I am so excited about the upcoming 2012 wedding season!  I can’t wait to get to work and learn more about our wedding photography customers this year.  It’s going to be a super year!

The Portland Bridal Show on January 7 and 8 was amazing!

We will be at the Bravo Wedding Affair tomorrow, January 22nd from 11am – 4pm at the Embassy Suites Hotel in downtown Portland.  Stop by and join in this classy wedding event!

 

Abby And Chris – Fall Wedding Extraordinaire

Fall weddings don’t get more beautiful than this.  Abby and Chris had a gorgeous ceremony at the Silvan Ridge Winery in Eugene, OR.  Abby had a unique gown that fit her beautifully, including her personality! This was truly a celebration for Abby and Chris and their family.  There were tears and big smiles and everyone there knew this was a special couple with a special love for one another.  Big congratulations on a beautiful wedding and happy life together.

Megan And DJ Engagement

Megan and DJ tied the knot on August 27th but they were so busy before the wedding they never had a chance to have an engagement session before their wedding.  How lucky am I to have a chance to get to have some one-on-one time with them after their wedding.  They were relaxed and playful and we had a good time.  They are a fun-loving couple who clearly love being with each other.  Here are some of their images from our session…

Nicole And Jim Wedding

Jim and Nicole met while Nicole was still in college and Jim was a recent graduate. They both worked as tellers together at a local bank.  Customers would comment on how funny they were together and how they always loved to work with Jim and Nicole. They formed a quick friendship through their sense of humor and story telling. Later that year, Nicole left on an adventure abroad in Ecuador. She spent her time learning the language, culture and fumbling through a foreign country as an exchange student. She always sent Jim her “lost in translation” stories and cultural misunderstandings that would only happen to her. She spent nearly two years there and during that time, they kept in contact the whole time. When Nicole finally came back to the states to graduate, they reconnected and started spending more and more time together. Jim started to teach Nicole guitar. She started to teach him Spanish, but stopped because he would only retain the bad words:)

Around 4th of July that year, a group of their friends decided to go to San Francisco. When the day arrived to leave on the road trip, it ended up just being Nicole’s roommate, Jim and Nicole – everyone else backed out. They were staying with her roommates uncle so her friend had to spend a bit of time with them while Jim and Nicole went and did their own thing. Long story short, Jim and Nicole both said they liked each other, started dating and have been together ever since! That was three years ago this July!   “We are definitely excited to take the next step and start a new life together.” says Nicole.

Jim and Nicole had a fun wedding full of laughter and friends and family.  The guys wore kilts and were 100% natural underneath those kilts! Here are some images from their special day.
