Cathy and Ahmed had us photograph them in beautiful Irving Park in North East Portland. Their wedding is just around the corner! We can’t wait!
Here’s a few fun shots from their session. To see more go to:

After their fabulous wedding at Playa Fiesta in Puerto Vallarta, I teamed up with Melissa and Bryan and did some shots around Puerto Vallarta. Here are some:
This was one of the best times I had at a wedding - great people and great location! Playa Fiesta Beach Club and Hotel at Puerto Vallarta is one of the top places for a wedding at Puerto Vallarta, and I can see why. The owners, Lindsay and Adam do a great job of getting things done without being overbearing, and things ran very smoothly. The setting is right at the beach!
Melissa and Bryan’s wedding had a lot of neat touches! Their “engagement photo” for their signature matte was a caricature drawn by a local artist. Mariachi’s escorted them with their music before the ceremony. The goodie bags they prepared for their guests had everything including a shot glass and a salt shaker! They even have a customized logo, very cool. They asked their guests to make a wish for them and throw the sea shells that were placed on their seats back to the sea.
Here are some of my favorites:
I am transferring some of my older blog entries to my new blog.
After coming down from Tri-cities for their engagement love story pictures, Joe and Carrie got married in Las Vegas, at the Bellagio South Chapel. Their reception was at the Paris Hotel, Eiffel Tower Restaurant. We had some great time at their wedding in Las Vegas. Check out and see what you think!
Here is a quick preview from Michelle and Doug’s Yosemite wedding, with ceremony at Yosemite Valley Chapel with reception following at Tenaya Lodge
The next day we did a day after session as well, with a close encounter with a bear.
I love how this photo as it shows the dramatic clouds over half dome. From left to right: Tenaya Canyon, Half Dome, Liberty Cap, Little Yosemite Valley, Nevada Fall
I had a great time shooting Lance and Anastasia’s engagement portraits at the Reed College in Portland! They are swing dancers as well, so it will be really fun to shoot their wedding!
One of the things I found as a photographer and a guest of weddings is that people are much more natural when they are not posing for “posed” photos but just being silly and being themselves. To let guests have some fun photos and show off their fun side, we decided to offer a photobooth for weddings (or any party!). The idea is simple: bring a cool lighting set up, and let people pose themselves! I think a photobooth (or portrait station) is a great way to spice up things a little bit.
The other good part - you do not have to have us be the main photographer for your event. So if your photographer does not offer this service and you want a photo booth rental, come talk to us!
Here are some cool ones from our last wedding:
Pamela and Aaron have a beautiful house with lots of bright colors. They are also a modern couple who appreciates a more unique approach to photography, not just look at the camera and smile.
So when it came to their engagement pictures, I wanted lots of bold color, unique backgrounds and compositions. Lucky for me, Portland has a lot of cool locations for such engagement portraits. Here are some:
