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 […]

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 […]

When I arrived, Christine’s dad was working on renovating the old barn on the property.

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 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 […]
