Below is an extensive list of tips and suggestions to prepare you for your wedding. They are made with photography in mind but they also extend to other areas of the wedding day. Admittedly, the list is long, so if it looks overwhelming I still highly encourage reading the title of each to get the […]

As I drove to Black Butte Ranch to photograph Cassie and Erich’s wedding, rain was in the forecast and the clouds hung low in the sky. But upon arrival I was greeted with the most wonderful rainbow streaking through the sky and falling right beyond the meadows at Black Butte Ranch. I took this as […]

Misti and Siobhana said their vows at Cathedral Park and later hosted their reception at the North Star Ballroom, now known as Polaris Hall. They are the type of couple that just radiate love for each other and for everyone around them. Rarely did I see them without a smile on their faces, not just […]

Sara and Kevin’s wedding at Mt View Orchards was absolutely beautiful. Not only was the weather spot on, but Mt View Orchards is an idyllic picturesque venue. Sitting near the base of Mt Hood, the Mt View Orchards has all manner of fruits hanging from limbs and vines and colorful flowers sprouting up from the […]

I photographed Christine and Kyle’s engagement session last fall at Christine’s family farm in Woodland, Washington. When I arrived, Christine’s dad was working on renovating the old barn on the property. They plan to incorporate some of the barn wood into their wedding day decorations, which I think is a great idea, because the existing […]

Before Jenna and Joe’s wedding at The Croft Farm on Sauvie Island, I spent an hour with Joe and his guys at a trendy local Portland barbershop called Cloak & Dagger. Along with their fresh shaves, Joe and his guys also got whiskey shots to loosen up before the day got under way. It was […]

Afterward we drove over to Alberta Street for the remainder […]

Meghan and Zach’s wedding at Wind Mountain Ranch was on an unforgettable day. On my way to the wedding, as I drove along the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge a grey haze was accumulating on the Oregon side and slowly drifting across the river.
