After a six-month hiatus from blogging I’m back with Naomi and Nick’s Zenith Vineyard Wedding. I really wish I could have posted their wedding photographs, along with many others months ago, but I took on several more weddings than I have in previous years, which was great because I got to work with so many […]

One of the most touching parts of Annie and Mitch’s wedding at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond, Oregon, was early in the day when Annie invited over for brunch all of the important women in her life. During that time, Annie explained to all of them how much they meant to her and how they […]

One thing that I love about photographing weddings at the Oregon Garden Resort in Silverton, Oregon, is that there is absolutely no shortage on color. Color has always been so important to my photography, both in the capture and in the edit, and when I have so many beautiful flowers to work with at the Oregon […]

I’d been looking forward to Meghan and Zach’s engagement session at Mt Rainier for a long time. Meghan and I actually went to the same high school and college, and Meghan likes to often bring up the hilarious fact that we used to swing dance together an awful lot during school dances back when Zoot […]

Kate and Hans were married at Rebers Riverside down a long gravel road in the middle-of-nowhere Yamhill. It’s the type of place where the local farmers and ranchers fly in on their personal airplanes for Sunday brunch because it makes more sense than driving. That’s quite literally what a maintenance man told me. Rebers Riverside […]

Photographing their friends and family on the dance floor was a highlight of the day. Their moves were so good! But before the reception got underway, there was tons of other good stuff, too. The […]

The location of Karmen and Daniel’s engagement session had the most amazing wildflower varietals, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. We started the session on the dirt road that led to their friends’ off-grid farm where they harvest their own water and electricity. The farm comes complete with llamas and chickens, and it […]

For the first part, I met them in Odell near Hood River, and we began the session at Katie’s grandfather’s old barn before going to Lost Lake. The property it’s […]

I began coordinating with Kyle a few weeks before he planned to propose to Morgan. I found out that they had been dating long distance, and she was due to visit him in Portland where he’s working for the summer. Kyle wanted the perfect location for the proposal and after scouring Portland he finally opted […]

Today, I bring you Mia and Chris’ Smith Rock engagement session. Smith Rock State Park is so out-of-this-world beautiful. How nature came up with it is beyond me. Smith Rock has been another location I’ve been wanting to photograph an engagement session at for a while. It’s been on a long list that I’ve been […]

A friend of mine who also happens to be a wedding photographer told me about Horsethief Butte last year, and I’ve had been meaning to shoot an engagement session out there ever since. It’s a bit of a drive, located out by the Dalles on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, so finding […]

Emily and Orion’s wedding at the Laurelhurst Club next to Laurelhurst Park was a lot of fun to photograph because the bride and groom have such an amazing, creative community of friends and family who generously dedicated their time to making their wedding a reality. Every person involved in the setup and execution from the […]
