Portland Oregon Wedding and Portrait Photographer
Due to the rain on the wedding day, we did a “day after shoot” with Michelle and Doug. During the last part while we were on a narrow bridge, another bear came up the stairs towards us. Being a responsible photographer, instead of running away, grabbed a photo as quickly as I could. He was camera shy so he turned away and walked away. It is the last photo, look between the kissing couple.
Enjoy!
Michelle and Doug had a fun and action filled wedding at Yosemite Tenaya Lodge! The ceremony was at the Yosemite Chapel, a beautiful small chapel! The day started beautifully but then rain moved in to Yosemite Valley with force. Just before the ceremony started, Michelle pulled in with the bridal limo-van. At the same time, a bear showed up. All the guests rushed outside! The ceremony was short and sweet, and then we headed to the Tenaya Lodge for the reception! The DJ had 4 or 5 HUGE boxes of costumes, and through out the day they got used. He choreographed routines for some of the guests. The wedding favor was a bottle of delicious honey. Salmon with wasabi mashed potatoes was a highlight!
Here are some pictures:

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
Simone and Graham’s wedding was at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. We had a great time, and got some awesome photos. I will write more later but here are the photos:
