Congratulations Melissa and Michelle!
We had a blast photographing Melissa and Michelle’s engagement portraits! The entire session was full of laughter, especially as they saved our photographer, Amy, from falling into the river with all her equipment. We are so excited for their wedding at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. We cannot wait!

We loved photographing these engagement portraits on the Eastbank Esplanade.

The newlyweds incorporated the Jewish tradition of Yichud, taking some time alone to reflect on their journey together
We’re so happy that we’re preferred wedding photographers at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton, because it means we get to photograph weddings like Josh and Chanda’s. What a fun couple, and a thoughtful wedding! We interviewed Josh and Chanda about their wedding, and here is what they told us:
Josh– My favorite moment was minutes before I walked down the aisle. We were all in formation in a room ready to walk onto the field when I realized it was over. The planning, the details, the stress. All that was left was to walk out, explain how I love my fiancée, and enjoy the company. I finally remembered that she had already said yes when I proposed, and that is really all that mattered.
Chanda– We decided to incorporate the Jewish tradition of Yichud into our wedding, where the bride and groom have a few moments of seclusion away from the guests directly after the ceremony. It was wonderful to sit with my husband and reflect on our journey together.
Josh– For Christmas I thought it would be funny to get my brother in law and father in law samurai swords. They were a cheap find online. I would never have imagined that those swords would be making an appearance in our wedding pictures.
Chanda– We had forgotten that we picked a song from Star Wars as our recessional- it caught us off guard and we giggled the whole way back down the aisle.
Josh– “As long as I can dance at your wedding” became a common saying for my ailing grandmother. Unfortunately she passed in 2010 and was never able to attend my wedding, so we brought a photograph of her and gave it a space near the dance floor.
Also my wife’s train kept falling down. Her sister/ bridesmaid kept trying to pin it up to no avail, so I just held it for much of the night. It was a nice excuse to be close to my wife.
Chanda– We had a longtime friend of ours perform our ceremony. He knew us both well and did an incredible job with the ceremony and added the perfect amount of personalization.
Josh– I wore a custom three piece suit and shirt from The Duchess Clothier in Portland.
Chanda– I found my dress at Bridal Exclusives, and my veil was the same veil that my mother-in-law wore at her wedding.
The beautiful bride soaking it all in
Josh was excited to profess his love to Chanda, and as wedding photographers, we love these incredibly sweet moments
Mozel tov to the happy couple!

What a good looking couple! We love the variety of wedding portrait locations at The Aerie.
It was such a beautiful summer day for Abby and Kevin’s summer wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing. When I entered the bride’s room it was buzzing with activity as all the girls ran around getting ready in their cute matching robes.
Once Abby was ready it was time for the first look. The first look is always such a sweet private moment for the couple and I enjoyed watching these two as they looked at each other with such excitement. The three of us then headed off to explore the property and take some fun portraits together.
Once the wedding party joined us we couldn’t help but run out to the green for a few images. And the front of The Aerie is always such a great backdrop for group photos.
The ceremony was heartwarming and all that love just carried through the evening as people dined, toasted, and danced the night away!
All the ladies had matching robes to get ready in.
Wedding photography at The Aerie at Eagle landing is a real delight.

This wedding party knew how to have fun!
We love the fact that The Aerie at Eagle Landing has both indoor and outdoor venues for weddings.

I would have called this my “Snow Queen” portrait of Gaby, but there was no snow….
I’ve known Gaby since she was pretty small. We met when I photographed her mom’s wedding many years ago. She and her sister were the cutest bridesmaids you’ve ever seen.
Over the years, we photographed her older sister’s senior portraits, her older brother’s wedding, then Gaby’s senior portraits. We did some photography for her graphic design work as well. And now…her wedding photography. What an honor.
Gaby and Eric have so much fun together. So it was a real pleasure to see them finally married, surrounded by their family and friends (who also have a lot of fun together!). It was a beautiful, sunny day for a wedding at the Abernethy Center, in Oergon City, and we took full advantage of that late December sunshine, while it lasted.

Gaby’s sister borrowed her cape (it was cold outside!) and we just couldn’t resist this lovely portrait.
These guys really do have a lot of fun together!
The beautiful Aberthethy Center Chapel in December is such a warm and inviting wedding venue.
A bubble send-off after the wedding ceremony at Abernethy Chapel…and then on to the Abernethy Ballroom for the reception!
Wedding photography in the Abernethy Ballroom is so lovely, when you have a romantic crowd on the dance floor.
This is where my intersection with the family started…with Judy and Jason’s wedding many years ago….
Congratulations, Eric and Gaby! We love you guys!

Allison & Travis’s Wedding Photography at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course
Wedding Venue: Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course in North Plains, Oregon
It was an overcast day at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course when we arrived to photograph Allison and Travis’s wedding. But Allison’s sunny touches of yellow accents were perfect! They cheered everything up nicely. Plus, Allison and Travis had a lot of fun together, as did Allison’s son (an adorable ham for the camera!), so we had a great time photographing their wedding. In fact, her son also escorted the bride down the aisle, along with her father, which was really touching. And he was also included in the lighting of the unity candle during the wedding ceremony. So meaningful!
During the wedding reception, Travis helped Allison take a few swings at the driving range at sunset (Matt is a regular golfer at Pumpkin Ridge), which was fun to watch. What a fun, beautiful wedding day to at which to be the wedding photographers!
Absolutely love the cleats at this wedding! Details like this make wedding photography extra enjoyable.
Black and white is so classic and classy for wedding portraits!
These two were so cute to photograph together!
The bride and bridesmaids had such a great time together at this wedding!
It was so beautiful to see Allison’s son be part of the wedding ceremony!
The kiss!
Loved this sign that directed everyone to the wedding reception….
So many warm yellow details at this wedding!
Travis is an avid golfer, and helped Allison knock a few in during the wedding reception at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course.

Destination wedding photography is always a blast. Sun Valley, Idaho made for a beautiful backdrop for Anne & O’Neal’s wedding photos.
Sun Valley, Idaho was the perfect choice for Anne & O’Neal’s destination wedding event. Driving from one end of town to the other takes less than 5 minutes, so it was easy to capture so many picturesque locations. And when the time came for these two to exchange vows at the beautiful church, Our Lady of the Snows, nestled in the rolling foothills of the Rocky Mountains, they were surrounded by family and loved ones. And then…they celebrated the night away….
Jennifer, the wedding photographer, recalls some favorite moments:
-Wedding Venue – Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church (Wedding Ceremony) & River Run Day Lodge (Wedding Reception); Sun Valley, ID.
I spent an hour in the morning lint brushing dog hair off of the seats in my car after finding out that I would be the one to have the privilege of chauffeuring the bride and groom from the ceremony to the reception….
Anne & O’Neal’s first look was was my favorite part of the day. They were both so fun, and funny, and the best kind of emotions were bubbling over! The location at the barn was stunning, and a few horses even came over to the fence line to see what all the fuss was about.
I overheard them saying that both of their families used to vacation in Sun Valley when Anne & O’Neal were children – but I am not 100% sure of that fact.I am also pretty sure (but not certain) that they were living in Denver at the time of the wedding.
Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church was such a beautiful, intimate space for their wedding ceremony!
And then they danced the night away….

“I expected our wedding day to feel rushed and hectic, but when the big day came it was surprisingly relaxing!”
Shortly before we were scheduled to begin taking photos, the bride was concerned about wrinkles and asked the Groom’s mother to go downstairs where the guys were getting ready to inspect his suit. Dissatisfied with the results of the plug-in garment steamer, the Groom’s mom commandeered an iron and ironing board from one of the groomsmen’s hotel rooms and proceeded to iron the Groom’s pants, jacket and shirt before letting him get dressed, much to the delight of the groomsmen.
Our dessert was a selection of pies from Lauretta Jean’s Pie Bakery, the site of our first date. We had five different varieties- heirloom apple, black raspberry streusel, salted honey, tart cherry, and caramel apple- each labeled with a beautiful hand-painted sign courtesy of the Bride’s sister Sarah, who also painted the invitations. Those signs now hang in our kitchen.
The bride’s dress came from The White Dress in Portland, while the Groom’s suit and tie came from Men’s Wearhouse and his shirt was from Nordstrom, purchased by his best man’s for his own wedding the month before.
The groom patiently waiting for his well-ironed suit.

“I expected our wedding day to feel rushed and hectic, but when the big day came it was surprisingly relaxing! The bride and bridesmaids had time to sip pinot gris on the balcony and just enjoy the venue before starting pictures. All the organizing and planning up until that day very much paid off.” – Emily
What a gorgeous wedding! Even the weather was perfect. Emily was an absolutely beautiful bride, and the joy and love Emily and Rockne share brings smiles and happiness to all that share these pictures and memories.
We had another stunningly beautiful evening for senior photos in Beaverton. Megan is a senior at Beaverton High School. She’s a beautiful young lady that laughs a lot. She’s also interested in medicine (Beaverton High School has a class for just this interest), and is saving for college with her after school job.
This is Maverick, Megan’s dog. They rescued her a year ago, and he’s such a cutie! Well-behaved, and very cooperative in front of the camera. I wish all dogs were like this; it would make photographing them so much easier!
We had a great time photographing Megan’s senior portraits at Jenkins Estate, in Beaverton. It’s one of our favorite locations for senior photos in Beaverton, because it’s large, well maintained, and has so much variety. Add in the golden hour of sunlight at the end of the day, and a beautiful model, and we had a wonderful time photographing her senior photos together.

Natalie drove to Beaverton for her senior photo session–all the way from Brush Prairie, Washington! (She’s a senior at Hockinson High School.) As we walked and talked, she mentioned that she was interested in photography, and is studying it in high school. As soon as I had my camera trained on her, she lit up, and was so lovely to photograph. So both behind and in front of the camera, she is one talented lady!
Fall in Portland can be a lovely time to photograph senior photos. But the weather doesn’t always cooperate. That’s why we like to take advantage of warm, sunny fall days to take as many senior portraits as possible. I loved photographing Natalie’s senior photos in Beaverton! What a treat.
Wherever we photograph senior portraits, we’re always looking for new and interesting locations. This hidden gem we found this weekend.
Smiling or serious, Natalie’s so lovely in front of the camera.
Couldn’t pass up the dappled sunlight in the woods at the Jenkins Estate as we photographed Natalie’s senior photos.

Lisa, Chet and their sweet dogs at their wedding!
It was such a joy to photograph Lisa and Chet’s wedding this summer. We absolutely love Mt Hood Oregon Resort (formerly Resort at the Mountain), and this couple made it even more enjoyable. The day was perfect, which you could see by the smiles on everyone’s face. The happy couple even incorporated their three dogs into the wedding, which added more joy to the day. We asked the couple a few questions, and here is what they said:
I am not sure that we have a favorite moment. The whole day was awesome for us. It was a flawless day and I contribute that to you and all of our wonderful vendors. They took such great care of us, our wedding party and our guests. The whole day was our favorite moment.
We had my brother and his partner walk our 3 dogs down the aisle before I made my grand entrance. People loved it and the dogs were crazy.
