Using a long telephoto lens, in this case a Canon 70-200 mm f2.8, with a shallow depth of field (meaning only a small part of the image is in focus), is a great way to isolate your subjects. In this photo of Chelsea and Alex, at their wedding in Bend, I wanted to focus on the couple as they walked hand in hand as…
I had a booth at the Oregon Wedding Showcase last weekend and KMTR (channel 16 in Eugene, the NBC channel) was kind enough to use my booth as the only wedding photographer’s booth they showed on their newscast. Thank you, KMTR! Here is a screenshot of my booth, as seen on my own tv (yes, this is a photo from my iPhone, lol!).
The Oregon Wedding Showcase is this weekend at the Lane County Events Center. Please stop by and visit my booth! For all couples who book with me during the Showcase, I am offering free wedding albums (see booth for details). Also, here is a coupon for the show! Simply print this out and bring it with you. This image below (since I can’t put…
I don’t see a lot of Oregon brides who are into the Trash the Dress craze, but Trisha here knew her dress would get a little messy as she and her new husband, Jordan, hiked with me deep into the woods after their ceremony. The sun had already set but there was still some twilight left. I supplemented that with light from an off-camera…
When I shot Barry and Janina’s wedding a couple years ago, I had no idea I’d be hearing his name on the news last night! While involved in a traffic stop, he was struck from behind by a texting driver. Luckily he’s doing fine (last I heard, he was ‘sipping blackberry whiskey’), and won’t have to work during Christmas! I’m just glad he’s okay….
Sophia and Nate were married in Cottage Grove, Oregon and they wanted their sunset photos taken near Dorena Lake, in the area where Sophia grew up. The sun was almost behind the hills but I was able to get a few shots in before it disappeared. Using a combination of natural light and fill flash for those shots, I decided this was one of those…
The light in Bend is unique. Reminiscent of Santa Fe, the clear mountain air lends a soft, golden touch to everything, creating a warmth unmatched throughout western Oregon. As the sun set this wedding day, I had to grab the bride and groom and whisk them away for 30 minutes before the light went flat. My destination was a small pond at the edge…
McMenamins is known for converting old properties into wonderful, all-inclusive hotels. By all-inclusive, I mean they have it all! From steam baths to golf courses, the McMenamins collection of brewpubs is unmatched. The public spaces are always scattered throughout the properties, inviting guests to explore all the nooks and crannies. A few even have movie theaters! By retaining the original character of each property…
Amanda and John’s Oregon coast wedding was beautiful. Even though it rained off and on during the day, the clouds parted occasionally, letting in light like this; a soft beam that managed to fall directly onto the couple. We spent about 30 minutes on the coast, after the ceremony, and the light was pretty flat until this moment. Then it was beautiful. I was…
