Photographer specializing in natural portraits, editorial fashion, and beautiful wedding imagery. Available in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Oregon and beyond.
Earlier this summer I photographed Susan and Zack’s wedding outside of Corvallis at The Thyme Garden – These two are so adorable, and I loved the setting. It was the perfect spot for an outdoor wedding – it’s out of town a ways, but there was a whole area where guests could set up tents and camp out for the night so they didn’t have to worry about driving the windy highway back to civilization after a few glasses of wine ;)
Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding!

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.

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!

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! :)

One of my short-term goals is to get better about blogging regularly – But as I’m sitting here thinking about what the heck I want to post (i.e., do people really want to know that I had my first squeaky cheese experience this weekend and I’m still acting like a 5 year old over it?), I realized it’d be easier to figure out who’s reading first! Please take a sec to answer the following polls :)

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!
This poor groomsman somehow got roped into maid-of-honor duties during photos :)
A Persian wedding tradition, where two hardened cones of sugar are rubbed together above the bride & groom:
Of course it started pouring as we were setting up this shot – There were a few people holding umbrellas over couples while I arranged them, they ran off and I literally fired off 3 shots and told them to run for it. What can you do, it’s Oregon!
Congratulations you two, thank you so much for having me!
Venue: Abbey Road Farm – Carlton, Oregon
Hair & Makeup: Nicole Wagner
Flowers: Bella Bloom Florals
DJ/Entertainment: Event Team Entertainment
Janene’s Hair Piece: Twigs & Honey
Huge thank you to my friend Kevin Meyers for shooting alongside me – Never a dull moment, especially when there are electric fences nearby ;)

Just a few favorites from Tiffany and Logan’s wedding this past weekend. The ceremony was at Tiffany’s dad’s home up in the Coburg hills, and the reception was at the new River Bend Resort in Harrisburg. Huge thank you to Jay Eads for joining me as my second photographer!
Congratulations Tiffany and Logan, have you have a great time on your cruise – and good luck with the move to Kansas! :)

Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend! Thought I should post a few photos from my trip to Bend last week -
Friday we went hiking at Smith Rock – I’ve never been there before, but it was gorgeous! When we got to the top we could see a bunch of huge houses down below along the river, must be quite the place to live!
“Misery Ridge Trail” was pretty much exactly as it sounds. Well, maybe that’s because I spend more time editing photos behind a computer than I do hiking…
My friend, the rattlesnake… This guy was hanging out on a rock waist-level as we were walking by, and we heard him before we saw him. Not a fan of that experience! Of course this picture was taken from farther away (my legs wouldn’t stop shaking, so the further way the better, haha!), but when we first met he was about 2 feet away. No thank you!!
Tumalo Falls…
