Finishing touches

There are lots of places for a bride to get ready: a hotel room, her parents’ house, a bridal suite at the wedding venue, etc. This, however, was the most scenic place I’ve ever seen a bride receive those finishing touches. Another Bridal Veil Lakes wedding.

Go ahead, jump!

This wedding party was quite large; they were also very willing to do whatever I asked of them 🙂 Since most of the bridesmaids were on dance team together, I knew this shot was going to be fun.

Light it up

When Megan and Kenji walked past this old barn I saw their shadows on the wall and thought, what a fun portrait that would be! This was taken at Whisper’n’Oaks.

 

Bridal Veil Lakes wedding

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Welcome to 2012! Here’s to many more happy couples:)

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.

 

Convergence

I had to add another couple images from last week’s Mt Pisgah wedding. The first image shows how intimate the church was during the ceremony, while the 2nd image showcases, once again, how lucky we got in the afternoon, when the gray skies parted and let the sun find its way through the trees and onto the newlyweds.

Portland Engagement session

Portland is not only a wonderful place to get married, it’s also a great place to get engaged! This image is from an engagement session I shot in the NW area, near the Pearl District.
