Mike and Gina are tying the knot in just a couple of months so it was nice to get out and do their engagement photos. They are super cute with one another and Gina was constantly smiling. In one photo she has this "look" that is priceless. During their shoot we had an unexpected guest come up to us and really wanted in on the action--you'll have to check out the post to see :)

I'll see you two in March--can't wait!

Daniel Stark Photography | New Website

The "NEW" Daniel Stark Photography


__________



When I have time sensitive and paying jobs like weddings it's really hard to find time to do other business projects such as building a new website. So needless to say this project took me about 6 months to complete. I am really proud of the new look and hope you guys like it too!

If you have a sec definitely check it out! www.danielstarkphotography.com

Sarah + Jesse, Engagement | Portland City Park Blocks, Ore.

Under the Bright Lights


_________

Sarah and Jesse were really fun to photograph and they didn't let the rain get to them! For a few shots we went up to the top deck of Sarah's sisters apartment building. There was a pool up there but no one was game for swimming shots ;-)

Their wedding is less than two months away and I am really looking forward to it--my first of 2010!

Rio Con Brio | Album Cover

album cover blogs-01


__________


When I first met Tim Connell he was playing mandolin at a wedding I was photographing. It was the perfect music following a wedding. We exchanged our information to refer each other and since then he has hired me to take photos of his band - Rio Con Brio - which includes an amazing guitarist, Mike Burdette. We went out to a very cool winery, Adelshiem Vineyard to do the shoot.

I just received in the mail their new CD. I was so happy to see the photos from the shoot!

Go pick up their CD or hire them for your event!

Bravo 2010 Wedding Guide | My Ad

2010 Bravo Wedding Guide Ad


_________


I just got a copy of the 2010 Bravo Wedding Guide where I have an ad in there. The Bravo Guide is "the" wedding guide for Oregon and Washington. I rarely ever advertise but this is the place to do it if you are. Anyone can pick up a copy (for free) at pretty much any shop/place wedding related.

As a bonus they used a couple of my photos throughout the book! I was really happy to see that!

Above is my ad and below are some shots I took of my photos in the book.

Go pick one up!

I will also use this post to as my "wedding photo of the day." Head over to Oregon Bride and vote for me! I am working on getting some stickers for those of you who voted :)

Cheers!

Wedding Photo of the Day | Oregon Bride Best of 2010

Going to the Chapel

__________

I will be posting a "wedding photo of the day" until February 15th. Why you ask? Because Oregon Bride is putting together a "Best of 2010" list of Portland area wedding vendors that will be featured in their fall/winter 2010 issue. The catch is the public (YOU) have to vote on who you think is the "Best (x) of 2010."

So I need your help. Vote for Daniel Stark Photography as Best Wedding Photographer of 2010!

It's true, I wouldn't be where I am without my wonderful clients who most of you have turned into great friends. Thank you all so much for your support. It's what keeps my photography business going.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for your vote to be counted you have to list a total of six vendors. My thought would be to add others you know and like. I will say you should add Magnifique Boutique for Best Bridal Shop. My good friend Jennie is the owner of the shop and she (and her shop) are amazing!

You can VOTE HERE!

Thank you!
