Mary + Yamen – Willamette Valley Vineyards Wedding

August 4, 2009

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted images! This is by far my busiest time of year, I’ve been super busy out shooting weddings and portraits. If you were hoping to have your senior photos done before the rainy weather sets in, contact me soon! August is completely booked, and I only have 3 sessions available in September.

Here are a few photos from Mary & Yamen’s adorable multi-cultural wedding at Willamette Valley Vineyards. Yamen read his vows in English, Mary read hers in Arabic, Mary’s uncle gave a Native American wedding blessing, and her sister’s Irish dance group performed at the reception. I’m sure I’m missing something else that was in there! :)

Your Wedding: Hiring an amateur vs professional photographer : Portland Wedding Photographer

July 30, 2009

I found out about this great article in Seattle Bride magazine this morning, and had to share. One of the most common things I hear when I tell people I’m a photographer is something along the lines of “Oh my sister got married last year and just had a friend take the photos… She regrets it, they didn’t turn out well.” And then maybe followed by something like “She should have hired you!” ;)

This article is written by an amateur photographer who explains the value in hiring a professional. She was asked to shoot a wedding alongside one, and saw the difference firsthand. Please pass this link along to any engaged friends who are considering just using “a friend with a nice camera” to photograph their wedding!

View the article here: Seattle Bride Magazine: “Photography” By Cody Ellerd

Thanks to Rebecca Knight, a fellow photographer out in Florida, for posting this on her twitter this morning! :)

Alright Janene, my wedding present to you is getting this post up quick – and with a ton of photos, no less! :)

Janene and Kaveh tied the knot this past Saturday at Abbey Road Farm outside of Portland. We had a bit of rain off and on, but it was a gorgeous day. Janene and Kaveh have been so great to work with, I’m so glad I was a part of their wedding!

Janene + Kaveh – Corvallis Engagement Session : Portland Wedding Photographer

May 6, 2009

Last weekend Janene and Kaveh came down from Portland for their engagement session. They met when they were students at Oregon State (go beavs!), so we started out with some shots around campus. That is, once the rain let up… it was a crazy day for weather! It all turned out great, luckily they didn’t mind sitting in the wet grass for me a few times ;)

These two will tie the knot next month at Abbey Road Farm Bed & Breakfast – I can’t wait to shoot there, it’s going to be such a fun wedding!
