Nov . 6 . 2018

West Linn High School yearbook photo

We really enjoyed photographing Lauren Chung’s senior portraits at Jenkins Estate this fall. It was one of those stunningly clear fall days, with warm sunshine and a rainbow of colors in the trees. The absolutely perfect day for senior photos!

Lauren is a senior at West Linn High School in West Linn, Oregon. As we took her senior portraits, we walked and talked about school, college, and her future. We’re excited to see what the future holds for this bright young lady! West Linn High School senior photo

Jasmine’s Sunset High School Senior Portraits

Sep . 5 . 2018

Sunset High School Senior Photos

Jasmine Patel is a senior at Sunset High School in Beaverton, Oregon. She’s a smart and articulate young lady, and we really enjoyed talking with her as we photographed her senior portraits around our photo studio in Northwest Portland. We asked her some questions about herself, and here are her answers, in her own words:

What are your favorite hobbies?

I enjoy staying busy. I am a Nordstrom Fashion Ambassador, and I work at a law firm. I also am involved with the Youth Group at my temple. At school, I am on the Unicef Board–an after-school fundraising club- and serve as Event Manager. When I’m not busy, I enjoy drinking coffee with a book in hand.

Any recent travel that was life-changing for you?

I took a trip to Europe, not that long ago, and absolutely loved it. My favorite country to explore was Switzerland, in specific I adored Lucerne. The architecture in the city blew me away. A concept as simple as architecture reminded me of the years of history engraved in these European countries. Another reason I enjoyed Switzerland was because of the fashion choices of the citizens there. They overlapped with trends and outfits that I would wear on a daily basis. Living in Portland has its perks, but I always feel out of fit with the outfit choices of the mass majority of people residing here.

What are you most excited about in your senior year of high school?

I am excited to take classes that are truly interesting and meaningful to me. For example, I am taking Writing 121- a college course- to prep me for freshman year of college. As well as, I am taking IB Business/Management and IB Economics because of my passion for these two subjects. I am also working at my school’s student store to express my involvement at school whilst having a genuine interest in business.

What are you planning to do after high school graduation?

After high school graduation, I plan to attend a four-year university, hopefully in the Pacific Northwest, and major in Political Science and Business. From there I wish to attend Law School.

What are your biggest hopes and dreams?

I aspire to have my own law firm in the middle of a busy city. I want to relocate to the Northeast; however, I’m in love with the Pacific Northwest. Due to that, I hope to live in Seattle because it is the best of both worlds.

Why did you select Fritz Photo to be your Beaverton senior portrait photographer?

I discovered FritzPhoto after researching for hours online; I was in search of a company to take my senior portraits. I ultimately chose FritzPhoto because the website had wonderful previews of other senior photo shoots. I also wanted my pictures to showcase a city atmosphere, like the pictures I found on the site.

It’s subtle, but if you look closely, you’ll see that Jasmine’s fingernail is painted in a similar pattern and color scheme as her scarf!

We love Jasmine’s laugh!

Debira and Jon’s Ainsworth House Wedding

Aug . 31 . 2018

Jon and Debira were married on July 16^th, with a ceremony and reception at the Ainsworth House in Oregon City.

These two actually had TWO wedding ceremonies—they eloped before their larger ceremony. Debira and John are both pretty shy, so they wanted to have their own personal vows and enjoy an intimate atmosphere under the garden arch with just their closest and most immediate family in attendance before they did the “big” wedding day. And since Amy van Riessen was the only shooter for this wedding, that meant she got to be part of two special moments in one day! That’s pretty special.

Jon and Debira’s Intimate Ainsworth House Elopement

Amy started out hanging out with Debira and her daughter, Audrey, as they got ready before she snuck upstairs to capture some images of Jon as well. Once everyone was ready, we staged a first look on the gorgeous front veranda of the Ainsworth House. Then, we took a few photos of the three of them together before the first ceremony. Their first ceremony was intimate and beautiful. Jon and Debira had written their own vows and it was such a special, emotional moment. We signed the wedding license inside the Ainsworth House and took some time for a few more photos—and then it was time for the larger ceremony.

A Galaxy Wedding at the Ainsworth House

This time around, all of Debira and Jon’s friends were in attendance. They kept it short and sweet, but they also made sure to include Audrey in a sweet three-color sand unity ceremony in which they each put a different color of sand into an hourglass. What a great way to make sure that all three of them got to be part of this big moment in their family!

We did a large group photo of everyone in attendance as well as some family photos before we headed off to the reception for lawn games and cake. Amy made sure to get some photos of the little details, too, since Debira and Jon had the coolest “galaxy” theme for their wedding. Debira was even rocking purple and blue hair to match Jon’s purple and blue galaxy tie! While the couple didn’t have toasts or first dances, this Ainsworth House wedding was a day filled with love.

Debira & Jon, thank you for asking us to be part of both of your wedding ceremonies! It truly was an “out of this world” experience! It was such a pleasure to provide your Ainsworth House wedding photography.

Mt Hood Oregon Resort Wedding

Aug . 25 . 2018

Michele and Doug were married on July 28^th, with a ceremony and reception at The Mt Hood Oregon Resort (formerly Resort at the Mountain) in Welches, Oregon. It was such an honor to provide their wedding photography for their Mt. Hood wedding!

A Romantic The Resort at The Mountain Wedding

For Michele and Doug’s beautiful summer wedding, Amy van Riessen was the primary wedding photographer, and Laurie Carter acted as second shooter. Amy started out the day capturing the ladies as they got ready. Meanwhile, Laurie started with the gentlemen. Once everyone was ready, the wonderful resort staff at The Resort at the Mountain shuttled Doug on the golf cart to a beautiful streamside location for the first look. Then, the cart circled back to bring Michele to join him. The secluded streamside location was so romantic—perfect for a first look.

After the first look and few couples’ photos, we joined the wedding party and family by the ceremony site at Pine Cone Bluff. There, we took formal photos with the beautiful golf course and mountains in the background. The Resort at The Mountain provides simply stunning views of the Cascades, so the backdrops for their outdoor wedding photography were magnificent.

Mt. Hood Wedding Photography

Everyone at this wedding was incredibly sweet. We loved to see this blended family come together. Michele has a 9-year-old daughter named Kalli, and Michele and Doug have a 9-month-old son, Easton, as well. We loved how Doug walked down the aisle with Easton! Michele was escorted down the aisle by Kalli, and the two of them met up with Michele’s parents up front. Together, her daughter and her parents gave her away to Doug. It was such a great way to celebrate their new family unit and illustrate that they were becoming one family.

As if that wasn’t sweet enough, Doug made sure to share a special dance with his new stepdaughter. It was one of Amy’s favorite moments as their wedding photographer! It was such a fabulous way to include Kalli in the celebration. We love the images of these two dancing together because Doug didn’t hold back! And really, Doug wasn’t on the dance floor much other than that dance. He claimed he didn’t know how to dance. So it was really special how he put himself out there share that dance with Kalli, who was quite the dancer!

Doug & Michele, thank you for allowing us to be part of your amazing celebration. We loved seeing your family come together. We’d also like to give a special thank you to the wedding coordinators at the Resort on the Mountain. They did such a fabulous job ensuring the events of the day went as planned and shuttling our team around on the golf cart. They always make the day go smoothly!

Cake: Dreamcake

Flowers: Arranged for You Floral Events, LLC, Robyn Hunter

Blackberry Hall McMenamin’s Edgefield Wedding Photos

Aug . 18 . 2018

Briana and Eric were married on June 9^th, with a ceremony and reception at McMenamin’s Edgefield. It was such a joy to be the wedding photographers at their gorgeous Edgefield Wedding. Since we are considered preferred wedding photographers for McMenamin’s Edgefield, we’re thrilled when our couples choose it as their wedding venue!

McMenamin’s Edgefield Wedding Photography

When we arrived at Edgefield, Laurie, the second shooter, went to hang out with the guys, while Amy, the primary shooter, was with the ladies and the “flower dog.” That’s right—they got a special floral leash and a bridal veil for their dog so that she could be part of their special day. What a great way to make sure that their whole family is in the wedding!

As we took “getting ready” pictures, we were all worried about the weather. We didn’t know if we’d be able to get those formal wedding portraits outside, because the rain wouldn’t let up at all. But just in time for the first look, we got a break in the clouds! We headed out to the Edgefield Gardens, where Eric and Briana saw each other for the first time. We were able to capture some great wedding photographs of these two out on the beautiful grounds. From there, we met up with the rest of the wedding party and their family for formal wedding portraits by Blackberry Meadow. And right after the last formal portrait was done, the clouds once again opened up with rain! It was perfect timing!

A Romantic Wedding Reception at McMenamin’s Edgefield Blackberry Hall

Because of the rain, the ceremony was moved inside Blackberry Hall, where their friend officiated the ceremony. We took some time for Eric and Briana to sign the marriage license before we took a few more photos of them as husband and wife around the grounds and headed back for the cocktail hour and reception.

At one point during the wedding reception, we had a short break in the rain—and a rainbow came out! We ran outside to grab a photo of the couple with the rainbow before it faded away.

Even with all of the uncertainty with the weather, we never saw Briana and Eric stressed out or overly concerned. They never stopped smiling—all day—and always had these looks of pure joy and happiness on their faces when we looked at them.

Thank you so much, Briana & Eric, for making our jobs as wedding photographers so easy. Your joy spilled out into all your wedding photography, and we felt like a valued part of your day.

Macey’s Senior Portrait Photography

Aug . 16 . 2018

We met up with Macey at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton, Oregon, on August 10^th for an amazing senior session. We’d already done her big brother’s senior portraits last year, so we were excited to see another member of the family getting ready to take on the world.

Grant High School Class of 2019 Senior Photography

This amazing girl goes to Grant High School in Portland, Oregon, where she runs cross country. She’s really good at it, too—she’s gone to state every year! She had just returned from a week at the Steens Running Camp, a wilderness running and camping experience in Oregon, where her longest day was 28 miles of hiking and running. What an amazing athlete!

Macey is also incredibly intelligent. This year, she’s excited about her Constitution team as well as the tough classes she’ll be taking on, like AP Physics and Calculus.

Macey’s Jenkins Estate Senior Portrait Session

Another thing we found out about Macey when she came for her portrait session was that she loves snuggly, soft clothing. In fact, she had a beautiful, soft, furry jacket that she wanted to wear during her senior session, even though it was 85 degrees outside. But the session wouldn’t be complete for her without it, because, in her words, “It’s never too warm for the teddy bear jacket!”

While we were able to get some great images of Macey to show off her personality, our favorites were the ones that showcased her beautiful blue eyes and her teddy bear jacket. And, of course, we were thrilled with how the image turned out that we shot with a specialty lens. The Lensbaby Twist 60, which is made in Portland, gives the background that lovely, swirly bokeh.

Macey, thank you for allowing us to photograph your senior portrait session. It was amazing to get to know you. We know that you’ll be amazing as you take on the world!

The Aerie at Eagle Landing Wedding Photos

Jul . 17 . 2018

The bride with her junior bridesmaids are picture-perfect at The Aerie at Eagle Landing.

Stunning Wedding Photography at The Aerie

Darren and AmyLynn’s wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing was picture-perfect! From the stunning bride, to the Pinterest-perfect reception, this was such a beautiful day to photograph.

We love being wedding photographers at The Aerie at Eagle Landing. This wedding venue has it all: from intimate rooms, to wide open golf courses, and it allows us as wedding photographers to capture so many different beautiful moments and moods at the wedding. AmyLynn was full of laughter, until just before she walked down the aisle: And then the smiles came out again!

These groomsmen loved their whiskey flasks!

Portraits of the bride and groom in the golden hour before sunset…so warm and lovely.

A little peek-a-boo from a bridesmaid made us all smile!

Photos of the bride and groom outside of The Aerie with a classic car are so fun. Darren & AmyLynn’s wedding party looked great around the Bentley!

AmyLynn had so many Pinterest-worthy props at her wedding. We loved photographing them. This one was especially lovely: the silver I-Do fork set.

Postlewaits Wedding Photography: Jason and Kristina

Jul . 6 . 2018

We love wedding photography at Postlewait’s Country Weddings, precisely because of moments like this!

We love photographing at the beautiful Postlewait’s Country Weddings!

Jennifer had a wonderful time as the wedding photographer at Jason & Kristina’s wedding! It was a beautiful Spring day at Postlewait’s Country Weddings in Canby, Oregon. As you can see, Kristina really got a kick out of wearing her cowboy boots at her wedding….

The bride and groom had a wonderful sense of humor, and we were cracking up the whole day.

Read on to hear more about her epic cake smash, and more!

We love the little Saloon at Postlewait’s; it’s just made for wedding photographers!

Have you ever seen Rock, Paper, Scissors at a wedding? Well, now you have.

First dance in Postlewait’s Country Weddings’ barn.

The barn at Postlewaits Country Weddings is a lovely, rustic venue for a wedding reception.

Kristina’s Big Fabulous Greek Family came together to cater the event themselves, and the food was amazing!

Everybody loved the toasts at this wedding!

Kristina and Jason’s wedding cake cutting was impressive!

Their cake smash was epic. Kristina played it cool to start, but then she went in with a complete stiff arm and managed to shove cake straight up Jason’s nose. But that wasn’t even the best part; before Jason could get revenge, Kristina grabbed his wrist and inhaled the piece of cake that he was holding, effectively disarming him.

Now that is a cake smash!

A kiss at sunset finishes off the wedding day nicely!

Bridger and Cameron’s Wedding in Abigail’s Garden at Abernethy Center

Jun . 29 . 2018

We loved celebrating this sweet couple, Bridger and Cameron, at their wedding at Abernethy Center.

We had a great time photographing at the Abernethy Center’s Abigail’s Garden, in Oregon City.

Every detail was perfect, the maroon color palette was absolutely stunning. Everyone was so kind and fun. Check out these wedding details:

Bridger and Cameron were wonderful hosts at their wedding, so thoughtful and inclusive.

Cameron and Bridger could best be described as laid back and full of joy. And their wedding definitely reflected that throughout. They had many personal details throughout their special day. But the most touching part was how they incorporated sweet reminders of Cameron’s father who had passed away. He had his own chair at the ceremony with his plaid shirt hanging on the back of it. And both the bride and groom had a piece of jewelry with her dad’s ashes in it, as a reminder that he will always be a part of their new family. They did a fabulous job honoring his memory. The reception was a blast and party was pumping… going as far as pulling the photographers out on the dance floor! And how could we say ‘no’ to that?

Bridger and her bridesmaids had so much fun together as they got ready for the wedding!

Abigail’s Garden at Abernethy is such a breathtaking wedding venue!

The wedding party looked great all together in Abigail’s Garden at Abernethy Center!

Congratulations Bridger and Cameron! We wish you all the best!

Every detail was absolutely perfect. (And yes, they did put a bird on it.)

And the reception was a blast! The tented area at the Abernethy Center Abigail’s Garden is a fantastic place for a party.

Congratulations, Bridger and Cameron! You were such a delight to work with; we loved being your wedding photographers at Abernethy Center!

We are so excited for their wedding at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. We cannot wait!

Chanda and Josh’s Wedding at Jenkins Estate

Apr . 16 . 2018

The newlyweds incorporated the Jewish tradition of Yichud, taking some time alone to reflect on their journey together

We love photographing at Jenkins Estate in Beaverton!

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:

What was your favorite moment of your wedding?

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.

What was the funniest thing that happened at your wedding?

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.

What was your favorite detail from your wedding?

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.

Where did you find your wedding attire?

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!

Can you give us a list of your wedding vendors?

Abrah and Kevin’s wedding at The Aerie

Feb . 23 . 2018

What a good looking couple! We love the variety of wedding portrait locations at The Aerie.

Summer wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing

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.

The bride and groom at the entrance to The Aerie at Eagle Landing.

The entryway at The Aerie is such a beautiful location for portraits!

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.

A fun sparkler send off for the happy couple, and a perfect scene outside The Aerie
