BRYAN + KRISTIN | PORTLAND, OR

__________

You know it's going to be a great wedding when the Father of the Bride offers you a shot of whiskey and let me tell ya, it hit the spot. I spent most of the pre-wedding shots with the groom's party because I was working with Aubrie, who is a great photographer and fun to work with, who in turn got to spend her time with the bridal party. A trade off when you shoot with two photographers.
These guys kept me laughing the whole time, it was really cool getting to know them. Plus, Bryan is an identical twin, like myself. Twin power.
Kristin and Bryan exchanged their vows in a beautiful church filled with a ton of candles. The reception was at a hotel downtown where I witnessed their friend bust a move to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. A definite night to remember.

Mylene + Kyung | Beaverton, OR

__________

Mylene and Kyung had a great wedding and celebrated afterward with some amazing homemade Filipino cuisine! I have to say, one of the best things about being a wedding photojournalist is being able to document and experience a wide range of traditions and culture, all for one common purpose, love. They did a money dance where I swear they ended up with enough money for a down payment on a house. It was just a huge celebration and party with family from all over the world and I was happy to be apart of it.

ART + HOPE

__________

Jeff Beauchamp is a award winning artist--who happens to be my cousin in-law. He is putting on an art show to raise money for Barack Obama's Presidential Campaign. Not only was I excited about the art show and the cause but one of my photos that I took while in Spain inspired Jeff to make a painting of it and it will be shown at the art show.
