nate + tawny // portland wedding photography

the sweetest backyard wedding, full of sunshine, family and friends. truly what a wedding is all about - and why i am all the more grateful after more than a decade of this work to be invited to witness these moments and show you all the beauty i see.

anders + brie // short sands beach

“being rock, being gas, being mist, being Mind, being the particles traveling among the galaxies at the speed of light, you have come here, my beloved. and your blue eyes shine, so beautiful, so deep. you have taken the path traced for you from the non-beginning and the never-ending. you say that on your way here you have gone through many millions of births and deaths. innumerable times you have been transformed into firestorms in outer space. you have used your own body to measure the age of the mountains and rivers. you have manifested yourself as trees, grass, butterflies, single-celled beings, and as chrysanthemums. but the eyes with which you look at me this morning tell me that you have never died. your smile invites me into the game whose beginning no one knows, the game of hide-and-seek.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
