There are a few things in life that are perfectly classic: satin pumps, a black sheath, candlelight, pearls. Lovely Emily’s October 24 wedding to the ultra-handsome Nick would fit securely in this category. Before the wedding, Emily and Nick met up briefly in the park, where the fates had unrolled a perfect canopy of fall...

a break for a chuckle….
We haven’t posted much lately because we’ve been crazy busy putting the finishing touches on our updated website, portfolio and blog. While running through some bio images, I came across this silly photo of John and it made me laugh out loud. I thought it was a perfect antidote to the studio stress I’ve been...
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...
some favorite images / contest entries
Both of the professional organizations we belong to conduct quarterly contests. Sometimes we enter, sometimes we don’t. It can be a challenge to look back on the season as ask yourself: “What images are our best?” and also “What images will win a contest?” Sometimes those are two completely different things. When we pick our...
23 photographers, 1 blog
It’s no secret that the local scene of wedding photographers is a friendly and helpful one. Several Portland photogs, like us, belong to local chapters of professional organizations such as WPJA or ISPWP. Others of us just get together regularly to shoot the breeze or have a brew or two. It is these friendly connections...
Vendor shout out–great makeup by Anna Webber
I saw Anna Webber’s makeup at a recent wedding event where we both exhibited. She did the makeup on the models for a bridal fashion show. I was immediately struck by how fresh and pretty her work looked, while still having drama and impact. That’s a hard balance to strike. Striving for pretty, sometimes a...
Wedding planning? Come see us at “The Art of Weddings” Jan 8
If you’re planning your 2009 wedding, you might check out “The Art of Weddings” Boutique Bridal Event. It’s billed as “a swankier kind of bridal show”, which certainly makes sense to me. I expect this to be a fun, stylish event where you can check out a bundle of wedding oriented vendors all at once....
UPDATED: Ann and Brad, October 18, 2008
It’s so great when worlds collide and the circles in life overlap. One of the best things about photographing Ann and Brad’s beautiful wedding was that Ann is a friend of mine and we used to work at the same company. It was a delightful surprise to hear from her that we’d be the ones who...
UPDATED: Angela & Jeremy, Saturday Sept 13th
Best wedding dogs ever! Angela and Jeremy had their two little Boston terriers as wedding attendants (although I don’t think they got to attend the reception.) ohmygosh, they were adorable. Small, too. I was considering putting one in my camera bag, but then thought better of that idea.
Jeremy and Angela are from Colorado, but apparently...
UPDATED: Jennifer & Andy, August 31, 2008
I can’t recall any wedding that was more fun to shoot, or one where I was happier with the images than Jennifer and Andy’s. The whole day was epic and amazing and a blast to photograph. In many ways, it was like a good movie. Great backdrops and plot twists, a lovely leading lady and a devilishly...
