Mariah & Greg were married at The Oregon Garden in Silverton, OR. The weather was a little iffy off an on, but it never rained and was such a gorgeous day! They were both a pleasure to work with, they were so obviously in love. Congratulations you guys, and have a great time on your honeymoon!

07.21.07 - Ameleah & Mike

Despite the rain just before they walked down the aisle, Ameleah and Mike's wedding was so beautiful, and I feel very lucky to have been part of their day. They had their wedding at a relative's house in Vancouver, WA, then their reception was at Kell's in downtown Portland. In between we stopped at Tanner Springs Park in NW Portland for some pics, which is where I shot their engagement session, so that was a lot of fun. I hope it's sunnier for you guys in the Caribbean! Congratulations!











































I took this picture of them during their engagement session, and thought it went perfectly on their CD favors...

Thanks for looking!

07.14.07 - No wedding, but two cute babies!

The wedding I was supposed to shoot on Saturday was canceled, so the mother of the bride asked if I could go to her house and photograph her 15-month-old grandson, Maddox. Her granddaughter just happened to have been born two days before, so I got to take a few shots of her as well. They were both so cute, I had a lot of fun playing with Maddox, and he loved all the buttons on my camera. Here's a few images...

Just look at that adorable face!...









He's such a happy boy...





This one is a little different, but I really like it...




I love the dimples on baby hands...


Toward the end of the session, and getting a little tired, but this is one of my favorites...


How precious...





Thanks for looking!

E. Session: Angela & Diane

Angela & Diane are having their wedding at Edgefield in November, so we figured now would be a good time to do their engagement session there while all the beautiful flowers were in bloom. Every time I go Edgefield I find some cool new place to shoot I hadn't seen before, which is fun for me. I had a great time getting to know them both, and am really looking forward to shooting their wedding in a few months! Usually I'm a sucker for B&W photos, but the colors were so beautiful, I'm posting some of my favorites in color...

I finished these pics a while ago, but I've just been super busy lately, so I apologize for not getting these up here earlier. Anyway, Walt and Lisa were married at Oaks Pioneer Church. It was such a beautiful day, and happiness just radiated from them, it was a pleasure to follow them around all day, capturing everything from hair and makeup to their exit. Congratulations to the both of you!
