Instagram

When Instagram became a thing, I noticed a lot of photos were being altered so they looked washed out and yellowy; most had an Instagram filter applied and they all looked kinda fake (to me). Now that the novelty has worn off, and folks are posting more realistic looking images, I thought it was time for me to join. Here’s a screen shot of…

Atavista

At Atavista Farm, in Brownsville, Oregon, you’ll find everything you need for your outdoor Oregon wedding. It’s simply spectacular. These are some images from Wes & Katie’s wedding I shot at Atavista.                                          

Beckenridge Vineyards Wedding

Beckenridge Vineyards, located in Dallas, Oregon, is one of the premiere wedding venues in the Willamette Valley. I saw online that the property is for sale so let’s hope the new owners keep up the wedding tradition! These two images were taken just as the sun was setting and the bride and groom were about to take off in their vintage pickup truck.    …

The Country Inn, Eugene

The Country Inn, located in north Eugene off Coburg Road, is a great wedding venue! With two separate venues in one location, The Country Inn can host large weddings or intimate weddings and, whichever one you decide on, you’ll have full access to the wonderful grounds that surround and make up the property. This wedding, between Matt & Rebecca, took place in the larger of…

Kids love weddings!

I always look for a few shots of kids at a wedding; it’s always fun to see them watching the newlyweds and imagining their own wedding someday.  

A St. John’s Wedding

Portland is blessed with lots of wonderful wedding venues. This wedding, however, didn’t take place at a venue; instead, it took place under the St John’s Bridge, a Portland icon. There’s a park there called, fittingly enough, Cathedral Park! It was quite sunny and warm that day but I saw a shady willow tree I knew would make for a nice backdrop.    …

Dagmara & Hans

Dagmara and Hans were married this past September at Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm which, despite the wintry name, is an awesome wedding venue all year ’round! River frontage, a sprawling farmhouse and some old rustic barns give Northern Lights a nice ‘country’ feel only a few minutes from Eugene. Check them out! Here are a few images from that day.  

Ariel & Jon

Ariel and Jon were married on Jon’s parents’ property outside Junction City, Oregon. When I first met them there, to create a shot list for the day and to see which locations and lighting would be best, I thought there was no way they’d transform the property into a viable wedding venue in time for their wedding. Boy, did I underestimate how much work…

Weddings in 2017

The Oregon Wedding Showcase is happening in three weeks at the Lane Events Center in Eugene and I’ve already been inundated with requests for photography; brides are hoping to lock in their dates earlier and earlier every year! If you’re still looking for a photographer, or just want to score lots of free swag, stop by the showcase; I still have dates available. I’ll…
