Eugene has so many places for great wedding photography, it’s hard to pick a single favorite. One of those favorites has to be Hendricks Park. Filled with wandering paths and incredible trees, Hendricks Park is a great place for engagement photos, too. If you’re shooting a wedding in Eugene, and the venue itself isn’t as spectacular as you’d like it, head to Hendricks Park!…
It’s only 4 weeks until the 2016 Oregon Wedding Showcase at the Lane County Event Center in Eugene. I mentioned in my last post how to get 2-for-1 tickets to the show. Here is that link one more time!
The summer will be here before we know it. Long days and warm nights make the perfect outdoor wedding setting. This couple, married at Whisper’n’Oaks, took full advantage of Oregon’s beautiful summer weather.
The 2016 Oregon Wedding Showcase takes place at the Lane Events Center the weekend of January 30th and 31st. For a limited time, Groupon is offering two-for-one tickets! Click here for the Groupon link.

Once a couple becomes married, it’s rare to see their rings together. It’s also rare to see any inscriptions that may be inside the groom’s ring. Also, they’re so shiny and new on the wedding day, it’s a great time to photograph them. I even had one bride use one of my images from her wedding to help with an insurance claim after her…
This is the final installment of the First Look series I’ve been showcasing this week. In this case, the groom was so nervous about the first look he asked his Best Man to bring him a little liquid courage. Seeing this, and knowing how nervous the groom was, I decided to play a little joke on him that I thought would help loosen him up…
When a bride and groom see each other for the first time, I call it the First Look. Other people call this moment The Reveal, although this term specifically refers to a pre-ceremony, staged occurrence. In the example below, Jenna and Tom opted to see each other before the ceremony. Jenna was great in front of the camera, a perfect model.
