January wedding

Here is a sneak peak at our first 2009 wedding! I have know Dan for gosh years, he has been in several weddings that I have had the honor of photographing, and I was thrilled that I got to photograph his wedding. Jennifer was gorgeous and the wedding party was awesome! It helped that most of them had been through the Alyssa Jul routine!
I hope you had an amazing honeymoon, enjoy your photographic appetizer!

FALL... into love

Meet Kayla and Erik, we were blessed with an awesome day to photograph! I am really glad I got to be a part of your special day, best of luck in the days and years to come!

Chad and Danni

Last Friday I was up in Issaquah Washington for Chad and Danni's wedding, I was stoked to get to photograph at a new venue! These two are friends of Corey's from OSU...GO BEAVS! There were a lot of his buds from the ultimate frisbee team there, and it was great to see all of them in one place! D&C were super sweet and relaxed the whole day, which made my job easy!

This is probably one of my new favs, I just love the combo of the barn and shrubs with the corrugated metal and of course the smoking hot B&G!

This is the barn that the wedding reception was in, absolutely gorgeous!

Country wedding

Last Saturday Corey and I headed to Washington for a wedding, and let me tell you we were in a part of Washington I didn't know exsisted! We got turned around a couple times, but as you can see we made it!
Stephanie and Alex were great, it was hot and there was very little relief from the sun, but they did it, and they looked amazing!
I am loving the turquoise boots...HOT!

When I asked Stephanie to sit down in these flowers/grass, she gave me the I am wearing a white dress look, but gave into me and did it anyway...and look at how it payed off, and the dress was fine!

Just a little celebration after the ceremony!

I think their guests had fun at the reception, what do you think?

Thanks Stephanie and Alex, I had a blast at your wedding! Have fun in Cabo!

Another hot day and another hot bride!

I had two weddings this last weekend, Lori and Alex got married on Sunday at Hoyt Arboritum. I found out at the wedding that the bride's brother married a high school friend's sister...does that make sense? Anyway, it is just weird to realize how small the world really is!
Enough about that, check out some of my favs from the day!

I love the back of Lori's dress, it is a shame we only get to wear our wedding gowns one day!

Lori and Alex's ceremony was so intimate and whimsical. I loved the simple elegance of the ceremony.

again the back of the dress...one word HOT!

There is so much love between these two, it is so sweet to see how much these two care about each other. Congrats guys!

hot day, hot bride!

Saturday Jen Griggs and I were at Edgefield photographing a wedding...do I need to remind you all that Saturday was 97 degrees? It really was fun despite the heat! Nicole and Casey were a dream to work with, they have such a passion for each other and they were so easy to work with. Casey you have found yourself a keeper, incase you need to be reminded, Nicole is HOT and looked totally Fab in her dress! Congratulations guys and thank you for letting me be a part of your big day!

This image is one of my favs...I love the dress in the wind, and Nicole turning around to check it out!

We found the walk in cooler that they use to refidgerate their kegs and just couldn't resist stepping inside to cool off!

This cement thing was just sitting in the parking lot, I think it might have been a water tower or something? Whatever it is or was it made for some rad photos!

a June wedding

I was really worried that we would have a rainy windy day for this wedding, because of the horrible weather we have been having...but God was totally on our side and we got a perfect overcast day, which is my favorite weather condition to photograph in!
Kelcie's something barrowed, was a set of diamond earings...check out the bling, these were mega huge!

This was on the way to see the groom...too bad they arn't together in this shot!

So half way through the wedding ceremony the wedding coordinator sneaks up behind me to tell me I am in the center view of the video the church tapes of the ceremony..."great"! At least they have great photos of the ceremony without me in it!

I got some of my favorite first dance photos ever at this wedding!

coldest day in april

Last weekend I photographed a wedding in downtown Portland. It was such a contrast to the wedding I photographed the weekend before. What is up with our crazy weather? I am ready for summer!

Here is a preview of one of my favorites, with more to come!

Thursday Wedding

Kristin and Jared got married just before spring break, with more rain than I have seen all year! We got lucky though and had a few breaks in the rain to go outside! They were such troopers, and in the end it was totally worth it! Kristin was GORGEOUS...and rocked it out for me!

wedding 3

this couple is super sweet and such troopers, it poured down rain all day and we got a few breaks

Wedding Season is in full swing!

Here is a super cute couple, Stephanie and Andy. It rained on us off and on, but she was such a trooper and let me drag her around outside all day!
