Nicole and Chris tied the rope at the beautiful Jamison Restaurant in the Pearl District of Portland.

Continue readingI had a chance to be up when the lunar eclipse happened last night, so I decided to put my 2x extender and my long lens to use. Put my Canon 5D Mark III on a tripod and took various exposures. This is my favorite. I think you can see various planets as well. Apparently most of Portland had clouds so I guess I got …

Lauren and Trevor’s winter wedding was at Grace Lutheran Church in Portland. Grace Lutheran Church is a beautiful church with lots of stain glass.

One of the most fun part of the wedding is that a friend of the couple who could not attend the wedding was able …

I loved working with Laurel and Gabe. They are a super sweet couple that was also relaxed and fun! We started the day at Laurel’s parent’s house. Laurel’s dad David proudly showcased probably the most impressive guy shoes I have seen at a wedding – they glow! We then moved the Havurah Shalom. The couple signed their ketubah and then the ceremony itself was fun …

Then they waved at everyone from their balcony. I knew I would like them a lot – we had a great engagement session around their place at the pearl district, and …
