Susan and Ken

Susan and Ken joined me at Edgefield before Christmas for some engagement photos. I met Ken for the first time, as he lives in England, and the three of us had a great time finding cool spots around the grounds. Thanks guys, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Elise, Tim, and Pearl

Elise, Tim, and Pearl joined Brad and I at Pittock mansion for a quick and cold engagement session. We can't wait to head over to Bend next month to photograph their big day! Thanks guys, see you soon.

Jessica and Chad

Jessica and Chad tied the knot on December 16th at the beautiful Treasury Ballroom downtown (http://www.treasuryballroom.com). Jessica and Chad were willing to bear the chilly weather for some great shots with the city-scape and the front of the Treasury. The flowers were done by Jitterblooms (http://jitterblooms.com/) and were perfect for this winter wedding. After a very sweet ceremony and a great dinner, the party began! DJ Eric Wright (http://allwrightmusic.com/) kept the dance floor hopping. I have to say, Jessica's Grandpa can dance! I was fortunate to have Alexis of www.jasminephotography.com as my sidekick, which is always a blast. Congratulations Jessica and Chad! Thank you, and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness.

Tina and Chris

Tina and Chris were married on December 10th at the adorable Canby Pioneer Chapel (http://www.canbyweddingchapel.com/), with the reception at the Antonia Ballroom (http://www.antoniaballroom.com/Antonia_Ballroom.htm). Tina wore a unique black and white gown, and Chris wore a huge smile all day (as well as a tux!). Beaverton Bakery (http://beavertonbakery.com/) did an awesome job designing the cake to match the gown, and it was some of the best tasting wedding cake I've ever had. I was fortunate to bring out Jonathon Michael as my second shooter. He is new to Portland, and very talented. Check out his work at http://www.jonathanmichael.com/. Congratulations Tina and Chris and best wishes!

melissa and ryan

Melissa and Ryan met me at Pittock mansion for a chilly but fun engagement session before the holidays. I had a brand new lens to play with (35mm, f1.4L for the photo junkies out there) and could have photographed this adorable couple all day. I can't wait for their wedding in June! Thanks guys, see you soon.
