New Website

It's more than a new website, it's a new way to document weddings. Video and Photography in a seamless integration is now available from Becerra Photography. For the past two years I've dreamed of providing brides and grooms with a complete documentation of their wedding. Now brides and grooms can have the confidence of having using Becerra Photography for not only their photography, but videography as well. Check out the new website here.

To Tweet or not Tweet, that is the question

So a friend of mine talked me into a twitter account. @becerraphoto. We'll see how it goes...

Mandi and Ian's Wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing

Who says you have to get married in August? Mandi and Ian had a beautiful winter wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing. Mandi and Ian were so bubbly and fun I knew that no matter how cold it was outside their pictures would have a warm welcoming feel.

As the bride was getting ready I felt like I hadn't got a real dynamic portrait yet, and so I sent her into the closet and turned off all the lights. I love the dramatic affect that we got from these two shots.













We even got some blue skies! It was a little chilly so we shot some pictures and ran inside, shot some pictures and ran inside.


A little Becerra Backlighting to always adds some drama.


And on to the slideshow! Enjoy!

Oregon State vs. Oregon

Ok so the Beavers didn't quite pull out the victory. You'd never know it from looking at the pictures I took though!

Shute Family Shoot

Sorry for the title of this blog post. I couldn't resist! I had a VERY quick 10 minute photo session with the Shute family as they were all home for Thanksgiving, and this was my favorite shot. Happy (late) Thanksgiving!

Abby and Jacob's Wedding and the Portland, Oregon LDS Temple

Hey everyone! Just because it's a little colder outside, doesn't mean this isn't the perfect time of year for a wedding. Abby and Jacob were married in Portland last saturday and it was just a really beautiful day. The sun came out for about 15 minutes and we really made the most of it. At the LDS temple in portland, photography is not allowed inside the building, but the outside is simply stunning and a great place for photographs.

Becerra Photography Workshop

Hey Everyone! I announced this in the summer but had a hard time getting a time for it to work. Many of you have contacted me about doing a workshop and teaching people how to use their cameras to get better pictures is something I am very passionate about. Part of the great thing about Becerra Photography is that I get the chance to capture people's most precious moments. Now I want to help people capture their lives by teaching them photography skills that will last a lifetime. So here are the details!

Saturday #1 (November 28th, 8:00 am - 12:00pm)

The Basics: This workshop answers the age-old-question, "What are all these buttons for?" I go over the fundamentals of creating great pictures. We go over how to manually control your exposure on your camera and also the basics of composition.

Then there is a week break where we all practice and share what we learn on a workshop flickr account. I'll comment on the pictures that you take throughout the week.

Saturday #2 (December 5th, 8:00 am -12:00pm)
Applied Basics: This workshop shows how to really apply the things that we learned in the first workshop to photography that you are interested in. Whether it is flowers, people, landscapes, sports, etc. We'll learn how to shoot it, and what equipment to use.


The charge for both workshops together is $100, and our class would be limited to 8 people. The workshop will be at my home in Corvallis.

If you are in need of a digital camera or looking to purchase one, I have 4 cameras that can be used at the workshop that you can try out for free.

I hope to see you there! Space is limited so if you'd like sign up let me know soon!

Oregon State University vs. Washington

I got to shoot the OSU shellacking of Washington last Saturday. It was great because it was the last home game for the Seniors and they were very emotional before the game as they were introduced.







Quiz Rodgers played a great game as usual, but the offensive line is what really impressed me. Look at that hole they opened up for him!
