This wedding was a splendid experience all the way through to delivering Scott and Danielle’s album, from which I’ve included some of my favorite pages. I thought it’d be fun to see some of the photos on their own, and then as they fit into the story telling aspect of a wedding album.
Here are the people behind all the great work in making Scott and Danielle’s wedding day so great:

Getting ready venues:  The Governor Hotel and the 12W
Wedding venue:  St. Mary’s Cathedral
Reception venue:  Portland Golf Club
Wedding gown:  Anna’s Bridal
Music:  …

This is one of my all time favorite sets of portrait photos and it’s from a Central Oregon wedding! Combine Sunriver, with great sunny fall weather, vibrant fall colors and Ben & Adrianne’s magazine appeal, and we were bound to get photos like these. Have a favorite? Pick one and let everyone know in the comments!
You can see their wine tasting engagement photos too.

This Oregon coast wedding took place in Cannon Beach.  Of course, with Haystack Rock as the backdrop in many of these pictures, I probably didn’t need to tell you that!
Matt & Erin’s wedding started with some heavy showers.  Okay, they were absolute downpours!  Check out the photos of guests huddled under their umbrellas, that is if their umbrella hadn’t blown inside out.    Partway through their ceremony, the clouds broke and we had some amazing light and scenery for photos.
I think my absolute favorite photo is the vertical one …

Happy New Year everyone! Or is that just a euphemism for “welcome back to your desk?”
Are you looking for a venue with a view? If so, aYoungberg Hill Vineyards wedding will definitely deliver.
As a wedding photographer, one thing I really appreciate about the venue is that there is a scenic backdrop in every direction. So what does that mean? No squints in your portraits because the sun can always be put at your back and you’ll still have an amazing background! You’ll notice …

These are a few of my favorite photos from a downtown Portland wedding last year at the Embassy Suites Hotel.  It was a winter wedding just before Christmas and it was fun to see that influence on all the details.  Dani Ross, owner of Weddings Fresh, did an amazing job making that happen…from wintry edibles (chocolate everywhere!) to ornaments as seating place cards.  Nicole’s dress was absolutely beautiful too including a fur shoulder wrap which was perfect for such a cold day.  But of course, one shouldn’t expect anything less …

Here in the Northwest, it gets a bit rainy…just a bit. I decided to post something bright and sunny and trick my mind into thinking I’m at this wedding right now! In fact, thinking about the whole trip involved for this wedding, it was like a mini vacation for my brain. I hope it works for all of you too!
Robin and Brian were married at Brian’s parents beach home on Alamitos Bay in Naples, CA. I had great help from a friend of …

Ben and Anna were married at St. Mary’s Cathedral and celebrated with friends and family at The Tiffany Center. Both of these locations have a common but very different trait…light! St. Mary’s Cathedral is bright and crisp. It’s a very clean look. On the other hand, The Tiffany Center is rich and dark, but has amazing window light that provides a moody glow.
Some of these photos were taken in front of Ben and Anna’s new home. I loved the way the classic Rolls Royce fit …

Get comfy! There are lot of photos in this one! Mandy and Evan were married near Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, WA. It was an extended weekend loaded with fun and I was fortunate to be a part of the whole thing.
Thursday consisted of an early evening BBQ followed by a late night bonfire near the water on Westcott Bay. Friday started with a basketball tournament and some tennis. After the rehearsal, Mandy’s sister, Katie, kicked things up a notch for everyone with an …
