I had to go ALL the way across the river for Carrie & John's engagement shoot. And it was worth it. Despite their mad Huskies vs Cougars rivalry, Carrie & John put their differences aside and totally had a good time and made some gorgeous pictures with us. I'm so excited for their wedding in Vancouver at the Pearson Air Museum! Big thanks to Ashley Forrette for shooting with me, without whom many beautiful pictures & my cheesy jokes would not be possible.
I just love when clients are willing to come to North Portland to shoot with us. There is SO much interesting stuff here: textures, bridges, undeveloped areas, migratory birds. But when a couple comes along as ridiculous as Kristine & Paul with the hair and the height and the smiley goodness, everything else just gets overwhelmed and let's them be the star of the show. And that is fine with me. Thanks to Ashley Forrette for letting me be her shootin' pardner again.
I met Mark & Liz near the Park Blocks on a very-questionably-weather-day. Portland has had a lot of them lately. However, on this particular morning, the heat generated from Mark & Liz's smokin'-hotness just so happened to keep the rain away. It was science. On a side note, I will also say that Mark & Liz have the kind of chemistry that shows up in movies and magazines but is so real it gives you chills to be around it. Can't wait for their wedding and reception.
Thanks so much Mark & Liz!!!
Beth & Dimitri do things a little different. They have fun. Ok, so other people know how to have fun, but they pulled off a crazy-fun, intimate, and personal wedding. The wedding ceremony was at their parent's house, then we drove down the street to an old historic house with this sunlight that pretty much made my face hurt from smiling. Then I left them at the Benson Hotel to eat more delicious food. The next day was a kicking reception party at their house in N Portland. Everyone had fun. It's the kind of wedding that they will remember for a long time. And also, when you meet Dimitri and Beth, you will like them. Because it is fate. And I have pictures to prove it. A huge, huge, huge thanks to Ashley Forrette for makin' pichers with me.
