This wedding party was quite large; they were also very willing to do whatever I asked of them 🙂 Since most of the bridesmaids were on dance team together, I knew this shot was going to be fun.
Light it up

When Megan and Kenji walked past this old barn I saw their shadows on the wall and thought, what a fun portrait that would be! This was taken at Whisper’n’Oaks.
A brief interlude

My stepfather, Chris Clark, passed away this morning after a 2 year battle with cancer. He and my mother were married in 1978. He was an amazing man, one of the world’s leading Alzheimer’s researchers, and just the strongest person I’ve ever met. This is his CV.
More wedding images tomorrow.
Attention to Details

It’s always nice to have a helpful Maid of Honor. In this Broken Top wedding, shot in Bend, the MOH maid sure the bride’s dress was going to look perfect as her father escorted her down the aisle.

This was the ad I ran for the early bookings of 2012.
A Toast to the Future, A King Estate Wedding
Posted on January 7, 2012
There are many reasons to have your wedding at King Estate Vineyards, not the least of which is their great wine! Every couple I’ve worked with at King Estate has taken full advantage of not just the vineyard itself but also of the varietals it produces. My favorite is the King Estate 2006 Domaine Pinot Noir. The Domaine name simply means that 100% of the grapes used in that particular vintage came from King Estate.
These guys were toasting the groom (the fellow on the far right) and his excellent choice of wine, bride and venue …not in that particular order, of course!
I exposed for the sky in this image because I wanted the clouds to stand out. If I’d just used an average meter reading the sky would’ve been blown out. Exposing for the sky also meant that the guys’ tuxedos would remain black and not gray. A little on-camera fill flash evened out some of the shadows and gave life to the foreground.
Giving her away

I never know how the bride’s parents are going to react while the vows are being said. These parents were torn between happiness for their little girl and the knowledge that she had, indeed, grown up. This image was taken at Whisper’n’Oaks near Eugene, OR.
Bridal Veil Lakes wedding
Posted on January 2, 2012
Since I have this image as part of my collage (above post), I figured I may as well say a little more about it. Ashley & Chris were married at Bridal Veil Lakes, located 50 miles or so east of Portland. While the venue is somewhat remote, it’s definitely worth the drive! If you’re thinking of visiting the area, I would recommend staying at the The Edgefield in Troutdale. On this particular day, in mid-May, the weather was perfect and so was the wedding.
Bridal Veil Lakes, continued…

Bridal Veil Lakes really is an outstanding wedding venue. Once Ashley & Chris got away from the crush of family and friends, we took a walk next to the lake. The filtered sunlight was just perfect.
