Photographer specializing in natural portraits, editorial fashion, and beautiful wedding imagery. Available in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Oregon and beyond.
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 ;)

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 ;)
