Smith Rock is one of my favorite locations for photographing engagement sessions. The landscape is seriously epic. It’s also very accessible, and you don’t have to hike a bajillion miles to get amazing views. During our initial meeting, Zarina and Chris told me how they had gotten engaged on a mountaintop in the Dolomites. I […]

Morgan and Lee hosted their wedding at Roshambo Artfarm in Sheridan, Oregon, one of the cooler venues I’ve photographed a wedding at this year. Every structure and decoration at the farm appears to be some kind of found object piece of artwork. The vibe of Roshambo Artfarm reminds me of a mini Oregon Country Fair, […]

There were many amazing, hilarious moments during Sarah and Dan’s backyard wedding at the Historic Overlook House, but two in particular stood out to me. The first involved Dan’s best man, Ryan, and a foldable picnic table. Dan and many of his friends are Buffalo Bills fans, and there is apparently a ridiculous tradition of […]

We arranged to connect at a little country store, the only one around for miles, just in case we were to miss each other for some reason at the trail they had chosen. I […]
