Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers PortlandWith all the crazy weather we have been having we all felt pretty lucky that the rain stayed away for Kimberley and Michael’s springtime wedding. Their wedding was held at the beautiful Victorian Belle.  The history of the Victorian Belle lends itself perfectly to any wedding, as this mansion was built in 1885 by David Cole as a wedding gift for his wife. It is sweet to think this home was built for the beginning of one love story and now is the home to the beginning of so many more.

The morning of their wedding was busy with getting ready and taking family photos as the couple decided to opt for tradition and not see each other until Kimberley walked down the aisle. It was so sweet to see Michael’s face when he saw her for the first time. After the “I Do’s” we gathered the wedding party and walked around the mansion taking photos and celebrating this new marriage.

Dinner brought everyone into the gazebo for the evening, where the couple was treated to sweet words from family and friends wishing them the best for the future. But the night wasn’t over there, the DJ kicked the music up and this group got to dance the night away on the dance floor!

Be sure to check out the night-time portraits we took at the Victorian Belle (at the bottom of the post).  That place is amazing at night with all it’s old architecture and artistic lighting!  Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland Victorian Belle Wedding Photographers Portland

When Rob told us he was renting out Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Gardens (the whole place!), in order to propose to his girlfriend Rachel, we were pretty excited.  The Chinese Gardens is a difficult place to get in to for photographers, so this was going to be a treat.  And it was!

Amy had the privilege of lurking around in the shadows, while Rob proposed to Rachel.  Once she said yes, well, the photographic fun began.  With some amazing architecture, water, and weather (well, for the wettest Portland winter in 75 years, at least there was no rain), she not only photographed their proposal, but also some lovely engagement portraits.

Congratulations, Rob and Rachel! proposal photographers portland oregon proposal photographers portland oregon proposal photographers portland oregon proposal photographers portland oregon

Engagement portraits are such a delight to photograph.  With the sheer volume of amazing locations to photography portraits in the Portland area, we never have a problem selecting someplace that lets the couple shine.

So it was a delight to photograph Christi and Sam in the Columbia River Gorge.  (Can you say ‘Gorgeous’?)  Kai worked with them to select some fantastic locations, which he knows from his years of hiking and photographing in the area.  Waterfalls and fields of grass, and that magical evening light….

A year ago, we had the privilege of photographing Arvind and Hana’s proposal and engagement here in Portland.  They were on vacation in Portland when he proposed, and she said yes.  We love proposal photography!

So we were super excited when they asked us to come and photograph their wedding in St. Cloud, Minnesota!  When we first met Hana and Arvind after stalking them through Hoyt Arboretum to catch Arvind popping the question, we all became fast friends.

Arvind is a smart guy with a sweet disposition and his love for Hana is apparent the moment you see him looking at her. Hana on the other hand is a strong boisterous gal with lots of love and attitude to spare, but in front of Arvind she melts away into nothing but smiles and laugher.

These two planned the entire wedding themselves, and what a wedding it was! It was held at the beautiful 912 Plaza in downtown St. Cloud, on the luckiest of late January days. Normally temperatures at this time can be as low as 20 degrees and we lucked out with it being in the high 30’s.  We were so happy as this venue has a beautiful raised outdoor deck, and the downtown area was a great backdrop for some of our images.

Everything for this wedding went beautifully! Arvind and Hana said I do in front of their closest family and friends. From the receiving line to the heartfelt toasts, everyone was feeling the love in the room.  And it didn’t stop there! This group kept going well into the evening, making good use of the photo booth and cutting it up on the dance floor.

Proposal photography Oregon Falls

It is so much fun to sneak around and photograph people proposing!  Every time we photograph a proposal, it’s exciting and moving. 

When Nick called us from Arkansas, to say that he wanted to propose to his girlfriend Rachel in the Portland area, we were excited to help him plan it.  We helped him select a great location (Wahclella Falls, in the Columbia River Gorge), and planned it all out with him.  And it worked!  Rachel said yes!  

Proposal photography Wahclella Falls engagement portrait photographer portlandWe also like tophotograph some engagement portraits while we’re at it.  After the proposal, we spend a lot of time creating some beautiful portraits of the couple together.  Aren’t Nick and Rachel cute?

Photobooth Portland

Rarely have I ever seen so many beautiful people so elegantly attired as I did at Leslie and Callie’s wedding.  A Black Tie New Year’s Eve Gala Wedding at Portland’s Castaway, it was the place to be!  We set up our PhotoBooth, in front of the beautiful flowered backdrop that some of the bride’s friends had made.  And then, magically, a parade of elegant people came through to be photographed!  It was a lot of fun.  

We uploaded the images immediately to their PhotoBooth album on the Fritz Photography Facebook Page, and the guests went wild!  Hundreds of likes and comments, that night, and for weeks to come.  People loved seeing and sharing their photobooth photos, using them as profile pictures, and complimenting their friends and family.  That’s why we love putting our PhotoBooth photos on Facebook for our guests.  It’s just more fun for everyone!

When Jesslyn contacted me, saying she wanted to create a family photo in the style of Vogue and Vanity Fair, I was in.  I really enjoy it when a customer comes to me with a creative idea, and wants something out of the norm.

Her family rented gowns and tuxes, and in the studio our hair and makeup artist got everyone looking their very best.  We shot a variety of images, and everyone loved what we came up with.  Check out this classy family:

Jesslyn is also a model, with Ryan Artists, so we created some photos of her for her modeling portfolio while we were at it:

Kathryn and Justin’s engagement portrait photography session was such an adventure. We wanted to do their session at Wahclella Falls, in the Columbia River Gorge.  But as we started the hike we quickly realized it wasn’t possible with all of the snow!  So we quickly thought about what we could do.  We decided to drive around on the historic highway and stop at beautiful locations along the way! We ended up finding a lake that was absolutely perfect. The snow with the mountains made for an amazing backdrop, and their love (plus they’re adorable puppy) made for such a fun shoot!

Posted in:Jenkins Estate | Portrait Photography Portland | Senior Portrait Photography Portland

senior photo photographer Hillsboro Oregon

I love it when we get to photograph senior portraits in the winter in Oregon.  It’s a quieter season, the parks are empty, and the bare landscape can lend itself to some lovely images.

So when Simona called to schedule her senior photo session, I was excited.  A senior at Madison High School in Portland, her high school wisely delayed their yearbook photo deadline due to all the recent snow day closures.

We met up at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton, and had the place to ourselves.  It was a beautiful winter afternoon, with that lovely soft light that comes through high, thin clouds.  Add in a beautiful young lady, and we had a great time photographing her portraits together!

Even in the wet and cold of winter…we manage to take beautiful wedding portraits.  We just created these beautiful images at Cathedral Park, in Portland.  In spite of the drizzle and chill, we had a great time!  Brian and his bride gave us big hugs as we parted.  It was a lovely afternoon!
