Jill & Robert’s New Year’s Wedding at The Governor Hotel in Portland, Oregon

Jill and Robert were married at the sophisticated Governor Hotel, located right in the heart of downtown Portland.  A favorite spot for us! The evening started out with some getting ready photos of Jill and her bridesmaids, including Rob’s daughter.  After some formal family photos in the lobby, Jill & Robert took off for some romantic photos around the hotel.  It’s always a fun challenge for us to blend locations around the hotel we already know of and love, but to also find some hidden areas that we get to discover for the first time.

The ceremony took place in the intimate setting of the Renaissance Room.  Immediately following, we moved into the Grand Ballroom for dinner, toasting, and dancing to both celebrate and bring in the new year!

In case you could not figure out, the bride and groom are big time Portland Trailblazers fans! Another cool idea: their cake topper was a pez dispenser. Their table settings had pictures of current and past Trailblazers.

Discussion on NPR About Photojournalism

The style of wedding photography we do is called photojournalistic wedding photography. Recently, I was runner up for international organization WPJA’s Photojournalistic Photographer of the Year, and won also first and second places in WPPI’s various wedding photojournalism categories.

Wedding photojournalism shares a lot of the same elements as real photojournalism (though there are some important differences, for example the family shots that nobody seems to like but a lot of people seem to want). Capturing the moments and  documenting the wedding day without directing in an artistic way is key to my wedding coverage.

The points raised in the following NPR segment are frequently discussed at photographer forums. I thought some of you will find it interesting:

In A Photoshop Age, Can You Believe Your Eyes

Pretty cool read.
