What a day it was at Heceta Head last Saturday! The weather was clear and beautiful with just a gentle breeze, no fog or mist coming in off the ocean, warm enough to wander about without a jacket even as evening approached. It was a picture perfect day for Samantha and Frank to be married.

The date was September 9th, the weather was perfect, the bride was exquisite, the groom was rugged movie star handsome, the father of the bride was uninhibited, the meal (catered by Ona Restaurant in Yachats Oregon, was incredible. whew!

The ceremony took place at the on the grounds of the Light keepers Residence also known as the Light House Bed and Breakfast where we started bridal (and Groom) preps in the Mariner Rooms before heading outside to enjoy the weather and the beauty of the Oregon Coast.

This was a small intimate wedding, most of the family and visitors were from somewhere in Texas, not sure of the exact location but Texas isn't THAT big is it? As a matter of fact I'll bet that if you crossed the border into Texas and hollered, "Hey, where is everybody?", the father of the bride would be right there to welcome you, shake your hand and give you a million dollar smile.

This was one of my favorite weddings of the year, Loads of love, enthusiasm and an incredible location, What's not to love about that?

Thanks Sam and Frank for asking us to be your photographers, it was a blast!

Just outside of Rogue River Oregon, Holli and Robert and their family gathered for a wedding celebration staged in a gazebo that they built themselves on a picture perfect creekside property. It was the perfect setting, the perfect day, the perfect couple and the officiant wasn't bad either. This all happened this past weekend, June 3, 2016
We arrived just as the air was warming up to toasty and the sky was a beautiful blue. Out walked Holli, a vision, in this spectacular dress that completely complimented the nature that surrounded us but at the same time made the definite statement, "I am here, now we can begin" in wonderful whimsical sort of way. Of course, Robert was right there too and he looked good.
We did indeed begin, we made some beautiful imagery together. It is so nice to photograph a couple so completely in love.
The ceremony was performed by me. In addition to traditional wedding stuff it included a hand fasting and a unity sand ceremony which was a family affair including their children.
Afterwards the ceremony and the love mob hugs and stuff we created some family portraits.
I am so sure that this will be one of "those" happily ever after stories. Thanks guys for letting us be part of your day.

Jacqueline and Skip were married on Saturday October17th on at an exquisite private home overlooking CoosBay (the actual bay). We had marvelous weather; blue skies with fluffy clouds. Everything was perfect. With the help of many marvelous people, two in particular, we created some art and had a beautiful shoot.

We have photographed many weddings. Some weddings seem like everything that could cause a complication, does. The flowers are wrong. The dress doesn't fit right. Important guests don't show, OR they do show but :thirty minutes late OR thirty more guests that did not RSVP arrive at the last moment. The music might be wrong OR a beginning / teen-DJ-who-lives-next-door plays techno rap all night to a crowd more suited to Sinatra, Crosby and Martin, The cake collapsed, It rained and there was no place for the guests to seek cover. The Best Man / Maid of Honor / member of the bridal party was so drunk that they gave the toast-to-remember of all time, We have seen and photographed it all. So it was wonderfully refreshing last Saturday to shoot a wedding where everything was 'picture perfect', well coordinated, beautiful, felt spontaneous and flowed as smooth as silk.

A big THANK YOU to Liz and Mike Kinzie for opening up their beautiful home for Jacqueliine and Skip's celebration. Liz, you run a flawless event. Everything looked and felt perfect and the flow of events was very natural and smooth.

The ceremony was officiated by Nate Lewis. In addition to being a great officiant, he and his wife own an operate Wild Oats Studios in Coquille, www.WildOatStudios.com . Wild Oats is a vintage clothiing/jewelry resource with hundreds if not thousands of one-of-a-kind items. It's like, well, . . . stepping through the looking glass, . . .

Jacqueline and Skip's DJ, Your Way Sound and Lights, www.facebook.com/djjeffrichey , was truly world-class. He is an MC without equal, well, in the top three that we know of, and we know a LOT of DJs. Jeff kept the party moving, played a great combination of music and was great to work with. Kudo's to Jeff!

It was a marvelous party and a wonderful celebration, Thanks for the great time guys!

Phi and Chad were married last Saturday in one of the most beautiful gardens in the entire state.
They were married in the outdoor sanctuary at the Grotto in southeast Portland. We managed to dodge the weather and had a beautiful ceremony, officiated by Fr. Ignatius, just before the rain started to fall.

After the ceremony we went to the Tiffany Events Center in west downtown Portland to party the night away. There were many excited family and friends ready for the fun to begin, lots of goodies (I noticed that the cupcakes and the chocolate covered oreos were gone even before the cake was cut), a great meal and a rockin DJ that kept the tunes coming and the people moving.

Patrice and I even went out and took our turn on the dance floor, It was just that kind of night!

Thanks guys for a great party!

We did it again! We dodged the rain for a beautiful Oregon Beach Wedding. We do have good beach karma!

Kacy and David were married Saturday September 12, 2015 at Nehalem Bay State Park in Nehalem Oregon. The Ceremony was officiated by your's truly and the party afterwards were attended by a lodgeful of family and friends.

We started out at the Sea Haven Guest House, in Rockaway Beach, where we shot bridal Prep shots and then moved on to the state park. The ceremony was touching and fun with just the right amount of preachy entertainment thrown in to keep people from falling asleep. We then made some art, shooting on the beach, before returning to the lodge for some of the BEST BRISQUET AND BAKED BEANS I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE. The caterer said that the secret ingredient was, "just a splash of Jack, . . ." yumm.

What a nice background for a wedding celebration. Thanks for asking us to shoot your wedding!

It seemed like being back home again at the Ainsworth House and Gardens. It is by far our favorite venue and add to that favorite status; our favorite Officiant: Fr. Kevin Yell, our favorite MC/DJ: Kris Krmpotich and our favorite Wedding Coordinator: Nancy. What a team! What a couple! What a wedding! We made some art last Monday, September 14, 2015 when Sam and Billy were married at the Ainsworth House and Gardens in Oregon City Oregon.

Everything is set up so beautifully for photo ops from the well appointed Bridal Suite to the stately Groom's parlor to the pathways winding through the magnificently landscaped gardens. Just can't say enough about it.

Add to all this perfection a couple who is expressive and uninhibited and, well as Kevin mentions in his ceremony, "it creates magic!"

The ceremony was followed by an adventurous party including a limbo game, a teddy bear toss and a caterer that I have never met before who does delicious things to a piece of meat.

Thank you very much for having us as your photogs. It was a great party!
