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: Suzette and Scott, Aug 23, 2008

September 23, 2008 Posted in peek, slideshows, venues

Imagine if Portland’s largest outdoor festival was being held on the front porch of your wedding venue? Suzette explained that we should probably rethink heading to the Waterfront for photos after the ceremony since 25 GAZILLION PEOPLE would already be there for the Luis Palau celebration. But we needn’t have worried, since everything went off perfectly. I suppose that If you’re going to have your wedding surrounded by hoards of people, it’s good that they are all polite, well-dressed, religious enthusiasts.

The wedding was sweet and lovely. The plaza below the World Trade Center was an oasis of cool and calm for the ceremony and the upstairs venue always has the yummiest light. Here’s a couple of our faves and a little slide show .
