About our blog

People say to me all the time: “You're so lucky. You get to go to weddings all the time." They're right. We are lucky. We get to be among people having a great time, looking and feeling their best and participating in what is often the most important day in someone's life.

Here’s the other thing we are lucky to see: the terrific style and creativity that our clients bring to their celebrations. If there is one thing we’ve learned while photographing weddings, it is that a wedding doesn’t have to be expensive to be lovely. We dedicate our blog to sharing the terrific ideas that we’ve seen before and will see this coming season, with a focus on ideas that are simple, elegant and stylish.

All these images are the work of us or our associate photographers from events we've photographed. So, we say "thank you" to our clients who have shared their warmth and happiness with us. 


About John & Theresa Valls

Because we love to travel, we photographed our first wedding together in exchange for two plane tickets to Europe. That was our original plan: we'd photograph a wedding or two, basically just enough to underwrite our love of italian food eaten in Italy. What we hadn't counted on, however, was how much we would grow to love everything about shooting and working together.

John's wedding photography is influenced by his advertising work with agencies, companies and magazines he shoots for. Avoiding an overly-produced style for his photos, John's images reflect his light touch as well as his ability to capture what is descriptive, yet beautiful.

My background in design management helps us create wedding albums that are both contemporary and timeless. I'm an avid believer in the strength of a killer edit, so I work with our clients to compile a photo selection that will meaningful and satisfying 25 years in the future.

You know the standing joke, right? What’s the weather for Rose Parade? Rain!
 When we met Suzanne at our studio and she told us that her wedding was planned for June 9th, among my first questions was “what’s the rain plan?” If you’ve ever been to Bridal Veil Lakes (one of the best places on earth)...

Some moody fashion for Aubergine

June 5, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized, dresses

 
Recently John photographed some fashion pics for the Portland boutique, Aubergine. The store carries clothing with a modern sensibility and sophisticated edge. Typically we don’t share our commercial work on our wedding style blog, but one of these dresses would have made a marvelous wedding dress. It was this one:

The cool thing about this dress was that...
