Kate and Howard's Wedding at Local Chapel and Corvallis Country Club

I'm off to a wedding this morning so I don't have a lot of time to talk about Kate and Howard's wedding. I'll just say that it was one of the most emotional/spiritual weddings I've been to in a long time.

The sunset was amazing!




There are two groups of people that can always be counted on for great pictures, cute little kids, and grandmas that aren't afraid to shake it.

Samantha and Nick's Wedding at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral and The Governor Hotel

Most brides are pretty happy on their wedding day, but Samantha could not stop smiling! She kept her beautiful smile on her face the whole day. This is the first Greek Orthodox ceremony I shot and it was a lot of fun. The rituals were so symbolic and interesting. We then headed to The Governor Hotel where the reception was held in the Grand Ballroom. I think the best word to describe the room is elegant. The room was beautifully styled by Kim Foren of Geranium Lake Flowers , who also provided on site coordination. Here are a few of my favorites before the slideshow.

3 Weddings in 3 Days

So I just got home from my third wedding in as many days. Everyone has been asking me if I'm totally exhausted. While my feet are sore and I am a little sleepy, I have to say that I feel totally content. If you can work three 12-16 hour days in a row and still love your job you know you are in the right profession. What a blessing!

The last three weddings were as wonderful as they were unique. Expect a flurry of photos soon. Peace and Love, I'm going to bed. =)

Jaime and Wayne's Wedding at the Oregon Golf Club

Wow! This year I've gotten to see some really great wedding locations across the state. The Oregon Golf Club is a beautifully maintained facility located in West Lynn, Oregon just a few minutes south of Portland. Besides a beautiful backdrop of trees, lawns and roses, they have an amazing permanent tent that is perfect for receptions.

Here are a couple of my favorites before the slideshow...

The Groom's dressing room had these beautiful doors so we kicked the guys out a few minutes early to get this shot.

About 20 minutes before the ceremony it start to rain pretty hard. Everyone was worried, but miraculously things cleared up and all that was left were these amazing clouds.


Ok I didn't actually plan to have a rainbow appear just behind Jaime's head, but one reason I love using a backlight on the reception/dance pictures is because of the unpredictable lens flair that can appear.

OK On to the slideshow. You can hit the play button at the bottom left.

A Floral Affair did the beautiful arrangements.

Melissa and Zak's Wedding at The Resort at the Mountain

A couple weeks ago I had the chance to shoot Melissa and Zak's wedding near Mount Hood. I always love traveling out there because the scenery is just breathtaking. Every where I pointed my camera were beautiful scenic mountains in the background. It's a great place for a wedding and really represents Oregon.

Melissa was super relaxed before getting ready. I like how you can just make out the dress behind her in the window.



I've taken a lot of pictures of flower girls, and they are always so cute. But this one might be my favorite flower girl photo....at least it is at the moment!
