Lauren and Sam – Portland Engagement photography

MikeLong — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 06:30:01 +0000

Ah – Lauren and Sam!!!

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:

Michelle and Dmitri – Portland Engagement photography

MikeLong — Tue, 25 May 2010 22:08:10 +0000

One of the reasons I love wedding photography is that I get to make cool new friends! Two such people are Michelle and Dmitri. Any engagement session that starts with a couple of beers in a bar has to be good! We had a ton of fun wandering around the Mississippi area of Portland, even if Michelle scraped her leg at the end!

Kiley and Joel – Oregon Wine Country wedding

MikeLong — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 06:49:34 +0000

Just back from the first of a two wedding weekend, and it couldn’t have started better!! After a terrible morning of rain, I was thinking we’d have to break out the umbrellas…but the skies cleared and Kiley and Joel had awesome weather for their wedding out at Aileron Hill. Virtually all their guests had flown up from Kansas for the big day, and it was a relaxed, fun and romantic wedding.

This was another of my weddings shooting for Powers Studios this summer – images used here with kind permission.

Lysa and Mark – Engaged!!

MikeLong — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:19:28 +0000

What? Two engagement posts in the same day? Are you mad Mike?? Nope – just catching up on my processing!! Lysa and Mark flew into Portland for this session – they recently moved to St Louis but will be getting married here in August. We had a wonderful time wandering around the gardens – both naturals for the camera!
