Lisa + Kåre . Cloud Mountain Farm . Trout Lake, WA Wedding

Kacy Kizer — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:45:58 +0000

Lisa and Kåre’s wedding was one of my favorites. Ever. Why? Totally casual and low-key. Around 70 guests. Amazing setting (that’s Mt. Adams serving as the backdrop to their ceremony). Swedish traditions that made the day completely unique (Lisa is half Swedish, and Kåre moved from Sweden to be with her). A bicycle-shaped wedding cake. The best food I’ve ever had at a wedding (Taste Unique in Portland just opened last year, the chefs are straight out of Rome). And for their first dance, they got down to a live band performing Guns N’ Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine. Awesome.

Katie + Kevin – Portland Wedding Photography

Kacy Kizer — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:14:15 +0000

Major blog backlog going on here! All you Pacific Northwesterners know how it is – We have to take advantage of the nice weather when it’s here, so I’ve been doing a ton of shooting and not much blogging. There is a LOT to be posted though! Here are a few shots from back in July of Katie and Kevin’s wedding at The Fairgate Inn in Camas, Washington.

Emily + Alex – Engagement Session

Kacy Kizer — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 21:23:30 +0000

These two were so adorable, I had a lot of fun shooting their engagement session a few weeks back – I think I told them how cute they were at least 200 times :) I’ll be shooting their wedding in Eugene next month, can’t wait!

Photo Booth! : Portland Wedding Photographer

Kacy Kizer — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:25:15 +0000

A few weddings that I’ve shot have had photo booths, and they’re always a huge hit with guests – I highly recommend them!! This past weekend Jen helped me out at Katie & Kevin’s wedding, and we had to hop in a few times ourselves:

Mary + Yamen – Willamette Valley Vineyards Wedding

Kacy Kizer — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 03:36:38 +0000

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! :)

Congrats you two!!

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

Kacy Kizer — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:47:12 +0000

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!

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