional ballerina, dancing with…
What do Lebanese dance music, New Year’s Eve, a New York DJ, and lots of family and friends, have in common? One heck of a good party, that’s what. Back in July, we photographed Kirstin and Neal’s engagement portraits. We knew then that their wedding was going to be quite an event, and we were not disappointed. Held at…
Portland’s Rhododendron Garden is one beautiful place for a wedding. Michael and Meghann gathered with their friends and family for a truly unique wedding, at the edge of the stream and surrounded by Oregon’s stunning rhododendrons. Unique touches of vintage beautifulness abounded. Congratulations to a fun, loving couple! Whether you’re getting married at a faraway wedding destination, or your…
Thalia and Conor were surrounded by their closest friends and family as they tied the knot at the World Forestry Center. They started their day together with a private First Look in the Vietnam Veterans of Oregon Memorial Park. From the first look to the first dance the whole day ran smoothly (thanks to the coordinators at EJP Events!). The…
