Darryl and Marce’t were married on a beautiful fall day at St. Andrews Chapel in Southeast Portland. The wedding ceremony was so sweet and rich with a deep gratitude of their love and life together. After the ceremony we were blessed with some gorgeous early evening light which was perfect for the family photographs. The reception celebration that followed was held at Amadeus Manor in Milwaukie. During our time with Marce’t we learned that her favorite word is “Love” and it truly was a day filled with love. There was a terrific bond of love and respect between Darryl and Marce’t and all their friends and family. Brandon and I truly enjoyed sharing and capturing their special day!


































































































































I got to spend what could have been the last beautiful day of Fall (Nov. 4th) with Cora and Robert at Cathedral Park in Portland, Oregon. We were there for their Engagement photo session and it was a gorgeous day in the shadow of one of the most beautiful bridges in the Northwest, St. Johns Bridge.
As proof that opposites attract, Robert is an Oregon Duck and Cora is an Oregon State Beaver. Civil War will definitely be interesting in their household. Sorry Cora, but I will be with Robert in rooting for the Ducks in December. I don’t know if you know it but you hired an Oregon grad.
I am looking forward to their coming wedding on June 26th, 2010 at Lawrence Art Gallery in Portland’s hip and urban Pearl District. Bring on the summer!

When you are getting ready to photograph a wedding and the weather report is showing thunderstorms, you start to get a little nervous. Especially when you know the bride and groom are getting married at Elk Cove Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and they are hoping to have it outside among the breathtaking views of the vineyard. Well, our fears blew off with the morning clouds and it turned into a lovely day for an outdoor wedding ceremony. Joanna and Dow were married outside on a beautiful sun drenched day in the presence of their friends and family (and the grapes, of course). The reception was held in the Roosevelt room where the Elk Cove Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris wine were flowing, along with the conversations, cheer, and stories. It was a special day for the bride and groom and all involved. These wedding photographs hopefully tell the story of their day.
Congratulations Joanna and Dow on your marriage and best wishes for the journey you are beginning together.
































We will be posting some of the wedding ceremony and reception photographs very soon. Please check back!
