Jennifer and Andrew's Wedding at the Oregon Coast

I was so glad to shoot Jennifer and Andrew's wedding last week. While I've shot weddings on the Oregon Coast before, I haven't shot a wedding were the actual ceremony was on the beach. There are so many things that logistically go into a beach wedding that I would seriously recommend hiring a wedding coordinator if you are thinking about it Mandi Downs from Champagne Wedding and Event Coordination not only coordinated this wedding but styled the reception site with an amazing attention to detail.


One of the things I loved about this wedding were the expressions on peoples faces,
From emotional....


to hysterical....

to just pretty dang excited.... People were having a good time.


Enjoy the slideshow!

and as always on Facebook.

A day off

I don't know if you've noticed lately, but I've been pretty busy. This summer has been amazing, and I'm so glad that I've had the opportunity to get to know so many great couples by shooting there weddings. However, this weekend is the only one from June through September that I'm not shooting a wedding so of course I wanted to spend my time playing with my kids.






Today Sofia told my she wanted to make a "flying princess hat" out of a cup. So we did!

I love my little girl. She is growing up way too fast.

Jay and Joanna's Engagement Session in Corvallis

Jay and Joanna, drove across the country just for their engagement session....well ok they also have decided to move to Portland but they did drive from there (Portland) to meet me in downtown Corvallis for some fun shots. Stay tuned because their wedding is coming up pretty soon!

Stephanie and Derek's Wedding at Zenith Vineyard

Last Sunday I finished the third wedding of the weekend at one of my very favorite locations, Zenith Vineyard. Sure I was tired afterward, but Derek and Stephanie made the day a lot of fun. (The shot above has no photoshop by the way. The sunset was that color straight out of the camera.)

One thing that is great about shooting at Zenith is the rooms to get ready in have huge windows that pour in natural soft light.
This first shot of Derek totally reminds me of something you'd see in a James Bond movie.


Did I mention it was hot last weekend? The guys had a few tricks to stay cool.


Stephanie got sprayed too, unfortunately I don't think hairspray is as refreshing.





The first dance....


Zenith has a great projection system for the reception slideshow. Here Derek and Stephanie are looking at pictures from earlier in the day. Their guests loved it too! They were literally cheering as each picture appeared.


Ok onto the slideshow!

P.S. Molli at Soiree (http://www.bonsoiree.com) provided the event coordination. Look her up, she's great!

Cliff and Kelly's Wedding at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and the Secret Society Ballroom and Lounge

When I met Cliff and Kelly over a year ago, their smiles were infectious. Because of a family emergency I had to meet with them while taking care of my son who was sick with an eye infection. Gabriel was crying and whimpering and I thought to myself, "There is no way this couple will book me." But Cliff and Kelly just kept smiling as we talked and we took a walk outside to calm Gabriel down. Well needless to say they did decide to book me as their wedding photographer and I'm so glad! Their wedding day was filled with what can only be described as pure joy. I bet you can't look at their pictures without smiling too!

Molly and Pete's Wedding at the Eugene Country Inn

When Molly decided that she was going to school in Oregon, Pete who is from the midwest suddenly had a new favorite state. Looking at their pictures it is not hard to see why. I started off a wedding triathlon last weekend with Molly and Pete's wedding at the Country Inn in Eugene.
