11.17.07 - Lauren & Jesse

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!

It's difficult for me to keep it together when the dads start to tear up!

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!'

And, the last picture of the night!

2 Engagement sessions, and a wedding!

I will be shooting Lauren & Jesse's wedding this coming Saturday, and Amy & Andrew's wedding the following Saturday, so I decided to make a day of it, and shoot their e-sessions at Edgefield since I was going to be shooting a wedding there that evening. Here are some pics!

Lauren & Jesse...










I have a feeling the B&G pics will go something like this as well...lol













Amy & Andrew...

I got back from a wedding photography workshop in NY Sunday night...it was a very full weekend, but I had a blast and learned a ton! Here's some of my favorite pics...
