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!

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! :)

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 ;)

Okay, I’ve been a big blog-slacker so here are a ton of photos of Peter and Kelly’s engagement session to try to make up for it!
We shot these last week at the Portland Classical Chinese Garden, and lucked out with a nice, dry day (rare lately!). I’ve known Peter since we worked on OSU’s student paper, The Daily Barometer, together back in 2003/2004. He’s now a professional photographer in Portland, check out his site at www.petercheephotography.com
Being hired by other photographers is both flattering and nerve-wracking… I was really nervous for a few days beforehand, but I think I managed alright! I may have to take a few anti-anxiety pills before their wedding in Hawaii this December though ;) Congrats you two!!

Stephanie and Chase’s wedding took place February 7th in Portland. Their entire bridal party was so adorable, I love the unique touches they put on everything! I had a hard time choosing just a few to post here, so here’s… more than just a few :)
Their Portland wedding took place at Oaks Pioneer Church, with the reception at Kells Irish Pub.
Congratulations you two, hope you had a great time in the Bahamas!
Also a huge thank you to my friend Jenifer of Polka Dot Photography in Vancouver for second shooting this one with me! Couldn’t have navigated downtown Portland without you ;)
