Dawn and Stormy's Wedding in Philomath, Oregon

Man do I love the Willamette Valley! Every summer I shoot at new places that I haven't shot at before. Each place is unique and beautiful. Dawn and Stormy's wedding was no exception. Their ceremony was in this beautiful setting tucked into a clearing with huge oak trees providing nice shade and perfect soft light.



Dawn found me through Shane and Danni whose wedding I shot 3 years ago. Shane and Danni were in the wedding party and it was really nice to see them again. I've been doing this long enough that sometimes when I go to a wedding I'll recognize 3-4 couples from other weddings I've shot. I think it really helps me blend in a little more like a friend with a nice camera rather than an intrusive photographer.

Joanna and Jay's Wedding at the Portland Art Museum

Jay and Joanna's wedding was one I will not soon forget.




First, the beautiful bride was prepped by Baruk and Fong of the Dosha Salon and Spa. One thing I appreciate about shooting weddings is the chance to see other artists at work.





Voila!


While every one was busy getting ready, Mike and his team at An Affair to Remember not only set up the Portland Art Museum for a beautiful ceremony, they flipped the room during the cocktail hour to accommodate the guests while Vibrant Table served dinner.




Then the real party began. The Swinging Cubs (an eight piece band) were rocking! The dance floor was so crowded it was hard to maneuver around to take pictures.




At one point, one of the band's singers came down and led the party. By this time it was all I could do to keep from ditching my camera and joining in the fun.

Catherine and Cory's Wedding in Salem at the Viticulture Center

Wow. So I'm thinking the above shot might be my best of the year. What do you think?
Cory and Catherine's wedding day started with a little anxiety. Good old Oregon rain poured down all morning making us all nervous. But as I tell brides who are having an outdoor wedding, every bride should pray for rain in the morning because it makes for AMAZING clouds in the afternoon. That is exactly what happened. The rain stopped the clouds parted and right around sunset we went into the vineyard to take some of my favorite pictures of the year.


This is the view that the guests had right before the ceremony.


This little hill in the vineyard gave me the chance for a pretty nice angle on the group shots.

I really love the look in Catherine's eyes in this one.

Ok Enjoy the slideshow below and as always you can view these pictures and become a fan of Becerra Photography on Facebook.

Bridal Show at The Resort on The Mountain on Sept. 13th

Hey for all of the brides out there considering The Resort at the Mountain as a venue, Becerra Photography will have a booth at their bridal show on Sept. 13th. Kim and Cedric whose wedding I shot a few weeks ago will be representing me there. You can come see prints, albums, videos, and talk first hand with Kim and Cedric about their experience with Becerra Photography. I can't be there because I will be shooting a wedding that day, but I strongly recommend checking out the beautiful venue and stopping by our booth!

Steve and Nicole Wagner

This dynamic duo not only can not only make you look great on your wedding day, they can get in front of the camera and show you how it's done. Stay tuned for more of the Wagners (and their two cutie-pies, Ericka and Megan) in a couple weeks.

Photobooth!

An additional detail of Kim and Cedric's wedding was that they ordered a photobooth! Kim and Cedric asked if I could put something together for them where we could take their guest's pictures photobooth-style and print them there at the wedding so that the guests could then sign their picture as a guest book. It was so much fun and such a great idea that I made sure that we could get it done. We ended up taking the pictures and getting combining them on a 4x6 layout and then printing them in about 45 seconds. I'm so glad that Kim and Cedric asked me to do the service because the pictures are great and I think it helped to create some fun memories. Sooooooo Becerra Photography now officially offers a photobooth service available to add a la carte to any wedding package. Contact me for the details and pricing. And enjoy some of the more ummmm... "G" Rated pictures!

Kim and Cedric's Wedding at Paradise Springs

August 29th 2009 was day I'd been waiting for for a long time. Primarily because after shooting Kim and Cedric's engagement session they were so outgoing and fun-loving that I knew their wedding would be a blast. Also this is the first wedding I've shot at Paradise Springs in Monroe, Oregon and I have to say it is a VERY impressive venue. The photo possibilities are endless and the details and craftsmanship of the reception are rarely seen. You can see why even though Kim and Cedric are from Portland, they came down south for a mini-destination wedding. If you are a Portland bride and groom that kind of want to get away from the noise of the city, but don't want to go half way around the world, this is the place.


Anyway, enough typing. Onto the pictures!



Since Cedric is from France, they incorporated many French traditions in the wedding. The cake on the left is a french wedding cake, and man was it good! Those little pastries were honey glazed with a cream filling.

Now that you're all craving French pastries, you can feast your eyes on their slideshow.
