Go Ducks!!!!

This is the second in my two-part (so far!!) Go Ducks series. This image is from a wedding I shot at The Beacon House. The bride got ready at her parents’ home and they were huge Ducks fans, as is evidenced by the fact they have an entire room dedicated to the green and gold…  

Go Ducks!

I had to dig through a few files to find this one, but I knew I had it. The bride and all her bridesmaids are avid Oregon fans and, since it’s NCAA tourney time, I thought this would be a great time to post this image. This image was taken at King Estate.  

Outstanding in their field

Sarah and Kody were married at Whisper’n’Oaks and they made sure to book their wedding early enough that the wheat fields would be at their maximum height. I’ve always loved bringing couples out to the wheat fields there; I love the juxtaposition of the rustic wheat stalks with the formal wear of newlyweds. This image received some slight, old-timey processing in Adobe Lightroom.

A runaway bride

The bride wanted to incorporate the fence into her bridal party photos at this Whisper’n’Oaks wedding. I didn’t think she was going to try climbing to the top of it!

Getting their groove on, Part II

Jacob and his groomsmen all had their own turn to light up the dance floor. I think it’s great when the guys get up and dance!

Getting their groove on, Part 1

I love it when a bride and her bridesmaids are all out on the dance floor. Such great energy. I decided to convert this image to black and white since the color balance was off the charts (tungsten lighting from thousands of Christmas-type lights, my own Canon flashes, and the multi-colored lights spilling forth from the DJ’s setup, plus the last of the day’s…

Honeymoon Bound!

It’s not often that a wedding reception wraps up before dark but that was the case with this wedding…the bride and groom just couldn’t wait for the honeymoon! It was a warm night and I had the top down on my own car as I followed the couple over the Ferry St Bridge, shooting as I drove.

The Willamette River at Sunset

The sun was just about to sink behind the hills when I took this picture of Jaime and Robert along the Willamette River near Harrisburg, Oregon. Off-camera lighting can really come in handy at times!

The ring bearer

Most ring bearers, when they’re this age, are given ceremonial rings to carry; the real ones are normally in the best man’s pocket. This little guy, however, was given the actual rings and he made sure they were tied securely to the ring-bearing pillow:)  

Hay You

Heather & Jon were married at the Big K Ranch in Elkton, Oregon along the banks of the Umpqua River. Heather, who’s from England, was a great sport and a very entertaining bride.
