I'm unsure if this was her first big day wearing earrings but she was definitely feeling a way about it.

I always love when couples write letters to each other and read them during getting ready. It's a great experience for the couples, and it creates a perfect opportunity to capture genuine, meaningful emotional reactions.

How have I not posted more images from this session? One of my absolute favorites and a little different from the more outdoorsy fare I usually do. Tony and Taylor live in LA but used to live in Portland where their relationship started. While visiting Portland over the summer, Tony came up with an excuse to visit their old apartment and they "snuck in". Tony actually arranged someone to act as if they were leaving the building so they could enter. He then later proposed in their old apartment. The next day we shot their engagement session there and at the Oyster Bar and the Eastbank Esplanade. They wanted their shoot to have a more lifestyle vibe, which was a welcome challenge, and I love how the images turned out. Super fun shoot!

I never thought I was a under-the-veil shot kind of wedding photographer, but what can I say, when it hits, it hits.

Alex and John’s vows were the best ever. They read funny texts messages they had sent to each other over the course of their relationship coordinating takeout food from classy restaurants such as McDonalds. Nothing exemplifies a rock solid relationship like foraging teamwork!

As much as I love capturing epic portraits of couples on their wedding day, my personal favorite images are those real moments that tell a simple story or capture a behind-the-scenes element of the day. They may not be the most perfect images with the best lighting or clean framing, but that's not really the point. It's more about capturing the feeling of the day. Here we have Gordon making a comical attempt to sneak past his bride, Andrea, without her seeing him with the clothes that he had forgotten in her room while she was having her makeup done. I love how this image captures their dynamic and personalities by finding the humor in eschewing normal wedding tradition and convention. These kinds of moments for me are diamonds in the rough, as they are fleeting and require constant attention to capture. It's kind of like playing Tetris with the pieces zipping by, and adjusting settings and angles is like changing the orientation of the blocks. Sometimes you mess up the orientation or miss the moment, just missing the perfect placement. Other times you nail the rotation and slot the piece in perfectly and you clear five lines. Nailing a moment kind of feels like that.

For some reason, I've always been averse to posting black and whites here, only because my borderline obsessive compulsiveness wants my grid to be consistent. Should we post more black and whites in 2024? 🤔

I just delivered Morgan and Brit's wedding about a week ago, but this incoming winter weather has me reminiscing about their snowy Timberline Lodge engagement session on Mt Hood last winter.

This is one of the most tender moments I've photographed as a wedding photographer. During speeches, the father of the bride was emotionally struggling to get through his speech and both of his daughters got up to embrace and support him.

It took some encouragement and a little bit of risk to walk down a steep gravel hill in heels to get to this spot but we just barely caught the sunset popping off. I’d do it again! What do you think and ?

I’m in the home stretch wrapping up the last couple jobs of the year and thankful I got to work with these two cuties today. One more engagement up on Mt Hood to go and then I get to focus on some extra exciting developments in the works.
