I love wedding flowers! And photographing the bridal bouquet is fun from our perspective because, well, the flowers are so pretty to begin with. Picking out your personal flowers is one of the most enjoyable part of planning your wedding.
Here’s a year’s worth of my favorite flowers from our last season. I loosely named each photo based...

Beach wedding ideas
When months of rain and grey skies make me blue, I like to look back on this sunny wedding in Cannon Beach. Joe and Robin got hitched on a perfect, blue summer afternoon. Their florist constructed a simple bamboo canopy, decorated on each corner with a cluster of orchids, white roses, hypericum berries, grasses and a few...
More simple weddings: Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden
If I was getting married this summer (and I was worried about my budget) I would have a wedding just like the one pictured here. What I appreciated about this wedding was that it was both simple and elegant. It downplayed the formalities and instead emphasized the conviviality of the celebration.
Jennifer’s dress and flowers were...
color story: purple & green
You would never know from looking at these photos that is was acually 105 degrees on Brian and Stephanie’s wedding day at the Waverly Golf Club. Everyone looks so fresh and unwilted. It’s a darn good thing there are not any pics of John and I, since we were both looking seriously wilted. The color...
color story: red with orange
Check out the great colors from this September wedding in Portland. All the warm colors were there: red, orange, yellow, tangerine. It was like all of summer’s vibrant palette in one big dose of fabulosity. The venue was the Sculpture Garden at the Portland Art Museum. We’ve shot events there before, but never had we...
Let’s talk about money, #2
Here’s a second post on the financial aspects of planning your wedding. I’m a big advocate of the idea that there are scads of inexpensive ways to have a stylish and meaningful wedding. Consider Jennifer and Eric. Shortly before their wedding, they were able to purchase a wonderful home. Although it was a huge amount...
Let’s talk about money
Who isn’t thinking about their finances right now? It seems that nearly everyone is ready to reconsider how they spend their money. Especially if you’re getting married. For the last several years it seems like a big, blowout wedding was something most every couple felt entitled to. But I wonder if maybe that’s changing?
The good...
Color inspiration: pink
I’m still swooning from the decor at this wedding. It’s definitely the prettiest set up I’ve ever seen at the Oregon Golf Club. Here’s some of the details straight from Amanda’s mom, who oversaw the details of this lovely event.
First, they replaced the black rear wall pipe and drape with white drape and an overlay...
Chelsea Fuss*
This morning we spent some time with Chelsea Fuss, shooting some floral still life ideas that she pulled together. Chelsea is a terrifically talented florist and event designer. She’s also the author of {frolic}, which is the grooviest design blog. I like to dip in when I’m feeling soggy. Her light, bright aesthetic is an...
Flowers + Guys = Sexy
It’s that crazy counterpoint of flowers and manliness that is cool about a guy in a boutonneire. A man in his wedding flowers is downright sexy. (Don’t tell anyone that I said that. I ought to keep these things to myself.) Here’s some of my fav flowers from the season. Maybe you’ll get some great...
