Weddings

christen & paul

Paul and I first met in 7th grade.  Friends through high school, roommates in college.  I love being a photographer at weddings but when you know someone this well, it's even more meaningful when you know everyone around you.  Congratulations Paul and Christen and I wish you both all the happiness in the world.  The wedding was held at Flinn Block Hall in Albany, Oregon.hanging dress flinn block hall albanyalbany flinn block weddingalbany flowers wedding flinn blockalbany street art weddingoregon getting ready photos black whiteoregon bride getting ready black white mirrorsmiling child in mirror weddingmother bride getting ready black white albany oregonbride groom albany portraits flinn blockunder bridge wedding portraitssmiling bride groom flinn block staircasewedding portrait under bridge albany corvallisbride groom portrait good lightbride groom portrait albany in fallbridal portrait orange flowers path trees outside beautifulserious bride groom individual portraits albanyalbany flinn block wedding portraits pieralbany on pier oregon flinn block weddingoregon bride and groom smiling portraitsgood photography albany oregon weddingtop wedding photographer bridal party albanydowntown albany bridal party portraitsalbany bridal party portraits good lightbridal party individual portraits personaldowntown green wall albany flinn block bridal partyphotojournalism good wedding guest pictureflower girl ring bearer albany weddinggroom parents walking down aislebride walking down aisle flinn block aislealbany flinn block wedding black whitewedding ceremony kiss albanyring shot 50 50 newspaper dispenserreception smiles fun albany flinn blockkids at albany wedding receptionguests at wedding receptionguest children at albany wedding receptionfirst dance albany weddingalbany flinn block hall first dance black whiteVisit my client proofing site to view slideshows & purchase prints!

I'm an Ohio destination wedding photographer.  I promise you though, I'm NOT leaving Portland.  I photographed this one earlier this year near Cleveland, and this month I had the priviledge of visiting Columbus, Ohio for a beautiful fall Midwestern wedding.  I absolutely loved the fall colors and decor, and Katie knew what she was doing when she decided to get married in Columbus, where she grew up.  The reception was held at the Scioto Reserve Country Club, and the wedding at Liberty Presbyterian Barn Church.  Nina Banks did an exceptional job coordinating this wedding, Flowers by Hilliard Floral, and video by Blue Skies Video.  Also, I would like everyone to know that I went to Schmidt's Sausage Haus (featured on Man vs Food) and I ate all-you-can-eat sausage and shared a half-lb cream puff.  See?  Now EVERYONE wants to be an Ohio destination wedding photographer!  A huge thanks to Ashley for shooting (and eating) with me.

I have been SO fortunate this year to work with clients who are truly remarkable people.  And that makes me love my job.  Jessica & Bryce are exceptionally wonderful.  The reception and getting ready photos were done at the Leftbank Annex in Portland, Oregon, and they shared their vows at Augustana Lutheran Church.  Flowers were done by Jessica's friend, Chiharu Dinsmore, and catering by Bon Appetit.  And yes, this first frame is ONE picture.  Thank you for your cool angles Leftbank! leftbank annex wedding dress shot portlandi do wedding shoes details portlandbride on one couch leftbank portraitleftbank annex portland bride and groom portraitsbride at leftbank annexbride sitting portrait leftbank portlandaugustana lutheran church portlandgroom getting ready before portland weddinglutheran portland wedding ceremonyportland bride comes down aislepanorama old church in portland oregon weddingwedding ceremony portlandbride groom reflection off piano weddingwedding kneeling altarportland wedding just married come down aislefirst kiss just married portland weddinggroom looking at bride after ceremonybridal party portrait play yardbridal party ivy old fenceportland wedding party picturesportland bridal party portraits in front of churchbride groom wedding portraits in portlandportland wedding portrait through bike rackleftbank annex bride groom portraitsbride groom photography leftbank annexleftbank annex portland bride groom photosbride and groom portrait portlandindividual portland bride groom photosbrick wall leftbank portraitleftbank annex portland oregon picturesring shot crosswalk portlandkoozie ring shot portland oregoncake and table decorations floral arrangementsbouquet flowers on table portland wedding styleblurry bride groom entranceleftbank annex light bride entrancefirst dances leftbank annex portlandportland leftbank first dancecute kids at leftbank annex weddingcutting cake at leftbank annex portland weddingfun dancing leftbank annexleftbank annex dancinglaughing black white wedding dancingleftbank portland wedding dancingparents grandparents sitting watching dance weddingartistic creative dancing shot shutter drag leftbank portlandleftbank annex wedding portland cars drivingVisit my client proofing site to view slideshows & purchase prints!
