A Toast to the Future, A King Estate Wedding
Posted on January 7, 2012
There are many reasons to have your wedding at King Estate Vineyards, not the least of which is their great wine! Every couple I’ve worked with at King Estate has taken full advantage of not just the vineyard itself but also of the varietals it produces. My favorite is the King Estate 2006 Domaine Pinot Noir. The Domaine name simply means that 100% of the grapes used in that particular vintage came from King Estate.
These guys were toasting the groom (the fellow on the far right) and his excellent choice of wine, bride and venue …not in that particular order, of course!
I exposed for the sky in this image because I wanted the clouds to stand out. If I’d just used an average meter reading the sky would’ve been blown out. Exposing for the sky also meant that the guys’ tuxedos would remain black and not gray. A little on-camera fill flash evened out some of the shadows and gave life to the foreground.
Giving her away

I never know how the bride’s parents are going to react while the vows are being said. These parents were torn between happiness for their little girl and the knowledge that she had, indeed, grown up. This image was taken at Whisper’n’Oaks near Eugene, OR.
Bridal Veil Lakes wedding
Posted on January 2, 2012
Since I have this image as part of my collage (above post), I figured I may as well say a little more about it. Ashley & Chris were married at Bridal Veil Lakes, located 50 miles or so east of Portland. While the venue is somewhat remote, it’s definitely worth the drive! If you’re thinking of visiting the area, I would recommend staying at the The Edgefield in Troutdale. On this particular day, in mid-May, the weather was perfect and so was the wedding.
Bridal Veil Lakes, continued…

Bridal Veil Lakes really is an outstanding wedding venue. Once Ashley & Chris got away from the crush of family and friends, we took a walk next to the lake. The filtered sunlight was just perfect.
Wedding Photography at Atavista Bed & Breakfast
Posted on December 10, 2011
Katie & Wes were married this past summer at Atavista Bed & Breakfast (in Brownsville, Oregon). Everything about that day was perfect and the sunset was no exception. I took advantage of the soft light and had Wes lift Katie into his arms while walking through the wheat fields surrounding the property.
Let it Snow!

In honor of the season’s first snowfall today I decided to post this image from a wedding I shot up at Timberline Lodge a few years back. Let it snow!
Autumn in Eugene

Kelly and Joe were married here in Eugene and the fall colors were amazing! This image was taken at Alton Baker Park.
Bend Wedding
Posted on October 28, 2011
Katherine & Spencer were married at the Broken Top resort in Bend this past summer, and it was a splendid day for a wedding in Central Oregon. Katherine bought her dress at Bella Brides and I thought it looked stunning when contrasted against these lovely aspens. This image was made just after sunset, when the light was perfect and the temperature had cooled. I used my long lens and ambient light only, no flash for this image.
