Erica & Matthew | August 27, 2010

Erica & Matthew exchanged vows at the First Baptist Church in downtown Portland on August 27, 2010.  We had the opportunity to create a fun mix of more traditional portraits up by the alter coupled with hip urban shots outdoors.  Erica & Matthew were very playful in front of the camera and we even had the chance to stop some traffic.  I always enjoy doing that!

Following the ceremony, guests headed over to the Heritage Ballroom at the Governor Hotel for the reception.  The room is over 6000 square feet with a sweeping 35 foot ceiling.  It is truly an incredible location to photograph.  A special thanks to Anthony with A Sound Choice Entertainment for keeping the party going well into the evening.  He has a talent for keeping everyone on the dance floor.

Congratulations to Erica & Matthew.  Make sure to check out the couple’s sneak peek slideshow.

Joan & James | A Portland Luau

To say that I am excited for Joan & James’ destination wedding is an understatement.  They are getting married on November 6, 2010 in Oahu.  I have my room, hotel, and rental car reserved and can’t wait to board the plane!  Joan & James brought some of the Hawaiian energy here by throwing a Luau in Portland for local friends and family.  The event took place at the Lucky Labrador Beer Hall in NW Portland and included a totally rockin’ beach scene backdrop.  It made it like we were right there, kickin’ it in the sun, in Oahu.  When I closed my eyes, I could really feel it!  Can’t wait for November…

Krista & Eric | August 21, 2010

Krista has a real affinity for the Portland skyline and bridges so it was no wonder that she and Eric chose the RiverPlace Hotel for their wedding.  The ceremony was held outdoors in the Riverview Courtyard with a gorgeous sweeping view of all that Portland has to offer.  Krista & Eric were married on August 21, 2010 back when the sun would come out and warm your body all over.  Remember that just a few weeks ago?!?!?!  To symbolize their union as a family, Krista gave Eric and his son Zach special matching bracelets.  We then headed off over the bridge to capture some additional photos of the newlyweds using the Hawthorne Bridge as our backdrop.

Make sure not to miss Krista & Eric’s sneak peek slideshow.

Portland Maternity Session

We were in the studio this week for R & M’s maternity session.  They brought some wonderful props, my most favorite of which was a fluffy soccer ball.  Can you guess the gender?  Here is a sneak peek at some of the images from our most recent maternity session:

Portland Portrait Photography | Hunter

We have the wonderful opportunity to document Hunter as a newborn and as a 6 & 12 month “old”.  He is amazingly cute, highly energetic, and clearly still likes having his picture taken.  We recently met up with Monica & Danny at the Hoyt Arboretum for Hunter’s 6 month session.  It was such a treat getting to see him again and watch him show off his amazing sitting up skills.

Here is Hunter as a newborn:
