__________


I spent two hours helping out another photographer to photograph Brittany and Ryan's wedding. I didn't get a chance to really get the to know the couple but I did spend the last few precious moments with the bride as she waited anxiously before walking down the aisle.

__________


You can just feel the love when you're around Jaylin and Wayne. They have such a strong bond and two wonderful kids. Their wedding took place at the Red Building in Astoria. It had an incredible view of the bridge and the Columbia River. I met them over 4 months ago when I shot their engagement shoot and it's been a pleasure getting to know them. Thanks guys for such a great time!

FIDDLEHEAD LANDSCAPES

I did a big photo project for Fiddlehead Landscapes. They are an environmentally friendly company that builds rock walls and patios. But these aren't just any rock structures, they build them with every rock hand picked and put it together very artistically and strategically. They look absolutely beautiful. So I spent two days going around to different sites and photographing their work. They launched a brand new website and used all my photos for it. Take a look! www.fiddleheadlandscapes.com

Carolyn + Josh | Portland, OR

ceremony 163



_______________

Carolyn and Josh had a beautiful, organic, homegrown wedding with lots of family and close friends. Josh, who has the heart of a lion and incredible carpentry skills, built the gazebo that they got married in by hand. It is truly an amazing work of art.
Carolyn works at my favorite restaurant, Serratto, along with their officiant, Kurt, where I am used to seeing him tending bar.
I didn't realize until the day of the wedding that Carolyn was actually pregnant. It made for some really cute photos and she is going to make a fantastic mom.
Kurt did a great job officiating. He puts his heart and soul in everything he does, whether it be pouring a martini or ordaining a wedding.
They had a potluck style dinner and I had the best tamales in my life! (Gracias Alejandro y su familia)

I wish you guys all the best.

There is a slideshow at the bottom of the photos or view here.
