I still remember the day that we photographed our first wedding. Looking back, there was so much to learn. Being a wedding photographer means being in five different places and moments, all at the same time, and it’s daunting when you first step into those shoes. But there are moments that seem as though I...

Sara & Brian’s Wedding in the beautiful Yakima Valley
Sara and Brian found us through the magic of the internet last fall and I am so incredibly grateful that they did! They live in Seattle and we got to meet them a few times throughout the ensuing months, and they were so lovely that we were really excited when it came time to finally...
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,...
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...
Ron and Lindsey • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers
Rob and Ryan photographed Ron and Lindsey’s wedding earlier this month at the McMenamin’s Cornelius Pass Roadhouse, one of our very favorite venues. Ron and Lindsey are a really sweet couple, the kind of people that instantly make you feel at ease the moment you meet them. They had a beautiful ceremony in the wedding...
It all begins somewhere… • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers
We never planned to become photographers. It was just a passion that took us somewhere. That theme, it seems, is true of so much of our story. It all began nearly thirteen years ago when my husband was bold enough to ask me on a date. We had no idea that we would become an...
Meegan and Levant • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers
At last, the long awaited addition of Meegan and Levant to our blog! We photographed their wedding on an absolutely gorgeous day at the Oregon Coast a couple of weeks ago. Truly, the day could not have been more perfect. Meegan and Levant have been best friends since college and, to hear their friends and...
TJ and Cherie • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers
We photographed TJ and Cherie’s wedding earlier this month at the picturesque Green Villa Barns in Independance, Oregon. The gardens there are amazing and are surrounded by corn and wheat fields, which are of course a photographer’s paradise. And TJ and Cherie? Well, they couldn’t be more perfect. They are such sweet couple, so incredibly...
Erin and Gus • Portland Oregon Engagement and Wedding Photographers
Our associates, Rob and Ryan, will be photographing Gus and Erin’s wedding later this summer and I have to say that I’m a little bit jealous. Gus and Erin are my favorite kind of couple– creative, free-spirited, and fabulously gorgeous. They’re having their ceremony at the Portland Rhododendron Gardens, which is sure to be absolutely...
