Whenever I tell people I’m heading to Idaho, they ask, “Idaho? Why??” I’m guessing it’s because they haven’t been there, because it’s quite beautiful. I’ve photographed several weddings and portraits sessions there, and the landscape is always stunning. I’d never been to the resort town of McCall, however. And yet when I mentioned it to anyone I knew in Idaho,…

Where do you begin in sharing about two great friends that get married? Dayn and I have been friends for a number of years, sharing videography, photography, dorky humor, newgrass music appreciation, travel, and other pursuits in common. (You can see some of his videos–including a very clever love song for his girlfriend…–and my comments about him, in this post.…

If you’ve ever been to Tillamook, Oregon, you probably are familiar with both the Tillamook Cheese Factory, and its neighbor, the Blue Heron Cheese and Wine Company. The Pastega family own and operate Blue Heron, and Jessica Pastega was married this past weekend to Mychal Bush, a contractor in Tillamook. These people know how to throw a party. The wedding…

Sometimes I’m so excited about photos I take, I can’t wait to edit and share them. This is one of those times. I shot a small wedding at the ever-beautiful Mt Hood Bed and Breakfast yesterday, on Mt Hood, and although it was cool and windy for the first day of July, nonetheless it was a beautiful time. It is…

Being a Northwest native, there’s something about the Oregon/Washington Coast that’s in my blood. Whenever I travel overseas, one of the places I most want to go when I return home is the Oregon beach. (It helps that on United Airlines, one of the 3 images they play in a slideshow on every seat in the plane is of Haystack…

I’ve been photographing a lot of doctors lately, but Ruth and Kevin’s wedding was especially enjoyable: two doctors in their twenties, one working in genetics, and the other a veterinarian. They share a love for good food (which they shared with each other during the ceremony), a love for laughter, and, obviously, a love for each other. Ruth and Kevin…

I didn’t know Rachael and Alex were Chiropractors until Rachael told Alex to sit down, took his head in her hands, and started twisting it around until it popped. Now that’s true love for you. Actually, I’d met Rachael and Alex at a wedding I photographed last September at The Resort at the Mountain, Allison and Jared’s. In the PhotoBooth,…

An Australian getting married to a Cambodian on a beach in Thailand. That’s a recipe for a beautiful day. Seth and Gabi and their families and friends gathered together at a small resort on the beach south of Bangkok, and we all had a great time. Seth’s a talented musician and sang during the ceremony. And Gabi–she’s gorgeous. I have…

Nick and Maria came to Portland from Chicago for their New Year’s Eve wedding at the Arista Ballroom. After a beautiful ceremony (officiated by Maureen Haley) and dinner (with beautiful flowers by Broadway Floral), the DJ started spinning some tunes, and didn’t stop until well into 2010. Which is great, because Nick and Maria and their family and friends like…

Facebook sure is a lot of fun, and aside from the fun of keeping up with friends and family, I have another reason to appreciate it: Julie Moon saw my ad for wedding photography, and hired me to tell the story of her wedding on Long Island, New York. No problem, I told her. I photographed a wedding in New…

University campuses are wonderful places for photography. They’re well-manicured, spacious, beautiful, and include plenty of solid old buildings. I was pretty happy to have the opportunity to photograph Christi and Vicente’s wedding ceremony and portraits at University of Portland‘s Chapel of Christ the Teacher. Christi is an alum of UP, and we had a wonderful time walking the campus and…
