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.

Venue: Cloud Mountain Farm – Trout Lake, WA (private residence)
Catering and Cake: Taste Unique – Portland
Flowers: Lucy’s Informal Flowers
Dress Boutique: Lena Medoyeff Bridal
Makeup Artist: Salon Visio – Hood River
Band: The Hipwaiters

Thank you to Blake for shooting with me! A few of these shots are his – most notably Lisa and Kåre surrounded by bubbles :)

My friends Peter and Kelly were married this past weekend in Hawaii, and I had the tough job of traveling over to photograph the big day for them – Here is just a quick sneak peek. And huge thank you to my lovely friend Jen for agreeing to come along and shoot with me semi-last minute! :)

Susan and Zack – Corvallis Wedding Photography : Portland Wedding Photographer

Kacy Kizer — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:51:36 +0000

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!

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!!

Survey Says…

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 :)

Janene + Kaveh, continued… – Portland Wedding Photographer

Kacy Kizer — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:25:44 +0000

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

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 ;)
