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. 

 

UPDATED: Larissa and John, November 28th at the Beach

The fact that it was cold and foggy outside made John and Larissa’s wedding celebration in Cannon Beach feel especially cozy. The small, wood-paneled church made a lovely setting for the ceremony, which was officiated by a family friend. Larissa was a beautiful & glowing bride and John the mellowest groom ever.

After the ceremony, our plan was to spend some time on the beach for photos with just John and Larissa. I feared the crazy wind and icy temps would throw a wrench in the plan. But no, these two were totally game. The tides had changed the beach access making John and Larissa wade across a little stream to get to the sand. I’m so glad they had the spirit to do this because the photos from this time are just wonderful.

Congrats to you both on your wedding. Thanks for having us along on such a sweet, fun and loving day. And thanks to you, Rob, for being the awesome photographer you are. Well done!
