Meagen and Troy | Vancouver Garden Wedding

A wedding on the lawn with family and friends. That would describe Meagen and Troy’s wedding on August 19th at her parent’s home in Vancouver, Washington. Their home easily accommodated the 200 guests that arrived and were greeted with sparkling wine on that hot summer day.

Honestly, I was a bit apprehensive about meeting Troy because...

Last week I photographed an engagement session with Stephanie and Damon as we walked around downtown Portland. They wanted more of an urban feel for their session. It was a fun creative exercise for me and an opportunity to walk around with them and explain how I work. They are getting married in October of...

Shaun was returning home after serving in the Marine Corps and Dara was a flight attendant (Shaun calls her his stewardess) for Horizon Air. Everyone joked that Dara has a thing for...

Kaylin and Bradley | Persimmon Country Club Portland

Six degrees of separation is the hypothesis that anyone on Earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries. This summer it would seem that three degrees of separation would be more appropriate. All my couples seem to know each other.
Kaylin and...

Jennie and Cameron | The Old Church Portland

Apparently, the theme for the weekend was old churches. Jennie and Cameron were married on July 30th at The Old Church in downtown Portland. Literally an old church that’s nestled amongst new construction on all sides. The day was sunny and warm with a chance of sprinkles. Sounds like a typical weather forecast or a...
