Ok - so I’ve been a bad blogger….2 weeks since I last posted! Wedding season ended for me last week with the marriage of Stacy and Kyle up at Bridal Veil Lakes, and I’ve been busy catching up on processing, commercial work and some pin-ups and have just not updated the blog!! Sorry!
So - here are a few from my last wedding of 2008. If you are getting married in 2009 then get in touch, we have some awesome plans for next year!
These two kids have been together for 18 years, and NOW they decide to tie the knot!! Jason is one big fella, so to see him ball like a baby when he saw his bride brought a tear to everyone - including me!! What a wonderful day - thanks for the fun guys!
Meet the lovely Tori, and the awesome Andrew! I photographed their engagement session earlier in the year so they knew what to expect on their big day! We had a ton of fun and the dancing was wild!
Check out Jessica and Nic - cuter than a bug’s ear! Childhood sweethearts who tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony up at Bridal Veil Lakes a couple of weeks ago (yeah…I’m still behind in blogging!).
A great day was had by all - all the best to Mr and Mrs Hall!
Minh and Floyd - 2 sweeter people you couldn’t hope to meet! Their wedding was great fun, and afterwards we headed down for an hour or so of great portrait time around OMSI. Here are 5 of my faves from the day:
A week late, but here are some of my favorites from an awesome wedding at Persimmon’s Country club, and then the party afterwards at La Costita - which just happens to be the groom’s own restaurant!!Their first dance…man - didn’t see that coming….not your average slow song for this couple, these two rocked the house with a banging Latin dance number, including dancing right through the restaurant and back!! Great fun.
!This was another wedding that I shot as an associate photographer for Power’s Studios here in Portland.
This was a full, but very satisfying day’s shooting. Lisa and Auston - a lovely romantic couple! We started the day out at Edgefield, and ended it down by the river next to Omsi, in the dead of night!! Great fun!
This was another wedding that I shot as an associate photographer for Power’s Studios here in Portland.
Sarita and Jaime - two cool cats getting hitched in August…should be a blast!
Corinne and Spencer! So good, I shot them twice in the same week!! Ok - so having your engagement shoot 2 days before the wedding is a little unusual, but it was a great evening, and I’ve just downloaded my cards from their beautiful wedding today and what an awesome day it was!! Here are a few sneak peaks of the e-session from Thursday, and 2 very quick ones from today…more soon! Best of luck to the happy couple!
If anyone ever asks you if the water flowing from Mt Hood is cold…you can tell them from me that it’s FREEZING!!!
Meet Vicki and Dan. Vicki is a friend of mine from a photo forum, and a fellow photographer. Her and hubby Dan are from Canada and very used being out in the elements. She contacted me a while back to see if I could capture them in a portrait / Trash the dress session when they hit town for a few days….certainly!! I had no idea they’d be this much fun! After an hour or so messing around in my favorite Portland location (abandoned factory) we headed for the Gorge and a waterfall. Both game for a laugh, they got right in there…under the waterfall, and laying down in the freezing waters! I got in there too, up to my knees only though….I had a camera to protect!!
Here are the first few….what an amazing session!!
Wedding photography is hard work on a mild day…today it was hawwwwt! Luckily, I seem to have been gifted a fantastic bunch of clients this year, and today’s couple, Jenica and Bart, continued my fantastic run of wonderful, happy and romantic weddings this summer. Eagle eyed readers will recognise these two from their engagement session earlier in the year. Like many of my couples, they are naturals for the camera, willing to play and have fun, and I had an amazing time being part of their wedding. Here are a couple of faves as they crossed my screen tonight - more soon! Best of luck to Mr and Mrs Bishop!!
Ashleigh and Liam….a bridal fashion shoot. Why? Fun that’s why!!I’ve worked with both of these guys before and have been wanting to do some edgy fashion based bridal shots for a while in an urban environment, so since they are both awesome looking thought I’d put them together and have some fun. Now…as a professional, I’m not going to divulge the comedy of errors that transpired before we actually got the shoot off the ground (all MY errors..these two were great!) but let’s just say that by the time we actually got some frames off, I was in stress city! We all relaxed and got into it, and the setting couldn’t have been better. More to come as I get to work them, here’s one to show how great they look.
Another great bridal fashion shoot…this time with the lovely Catriona! This turned out to be a rather large shoot, and there are lots of images to come!!
Because one is most definetly not enough..!! A few more from the awesome bridal fashion session with the incredible Cherry Dollface…
Meet Cherry - one of the most amazing women I’ve ever photographed. Not only is she awesome looking, but she’s happy fun and smart and brought a huge energy to the session! We shot these Bridal fashion images - not really a Trash The Dress as such, but you really don’t need to trash it to have fun - and we also shot some ‘Intimate’ images which are destined to form a portfolio for a new service I’m launching later in the year…stay tuned on that one!
A couple more from Kristin’s bridal shoot - great fun, and doesn’t she look awesome!
Meet Kristin - an amazing young lady who wanted some awesome, different shots in her vintage wedding dress. Certainly!! We had a ton of fun on this shoot, she’s a natural! More to come from this shoot soon, these are 4 very quick ones:
