Krysta and Sean had an amazing wedding day at Ainsworth House and Garden. They were so happy and gracious, and it was a complete honor to be apart of their wonderful day. We asked the couple a few questions to help tell the story of their day. What was your favorite moment of your wedding? It’s hard to pick a…
Jon and Debira were married on July 16th, with a ceremony and reception at the Ainsworth House in Oregon City. These two actually had TWO wedding ceremonies—they eloped before their larger ceremony. Debira and John are both pretty shy, so they wanted to have their own personal vows and enjoy an intimate atmosphere under the garden arch with just their…
The newlyweds incorporated the Jewish tradition of Yichud, taking some time alone to reflect on their journey together We love photographing at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton! We’re so happy that we’re preferred wedding photographers at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton, because it means we get to photograph weddings like Josh and Chanda’s. What a fun couple, and a thoughtful wedding! …
Michelle & Brian’s wedding ceremony was held at Portland’s historic Old Church, in Downtown Portland. Their ceremony was held at Blue Sky Gallery, Portland’s oldest photography gallery. We asked Jennifer to share some of her favorite memories as Michelle and Brian’s wedding photographer: What was your favorite memory from photographing this wedding? Her bridesmaids were some of my favorite people…
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…
I’ll give you fair warning from the outset: this will probably devolve into a blog post about cute children. So consider yourself warned. Several years ago, I photographed Alex Freeman’s senior portraits, and a few years after that, I photographed his brother Dan’s senior portraits. I have to admit, it made me feel old to have Alex and Dan’s dad…
After nearly a year of keeping this beautiful celebration under wraps, we are thrilled to finally share the wedding photography of Brandon Roy and Tiana Bardwell! Out of respect for the Roy family’s privacy, we’ve been holding onto these images until they were published in a magazine, but now the wait is over. The current issue of Oregon Bride Magazine…
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…
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,…
Where do you begin in sharing about two great friends that get married? Dayn and I have been friends for a number of years, sharing videography, photography, dorky humor, newgrass music appreciation, travel, and other pursuits in common. (You can see some of his videos–including a very clever love song for his girlfriend…–and my comments about him, in this post.…
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…
