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.

A Vineyard Walk

I love it when the sun’s just gone down and there’s still that warm glow in the air. This is another image from a Beckenridge wedding.

Piggyback at Beckenridge

Leanne and Ryan were married at Beckenridge Vineyard in Dallas, Oregon. I’ve shot weddings at Beckenridge in all kinds of weather and I really like when the sun is out and the sky is a deep blue; Oregon’s such a great place to get married! In this photo, Leanne was afraid of getting her dress dirty so Ryan offered her a piggyback ride…

King Estate, Part I

King Estate has asked me to provide them with a portfolio of wedding images, since I’ve shot quite a few there over the years. I’ll start out with a few from Danielle and Brian’s wedding, during another beautiful, sunny summer day.

Daddy’s Little Girl

Before this ceremony got underway, the father of the bride was as calm and as jovial as could be. Once it began , however, he choked up as he watched his little girl proclaim her vows.

A Gossamer Dream, an Emerald Valley Golf Resort Wedding

Elise’s veil was over seven feet long and she needed every inch of it to help keep her warm during her Emerald Valley Golf Resort wedding this past weekend; it was freezing! The veil was also a great scene setter, like in this shot of Elise  adding some final touches to her makeup before she walked down the aisle.

Engagement Photos

Christmas and New Year’s are the two biggest days for ‘popping the question.’ This means there are a lot of couples out there who will need engagement photos! Hiring a professional to shoot your engagement session is a great way to ‘interview’ a potential wedding photographer. I like them because it helps me get to know the couples before they get married; it also helps couples get used to having me point a camera at them:)
The image below is from an engagement session I shot up in Portland, for Jenny and Johnny.

All Inclusive

Why do I love to shoot weddings? Imagine this:

Your day begins at the hair salon, where you and all your bridesmaids get your hair and makeup looking just right. And perhaps share a mimosa or two…

From the salon you move on to the venue, excited to try on that dress and knowing that, this time, your husband-to-be will finally get to see you in it!

The ceremony itself is a dream; you both get to tell each other, in front of all your family and friends, how much you want to be together.

The rings are on, the vows have been spoken; now it’s time to party! There’s a festive cocktail hour, during which your guests are entertained by your awesome DJ while you’re off getting your formal photos taken.

The DJ does a great job announcing you to your guests as you enter the reception. Dinner and dancing ensue, followed by cake cutting and bouquet tossing.

Now it’s time for your getaway car to whisk you away to your hotel for the night, where you wake up early and head to the airport to begin your honeymoon.

Sounds like an amazing day, doesn’t it? And I get to be there for all of it (well, except for that last part:), capturing forever the memories of your most important day.

That’s why I have the best job in the world 🙂
