Over the last several months we’ve been thinking about weddings here at RLPStudios. (Full disclosure: I’ve been subscribing to Martha Stewart Weddings since the inaugural issue. But I digress). We photographed a lot of weddings last season and had an amazing time. We noticed something, though, along the way: with our portrait clients, we’re able...

Josh & Emily’s Military Wedding at the Abernethy Center
A month and a day ago, RLP Studios photographed what was one of the most fun, lively, emotional, and lovely events of our studio’s history: the wedding of Emily Brock Jones and Josh Jones. We had met them as we do many of our couples, through an online wedding resource, but their situation was a...
Four questions to ask BEFORE hiring a wedding photographer
(This article is originally from an industry website that featured Mark Greenstone of Majestic Photography. His points were just too perfect not to share.) “Mark,” I ask, pen poised over my notebook, “if I’m looking for a wedding photographer, what questions should I ask?” Mark looks thoughtful. “Couples are mostly asking the right questions,” he...
Perri & Corey’s Waterfront/Eastbank Esplanade Engagement Session
I love the location of our SE Portland studio. It’s right in the midst of the industrial district, with so many fun backgrounds that I can easily walk within a 20 block radius and find something fun! But one of the things that I love best is that the Willamette River is so close. Corey,...
How to look your best in photographs • Portland Oregon Photographers
One of my good friends, Charlotte Geary is a wedding and portrait photographer in Manitou Springs, Colorado. She posted this on her blog today and it was such great advice (and worded so wittily, in typical Charlotte style) that I just had to repost it for our clients. This is a must-read before any kind...
Erin and Gus • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers
I love the hub-bub of weddings, the nervous anticipation, the beautiful moments when two become one. Erin and Gus’ wedding was one of those days when everything comes together perfectly, in all it’s imperfectness, to create a truly beautiful couple. Erin had been quite sick leading up to the wedding with some flu bug or...
Carolyn & Bryce • Portland Oregon Engagement Photographers
Our engagement sessions are an integral part of our process– we get used to you, you get used to us, and together we make beautiful images that last not just for the wedding but as a record that at one point, you were just a couple in love. We always choose a location that really...
Krysta Unveiled • Portland Oregon Photographers
We photographed all of the consultants for Charlotte’s Weddings and More a few weeks ago, and then last week Will got to take Krysta, the owner of the salon, to the amazing Hotel de Luxe for her private session. Krysta had a great time playing dress-up and Katherine at Event Cosmetics made her look even...
Introducing the Charlotte’s Weddings consultants
I’m so excited to finally unveil these photos! This project has been a few months in the making: Krysta McLaughlin of Charlotte’s Weddings and More approached us and asked us to update their “Meet The Consultants” page. We tossed around a bunch of ideas and knew that we’d struck gold when we decided to photograph...
Meegan and Levant • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers
Meegan and Levant will be married this summer on the beach at one of our favorite locations (the Surfsand Resort at Cannon Beach), but unlike most of the couples who choose us as their photographers, we’d never actually met them until this last weekend! They live in Seattle and ventured down to do some wedding...
