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.

sneak peekI’m thrilled to my toes about these photos that we’ve just received from our #1 associate team who were with Madeline and Walker at their August 8th wedding at the Town Club in Portland. The day was perfectly beautiful, so the couple married outdoors on the cool, green lawn. I’ve enjoyed sifting through the photos, learning some of the details about the day.

Madeline’s uncle officiated the ceremony, which was warm, personal and joyful. Some of my favorite images are during the ceremony, with Madeline and Walker turning to face their guests bubbling with bright smiles and laughter. As the evening unfolded, it appears that all the guests enjoyed warm conversation in friendly groups. I also heard that Walker brewed a special batch of beer to celebrate the day.

Here’s a little preview of what’s to come. Congratulations, Walker and Madeline!  Thanks for having us for this beautiful day. And thank you Rob and Ryan for making such lovely images.

UPDATE 09.15.09 The gallery is posted. Go here to see all the photos from the day.
