Pete and Meredith's Wedding in Beaverton Oregon

Last Saturday I shot Pete and Meredith's wedding at the Southwest Bible Church in Beaverton. What really impressed me about this wedding was what a great community the church had. Everyone pitched in to help with setting up and cleaning up. The message during the ceremony was really touching and it was fun to hear the stories of "Becket Court Gang" growing up. I actually met Pete and Meredith and Rachel and Brad's wedding and when Pete saw the slideshow I put up at the reception, he decided to come and talk about wedding photography.

Nicole and Ben's Wedding at Zenith Vineyard in Salem Oregon

On October 18th I had a blast shooting Nicole and Ben's wedding up at Zenith Vineyard! Nicole and Ben searched up and down the west coast for the perfect wedding location even going as far south as Napa Valley before finding Zenith. I don't think they we were disappointed! It was a beautiful sunny Saturday and the vineyard was just about to be harvested so we got some great shots with the leaves turning different colors. The happy couple came all the way from Alaska for their perfect weekend and now they are headed off to Tahiti...or was it Fiji...hmmm I can't remember....

ps Ryan Hein , DJ extraordinaire kept the party going, while Jamesjoy Videography was a pleasure to work with as well!

Annie and Jason's Engagement Session in Corvallis

Long time no post! I was so excited to shoot Annie and Jason's engagement session, in part because I have had a little down time and have just been wanting to get back in the swing of things. Anyway, Annie and Jason drove down from Washington to watch the Beavers-Washington State game (if you can call 66-13 a game!) so we shot their engagement session before at Bald Hill. Right away they were so expressive and happy and funny. Even though I've shot at Bald Hill a few times, I really tried to do stretch myself creatively and look for light that would be flattering and then using backgrounds and foregrounds that brought your attention to Annie and Jason.
