Beckenridge Vineyard is located near Dallas, Oregon. They take great pride in their wine, even going so far as to ask their guests not to bring any footwear that’s been worn at other vineyards! I guess this helps keep out unwanted pests and microorganisms that might upset the grape stock. I found a similar attitude from a customs agent in Auckland, but never before…
This groom was nervously waiting for his bride to arrive. The groom’s father took the chance to give his son some last minute advice and reassurance as the rest of the groomsmen waited.
During any wedding, portraits sessions are as fun as you make them! We’ve all seen the classic portraits where everyone is facing the camera, trying to keep a natural smile on their face while not blinking. I like to mix things up a little and get some real expressions going. This is one of the methods I use. Immediately after this kind of shot,…
Whenever I shoot a wedding I always hope the bride has a long veil. There are just so many ways to incorporate it into the portraits! This Whisper’n’Oaks wedding was one such occasion. Alecia and Sean were quite happy to cuddle up under the privacy of taffeta and begin their honeymoon a little early.
While I love shooting weddings here in the Eugene area, getting away from Oregon’s winter weather is great …especially if one ends up in the warm, sunny climes of Cyprus! Lucia and Sjoord (he’s Dutch, she’s a Dutch Cypriot) were married along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. After the ceremony each guest was afforded a chance to light one of these miniature hot…
Tyler and Amy were married at Rocky Butte Park, in Portland. Tyler was just about to be deployed overseas and wanted to make sure he was married before he left.
Vinnie and Valerie were married in Scottsburg, Oregon (along the Umpqua River). While posing them in the tall grass and hammock that fronted the river, I noticed this tree swing on the adjacent property. Too perfect! Using some on-camera fill flash I was able to freeze Valerie, just as Vinnie had given her a push, while using a slow enough shutter speed to let…
Danielle and Brian took a little while to relax around the camera. I got them to engage in the Kissing Game (see previous posts) and that loosened them right up! This was another King Estate wedding.
I always like to include a collection of images of the bride’s bouquet. This one was taken at Bridal Veil Lakes, about an hour east of Portland. There are many ways to do this and one of my favorite is to have the groom stand behind the bride and have them both clasp the bouquet together. I then frame the image so only their…
Looking back at the Cyprus post made me think of the warm places I’ve been lucky enough to visit. Here’s another place I love going back to: Tulúm, Mexico.
