Anne & Ian on the beach

When I picked up my new speedlights (the Canon 600EX-RT), I was mostly excited about the built-in radio transmitters. However, they also have much better E-TTL (one way the flash interacts with the camera) than my previous flashes. This is one such example, using the flash as a something more than a bit of fill; I wanted to really light them up while maintaining a rich, textured background. This is another of a series from The Sandtrap in Gearhart, Oregon.

She’s a handful!

This may be an old photography trick but Anne & Ian thought it’d be funny so I shot a few like this one, making it look like the groom was holding the bride in his hand. Another image from the McMenamins Sandtrap in Gearhart, Oregon.

Here’s another one from this past Sunday, along the Oregon coast near Gearhart and The Sandtrap Hotel. The clouds had just lifted and the sky was a very nice shade of blue.

Happy 4th of July!

Anne & Ian were married at the McMenamins Sandtrap in Gearhart, Oregon this past Sunday. As we walked along the beach at sunset I knew I wanted to make this image for a July 4th posting:)

Beach Proposal

Jon and Stephanie were married along the Oregon Coast, at the Westwind Bioreserve. This part of the coast is only accessible by boat so we had the beach all to ourselves. The wind was blowing quite fiercely, as it often does in these parts, and I loved how it made Stephanie’s veil stand straight out.
