Christy and Chris – Portland Wedding Photography – Bridal Veil Lakes

July 26, 2010

We’re deep into wedding season now! I’ve just finished up 3 weddings in 3 days!!!

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!

Elisa and Joe – Portland Wedding Photography

June 3, 2010

First wedding of what is going to be a very busy year!! Meet Elisa and Joe, two great friends of mine, and I was lucky enough to be asked to capture their wedding at the UP chapel, and then the fun at Urban Studio in downtown Portland.

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!

Michelle and Dmitri – Portland Engagement photography

May 25, 2010

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!

Fave shots of the day:

Fun in the Canadian Sun

February 5, 2010

We had some time in Humboldt, Canada, to mess around and play. Our hostess, Alison Berk, wanted to experiment with a technique called ‘off camera flash’ which is where you fire a remote flash to balance with the sun – something I use at weddings all the time.

These shots then are kind of jointly made by myself, Alison and Andy!

James Vs Reality

October 27, 2009

My make-up artist, the fabulous Hollie Olsen (available for any make-up services including bridal: Celebrity Spa Services ) is also an actress. She’s staring in a terrific new short due next year, about a guy convinced he’s a super hero and can save the World.

Trailer here:

James Vs Reality

She asked if I could come to the set (an old abandoned hospital) and take a shot of the cast in character….I’d love to!! After we did the main group shot, I had each of them pose as singles again in character.

Here is the group, Hollie and ‘Rufus’ – the mad janitor! More to come, and this isn’t the final processing yet – just testing. The final DVD cover will probably be more fun!
