Inspired Photo Blog

The 6 degrees of separation theme that I write about so often continues when I was commissioned to photograph the wedding of Reagen and Trevor on August 10th, 2007 at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. They are related to Jennie and Cameron, who commissioned me last year to photograph their wedding.

We photographed their engagement session along a wall mural painted by local high school artists. This used to be one of my favorite places to photograph couples. The light is extraordinary, soft and indirect. On sunny days, the wall would block the sun and glance over the top hitting the yellow building across from the wall. This provided a beautiful, natural fill light for my portraits with the perfect touch of warmth. Recently, the whole block was leveled as Vancouver builds a new complex in the downtown corridor. I’ve lost my special place, but we took advantage of it while it lasted for our session.

Reagen and Trevor were a blast to work with that day. Reagen is a natural beauty and Trevor was ready to do anything I asked him to do. We had a lot of fun that day and I’m really looking forward to their wedding day. Here are a few of my favorites from that session and a location that’s been lost to progress. Congratulations Reagen and Trevor on your engagement!
