Kendal and Eric’s vintage wedding was held at Camp Colton, an 85-acre retreat at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Their ceremony took place in a gorgeous historic chapel constructed with dark wood walls and pews, and the bridal party dance the night away at the old lodge just down the gravel road. Eric had a slicked-to-the side debonair hairdo…

The day hadn’t started out very well for Lois… First of all, there was the suit. When Lois asked Clark if he was going to wear a suit for the wedding, he said, “Yes.” She didn’t know he meant the suit. She’d argued with him: If Clark wanted to get married, why not just wear a tux like a normal…

Lana and Brian’s wedding tops the list for the most unique wedding I’ve ever photographed. Held on the first day of Spring, the wedding was set at the rustic McMenamin’s Cornelius Pass Roadhouse, which was an ideal location for a vintage-styled wedding. Its old round barn, historic outbuildings, unprimed wood, and small forest were the perfect setting for creating some…

Whenever I tell people I’m heading to Idaho to photograph a wedding, they ask, “Idaho? Why??” I’m guessing it’s because they haven’t been there, because it’s really quite beautiful. I’ve photographed several weddings and portraits sessions there, and the landscape is always stunning. Katie and Justin (who are from Buffalo, New York, and Buhl, Idaho) decided to have their wedding…

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,…

Mandin and Bray tied the know at Oregon City’s beautiful Abernethy Center Gardens on a cool summer morning, surrounded by their friends and family. With hair and makeup by AJ’s Hair Design and Makeup, and flowers by Helene Goode of East West Floral Arts, it was a beautiful wedding to photograph. And the kids were hilarious! (Bray is pretty hilarious,…

Travis and Nicole have been a lot of fun to work with as they’ve planned their wedding celebration at The Resort at the Mountain. (You can see their Portland engagement portraits, flying football and all.) The Resort at the Mountain, in Welches, Oregon, on Mt Hood, is a beautiful place. Its 27-hole golf course wends its way through fir trees…

Skamania Lodge is one of the Columbia River Gorge’s gems. A beautiful lodge, Northwest cuisine worth the drive to eat, golf, hiking, recreation, and a Gorgeous view. A great place for a wedding (my wife and I spent our wedding night there), and a great place for wedding photography. Heather and Kriss and their family and friends celebrated their wedding…

I learned something new on Sunday: The Dalles is the only city in the nation whose name begins with “The”. I can think of some other things from Sunday that begin with “The”: The weather was crazy, and beautiful. Driving from Portland to The Dalles, we were in pounding rain. From the wedding site, we could see rain clouds in…

Marjorie and Devlin are a couple who, in their own words, like to do things different. And they did. Getting married in downtown Portland, I have to admit they were the two most nervous people I’ve ever photographed before a wedding. But they had nothing to worry about: the wedding was beautiful, it was well coordinated by Rachelle Jacobs of…

If you keep up with dance, ballet, and culture in Portland, you may know Holly Tolbert. She is a dancer with Oregon Ballet Theater, and it’s not uncommon to find her lovely figure in the paper or on a poster. I had the privilege of being the photographer at Dave and Holly’s wedding at Cannon Beach this past year. (A…
