I’ve been playing around with a new aspect ratio (2:1) for the photos on my main site and I wanted to post one here as well, to see how it looked. This image is of a wedding I shot down in Scottsburg, on the way to the Oregon coast from Cottage Grove. The venue belongs to the groom’s family; they have a nice piece…
After all the planning and work that goes into making a successful wedding, the bride and groom aren’t truly married until the license has been signed and witnessed. I always make sure to get a few photos of this momentous event, since most of the time it takes place away from all the family and guests. At this Atavista Farms wedding, between Katie and…
I like to set up a shot like this whenever there’s a large wedding party. The standard poses are all well and good but it’s also important to have some fun, too! This image was taken at Deep Woods Events in Elmira, Oregon.
Cottage Grove, located 15 miles south of Eugene, is a wonderful place to live. It’s also a great place to get married! The first image was taken on the waters of Dorena Lake. I was very happy when we got back to dry ground and all my gear was still intact 🙂 Sophia and Nate were married in Cottage Grove and Sophia got ready…
It’s that time of year again, when newly engaged couples are making plans for their upcoming weddings. With the two biggest Will-You-Marry-Me holidays having just passed (Christmas and Valentine’s Day), a lot of engagement rings have been presented. Now it’s time to plan! Planning a wedding can be a full time job which is why I suggest hiring a full time professional to facilitate…
I was happy to learn that one of my photos was used as a book cover for a newly-published book of poetry by Steve Child, on Amazon. This image was originally taken at the Oregon coast, near the city of Yachats, from a place called Hillside Lodge. Steve is an amazing musician and the Hillside Lodge is an amazing property so I’m glad these…
The bride from this wedding sent me an email before her big day, wanting to know if I could replicate some pictures she’d seen on Pinterest. For the past five years I’ve been getting ever-increasing ‘Pinterest requests.’ It used to bother me a little: those images were from different venues, with different brides, and different times of year…yet I was expected to produce the…
Whenever I shoot a wedding, I’m always looking for places that will make great images. When I saw this willow tree, with its large canopy of overhanging branches, I knew what I wanted to do. The entire wedding party is in the frame, but only the bride and groom are the subjects of the photo. I wanted to demonstrate the intimacy of marriage: your…
Whisper-n-Oaks is one of my favorite wedding venues in Lane County. It has everything: water, trees, wheat fields, a covered bridge, a gazebo, and large indoor/outdoor facilities for every wedding necessity. Brides and Grooms each have their own suite in which to get ready, in air-conditioned comfort. The venue was temporarily shut down in 2014/2015 for remodeling but plans to re-open in 2016 and…
A lot of brides-to-be came up to me at my Oregon Wedding Showcase booth last month, asking where some of my images were taken. Since I’ve shot quite a few weddings at King Estate over the last 10 years, I naturally had a lot of those images at my booth (since I love King Estate weddings!). I was shocked to hear that King Estate…
