This was shot while on assignment for Powers Studios, and reproduced with kind permission.

They tied the knot at Camas Meadows Golf Club and it was awesome!!!

Thanks Lauren, Sam and Debbie for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing day!

Here are a few of my faves….

He explains it better than me…from the website:

“PortlandOregon.com was created to help our community find and share information in an effort to enrich community interaction and promote the support of local businesses.”

He asked if I could provide some product photography for their new ad campaigns and I was glad to help! Here are the iPad, iPhone and laptop he had me shoot for them.

The website is an awesome resource for Portlanders – you can find me on there too!!

Quite a few of my weddings this year are as a lead associate for Powers Studios, and many of the images from those weddings are over on their blog.

Yesterday though, I was up at the lovely Bridal Veil Lakes photographing the gorgeous Christy and her new husband Chris!

What a fabulous day!!

Here are a few of my favorites – and congratulations to Christy and Chris, and all the best for a fantastic married future together!

But the time has come for a new headshot…and being bored waiting for some products for a shoot to arrive the other day I had a quick go at a self portrait….I think it turned out rather well….

We had a ton of fun shooting this, and I hear he loved the calendar!!

Enjoy the video and images:

I’m going to be shooing their wedding at the end of the month and it’s going to be a blast!

Lauren is my friend Debbie’s daughter. I met Debbie via a great online photography site:

NoBS PhotoSuccess

and she asked if I could shoot their wedding!

I have another great friend, Jason Abbott, from Texas flying up to help out – and I can’t wait!

Here are some faves from the day:

First time I’ve been back to California since I left in 2008, and the weather didn’t disappoint!

The venue for my Pinned-Up workshop this time was the Santa Clarita Center for Photography run by Mel Carll (a new friend!) This workshop came about after I met the awesome William Innes at WPPI in Vegas this year, and he asked if I could bring the pin-up fun to Southern California…sure!

We had three great models, a bunch of fun students and had a blast. When I present these workshops we spend a day shooting, posing and lighting and then a day discussing marketing and intensive post-production.

Next stop for one of my pinned-up workshops is likely to be New York in September. If you want me to stop off in your town – send me an email!!

If you are a studio owner and want to host, get in touch! Let’s talk!

Here are a couple of the first images worked so far- the lovely Amy:

For my first wedding this year, I asked a good friend of mine, Alison Berk, from Humboldt Canada to fly down to 2nd shoot for me and I can’t wait to see her vision of the day! We also had another good friend, Dawn Schubert from California come up to assist too!!

I’ll be shooting 30 weddings this year – some for my company, Katchlight, and some as a lead associate for Powers Studios and I’m looking forward to every one of them!
