Ryan & Brianna’s Stunning Vancouver Wedding

Portland oregon wedding photographers

From the moment I met them, I liked them.  I laughed so hard when we talked that I could hardly converse!

Ryan is half-way through med school in Cali and will make an excellent pediatrician.  Brianna, a perfect match, is an active nurse and balances out his orneryness with her bubbly laugh and beautiful eyes. When they are together, you’re just swept into the smiles, I swear they’re contagious.

Aside from a stunning wedding venue in Vancouver, Washington, that looked straight out of England, I was delighted with the details. You can see Brianna’s handiwork everywhere you turn. From the hanging crystal canopy to the Bureau of Standards Big Band kicking out the dance tunes.  Amazing night.  She looked like a queen thanks to stylist Caprice Hammon and Bridal Exclusives with stunning gown from Allure.

I will remember the way Ryan’s eyes overflowed as Brianna walked down the aisle, the way her Dad gave her one last kiss as he gave her away, the tearful toasts and the abundant laughter. Thank you Ryan and Brianna for including me on this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Betsy & Roger’s Wedding at Zenith Vineyard

I don’t know if you’ll believe me when I say this, but the above photo was taken in March.  In Oregon.  Notice that bright yellow stuff coming out of the sky?  You don’t usually see that in March.  In Oregon.  Notice the beautiful bride in her sleeveless gown, outside, in March, in Oregon?  You don’t usually see that either.

I first met Betsy several years ago, when she asked me to take some portraits of her.  It was probably in March, because we photographed in a local park, taking shelter under a tree during downpours, and photographing during the breaks.  Since then, we’ve taken several portraits of her with her children–on sunnier, warmer, summer days.

The past fall, I was very happy to hear that Betsy was getting married to this great guy, Roger.  And even happier to hear that we were going to be photographing their wedding.  And what a wedding it was!

Held at Zenith Vineyard, we arrived on a sunny, 75-degree day at the end of March.  Zenith Vineyard is a gorgeous wedding venue, made even more beautiful by the spring blossoms on the trees.  Add in Betsy and Roger and their great friends and family, and it really was an amazing day.

Our PhotoBooth was a big hit at the wedding–starting with Betsy’s son and daughter, Sean and Erin.

Child Model Portfolio Photography * Introducing Ellie McClaskey

Photographing model portfolio test shoots is a lot of fun.  In Portland, there are several great modeling agencies, including Muse Models, Sports and Lifestyle Unlimited, Q6, Ryan Artists, and Option Model Management.  I’ve photographed portfolios for models that work with all of these modeling agencies, and more.  Sometimes models need some fresh new looks for their modeling portfolios, and sometimes they’re just getting started in the modeling industry, and need some test shoots in order to build a new portfolio to show to modeling agencies.  Whatever the model’s aims, having professional photos to showcase their talents helps models and actors get noticed, get work, and get paid.

It’s also a lot of fun for us at the studio to see where models and actors that we helped get started, end up.  We’ve photographed models and actors that went on to act on shows such as Leverage, Grimm, and Portlandia.  Others have moved to LA and New York and have vibrant careers in the modeling and acting industry.  Sometimes I’ll see them in fashion spreads and advertisements in magazines.  Sometimes we see them in commercials for great companies like Adidas or Nike.

This week we’ve photographed a couple of beautiful aspiring models, and I can tell they’re going places.  Today we’ll feature Ellie McClaskey.  Ellie is a vibrant, funny, energetic young lady.  She plays all kinds of sports, and is a lot of fun to have in front of the camera!  She has a range that will help her do well in both lifestyle and sports modeling, which is great because she’s now represented by Sports and Lifestyle Unlimited!

When you are ready to jumpstart your modeling or acting career, and need a great portfolio to show to modeling and acting agencies, contact us!  (Visit our website to see more of our Portland model portfolio photography.)  We’d love to photograph a stunning modeling portfolio that will get you noticed!

The Pacifica Gardens Wedding of Michael + Jennifer

Oregon Wedding PhotographersI love it when my brides become friends; such was the case with Jennifer. Through capturing her engagement and wedding photos our hearts knit together and we both did a happy dance when her wedding was selected for publication in A Paper Proposal.

Michael and Jen were wed in the heart of Medford Oregon, on an idyllic lake surrounded by the rugged Oregon Pass. Their love was tangible–both were glowing with the happiness of finally belonging to the other.  As Michael brushed her cheek with his hand and held her close, Jen looked at me as if to say, “This is Heaven….”  I couldn’t agree more.
