Featured: Alicia & Michael {Portland Bride & Groom}

in , ,

A few of my details from Alicia & Michael's gorgeous wedding are included in the Summer/Fall 2012 issue of Portland Bride & Groom magazine - check out the online feature here, or pick up the magazine at many locations in Portland! I assisted this wedding for Jay Eads. He was so generous to include me in the feature, many photographers would not do that and I'm so grateful!

I was delighted to 2nd shoot for my friend Kaitlin of Love Lit Photography (see her post of the day here) for Torii & Drew's beautiful wedding at the Aerie at Eagle Landing. It was a dream to shoot - wonderful people, an adorable couple, and the sunshine! We were lucky to get that in March! What a great way to start the 2012 wedding season. Congratulations, Torii & Drew!

harriette is my best friend's younger sister, so i've known her for many years. not to be totally cheesy but she has grown up to be so beautiful and talented! she has always been quite the fashonista, and she's now studying at the art institute of portland. i photographed her senior portraits a few years ago, and was excited to get to shoot with her again for fun. we got together for a last-minute test shoot before it started pouring rain - can't wait to work with you again soon, harriette!

on this wintry day, alyssa & i spent an afternoon shooting all around nw portland, stopped for a drink, shot some more, and called it a day when the light started to fade. we lost her lucky rabbit's foot, and found it again (phew!). the camera loves alyssa - this test shoot is hopefully the first of many collaborations! we already have another one in mind... but you'll have to wait and see.

i have always loved the outside of this store - believe antiques. sometime i will have to actually go inside.

my friend katy and i took advantage of the magnificent sunshine last weekend and drove up to the gorge with two awesome couples. the day was relaxed and fun and silly and beautiful, the perfect saturday adventure - especially in the midst of our rainy winter. check out katy's images from the day here, and mine below. i love how two photographers can go to the same places, with the same models, and come out with images that are completely different from each other. thanks for sharing this day with me, katy!! :)

Megan & Nathan {Philomath Wedding Photography}

in ,

Megan and Nathan's wedding (my first in winter!) was held at the Philomath Scout Lodge in Philomath, Oregon. Christmas carols, snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, twinkling lights and poinsetta centerpieces - everything was lovely! Megan and Nathan met through friends and were together for over 5 years before they got engaged. That solidity and comfort with each other really showed throughout the entire day. The two of them, and their friends and family, were incredibly sweet and welcoming. They were also very good sports about the cold during portraits - and the wintry fog was so beautiful. It was a wonderful day and I was happy to be a part of it! To the new Mr. & Mrs. Hickman, I wish you all the love and happiness in the world!

Isn't Nathan's car awesome??! He restored it himself. I got to ride in it around the parking lot, pretty cool. ;)
