    COVID-19 and Weddings

    Can I take a minute and just acknowledge that this year has been just downright discouraging? Not even just from a business perspective although that hasn't been great either. But this year in general has been hard on most everyone. First the shutdown. Minimal social life for 2 months. Then the slow reopening and reconnecting. Now the masks across everyone's faces. The fear lurking behind someone's eyes. The stark reality that what we knew as normal may never come back. Now a

    Original Wedding Day ~ Anna & Brad ~ Heceta Beach, Florence OR

    This lovely couple met through Bottled, an international messaging app. When they first started corresponding, she was in Germany and he was in Oregon. Now here they are, 3 years later, and they were planning a wedding for 5-23-2020. Then Covid19 happened. Like many others they rescheduled their wedding for a later date. Mostly due to family who would be traveling internationally. So instead of a wedding; they took a long weekend to Florence, Oregon; and decided to have some

    Styled Shoot ~ The Gray Lab, Salem OR

    Recently I had a wonderful opportunity to work with a bunch of talented vendors to create this boho styled shoot! I am always intrigued as to the gifts that others have for making goodies, writing beautiful penmanship, crafting jewelry, etc. There are so many details and choices that go into making a wedding day. And I am honored each time I am chosen to be the photographer who gets to capture those details. Vendors who collaborated to make this shoot possible: Photographer:

    Christmas Wedding ~ Elizabeth & Ron ~ Central Lutheran Church, Eugene OR

    I have known this couple individually for little over 2 years. Ron personally trained me at my previous day job. Once I was trained though, I didn't see or talk to Ron on a daily basis as he worked out of another location. Elizabeth and I met when she and her team rotated through the office where I worked and became good friends who communicated online during and after work. Then one day, she said "I have a crush on someone" and told me who. And she asked my opinion on whethe

    Fall Family Celebration ~ Amanda & Jeanna ~ Florence OR

    Had a blast celebrating with these two lovely ladies! Some time ago when they visited Florence, one fell in love with the small town, the quaint gazebo and shops on Bay St. Since then she has been planning the decorations and details of their wedding. They encorporated fall colors, pumpkins and paper lanterns to make the gazebo and surrounding pathway enchanting. The timing was also perfect as the first look, portraits and ceremony took place in the couple hours prior to suns

    Adventures in Second Shooting

    March: I second shot a wedding where details were part of my role to capture. As the couple were getting ready in a hotel, there weren't a lot of options to set up details for photos. I shot a majority of the detail photos in the elevator as I liked the wood planking floor as a flatlay backdrop versus the distracting carpet in the hallway. Yes, I got some interesting looks as people saw me when the elevator door opened. Lol. April: For this wedding, I arrived a little before

    Romanian Wedding ~ Monica & Joe ~ Philadelphia Romanian Pentecostal Church, Portland OR

    This was my first Romanian wedding. It was a great learning experience as there are several differences between most of the weddings I've shot and a Romanian wedding. First thing to know is that the ceremony is much more ceremonial. There are several mini speeches interspersed with musical performances. The ceremony can last 1.5 to 2 hours. Second thing to know is the reception is about the food. It is considered rude to not eat. And you will not leave hungry. It is a feast t

    Washington Family Wedding ~ Fran & Dan ~ Vancouver WA

    During the toasts, the bride's daughter (age 14) shared the story of the proposal. After the groom asked the bride to marry him, he asked her to be his daughter. She explained what a special moment that was for her and her mom as she hadn't had a father figure. Later, these two also shared a very special father/daughter dance where they entertained everyone with an ongoing synchronized dance. This celebration was a full-on reminder that on a wedding day only one thing really

    These two grew up in the same area, traveled the world solo before reconnecting and becoming a couple. As a couple they traveled even more before settling in Bend. During their travels, they even lived in their car, Gary, for about 3 months. Now there is a test of a relationship. Being able to live together in close quarters! Dear Audrey & Sean, I so enjoyed being a part of your special day! You two have already had so many adventures but now you will have so many more! Enjoy

    All weddings are special but it isn't everyday that I get to do a lifelong friend's wedding. The groom and I have known each other since birth. Our mothers grew up together. And while we weren't always close, we became friends again as adults. Because of our history, this wedding was a bit nastalgic. But I am so happy for him. He found a good match! Dear Josh & Adrian, I am so happy for both of you! You have found someone who appreciates the humor of the other. You complement
