Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be on vacation now through January 1st. My boys and I are going to Sunriver in search of some snow! Yay! If we find some, I'll be sure and post some pics! So, I will not be taking orders, however, I will be answering e-mails as quickly as I can. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday season! :)

OBDP holiday party!

A groom from a wedding in July asked me to shoot his work holiday party in Keizer, OR. It was a very eventful night. I think everyone had a lot of fun! Here's some pics from the night.

The band, I believe they are called River City Band, based in Vancouver, WA. They kept the party rockin'!


We started with some formals by the Christmas tree...



Then the fun started!



They even let one of the guests sing a couple songs!






Thanks for looking!

11.24.07 - Amy & Andrew

There was a couple firsts for me at Amy & Andrew's wedding yesterday. One was that I didn't take a single picture outside, which has never happened, even during the winter months, and the other first was using off-camera flash at a wedding, which I did because we shot only indoors and it was very dark at the hotel (Embassy Suites in Tigard). Congratulations you guys! And, a big 'thank you' to my husband for assisting me and being my portable light stand! Here's a few favorites from the day...





They first had pictures done in their traditional Korean outfits...



















The entire ceremony was in Korean, which was interesting for me. I really had to pay attention to what was happening!





This kid was very talented. Earlier in the day he was playing piano for us, but got a little shy to sing during the ceremony ...



But, he recovered like a pro, and kept singing!











Thanks for looking!

I had another fun couple, Lauren & Jesse, on Saturday. They were married at St. Mary's Cathedral in NW Portland, and their reception was at the Acadian in NE Portland. There were too many wonderful moments from the day to post here, but here are some of my favorites. Congratulations, I hope you two have a great honeymoon!

11.11.07 - Angela & Diane

It was a long day, but the weather was beautiful, and I enjoyed all three couples I got to work with! After the e-sessions, I shot Angela and Diane's wedding at Edgefield as well, and had a blast with them! Congratulations you two, and I hope you have a wonderful cruise!

About an hour before I even started, they saw me walking by and poked their heads out to say, 'hi!'


Angela seeing Diane completely ready...





Some couple shots...








The ceremony...












I thought the customized Hershey kisses were super cute...



First dance...







And, the last picture of the night!


Thanks for looking!
