Part one of many posts from this beautiful private wedding last month in Oregon!

This first boat shot was not a drone, nor was I standing on a balcony or something up high. I was on the boat, we were in the middle of the water. But I had this vision. I put my camera on a 10ft light stand with a remote trigger, extended it all the way, flipped out the tiny screen on the camera so I could *kind of* see the composition of my photo, and then braced the light stand. The boat sway back and forth as I snapped a plethora of photos and asked the boat driver to rotate the boat as I took photos to get a variety of differently lit sunset shots. I lowered the camera down as much as possible to get a “top down” photo, the light stand bending and bracing. After taking a series of photos that I hoped were good, this last photo was framed perfectly just like this, with the best light. I very minorly adjusted the crop but it was so straight already. It was PERFECT! I am really proud of the photos I take, but this one stood out to me a lot. It felt so satisfying to visualize, prep my equipment, work through the process of the vision, then see the back of the screen with the photo. Taken on the Canon 15-35mm at 15mm

The rest of the photos are some of my other favorite frames from the day. First dance, sunset, the backyard tree at cocktail hour, and a few other photos on the boat. It was a really magical day, everything felt perfect despite the 100+ degree heat. But you couldn’t tell that from the photos 😉

Congrats to Brittney and Brian on their wedding day!!!

One of my favorite shots to do! Love how this shot of the bridal party turned out. It takes time to do so it’s not always possible at every wedding, but it’s so awesome when it turns out! Shoutout to for the awesome setting at their venue 👌

Included are some other fun moments and details from the night! Enjoy!

A few fun and elegant portraits and details from Carmen and Clay’s wedding at last month! An absolute joy and pleasure to shoot for you and your families! The energy at the Ruins is always so amazing!

On a side note I wanted to talk about the first photo. I love it because it was entirely created by me.

The notion for photographers today is that “everyone is a photographer” making it feel like it isn’t hard or very artistic anymore. Nothing in the first photo is an accident though. I chose the angle, I posed them exactly how I wanted, prompted them, and used my own lighting to create this photo. It was entirely created by me within 5min. As a wedding photographer this is what happens after hours of practice and years of experience. I can walk into a scene and create something beautiful, anywhere, quickly and efficiently.

I get the question a lot too: “do you need to see the venue before the wedding day?” And while I’d love to, it’s not always possible. And I need to be quick on my feet during a wedding day for whatever is happening. If I take a 15min tour of the venue in the morning and see what’s available, I can create beautiful images quickly. I’ve studied, practiced, and implemented these photo techniques so many times that I can create (not “take” but “create”) images quickly and efficiently. Paying attention to detail and making sure you love the photos. This is the skillset you’ve hired me for and I’m happy to do my absolute best for everyone who hires me, which is super exciting because you never know what we’re going to create together!

Anyways, hope you enjoy these quick previews! More to come soon!

Some of my favorite photos from Sam and Rachael’s wedding at earlier this month! The first photo is one of my favorite techniques to do, which involves putting a camera on a lightstand with a remote trigger and getting an awesome photo of the bride coming down the aisle.

One of my other favorite techniques is being at the right place at the right time for all the crying photos 😂

Enjoy all these joyful photos and shoutout to the vendor dream team who killed it at this wedding!! Everyone added so much to the day and it was awesome to be a part of 🙂

Introducing “Me and Mrs Jones”!! A crazy day full of smiles despite rain all morning and most of the day, including the ceremony! Entrance on horse carriage and exit in the rain!

Lots of misty dampness made the mood but everyone showed out for these two and everyone celebrated as if it were full sunshine! Nothing was going to stop this day 🙂

Enjoy these photos full of energy and love!

From this beautiful wedding at last fall, I can’t get over the portraits with the larch trees. Yellow is such a beautiful and complimentary color to the joy of a wedding day.

Would you take portraits with these trees or would you prefer a different color?

Congrats to Melissa and Kenny!!!! An epic wedding day full of smiles and laughs and authentic people. It was a joy to be at your wedding and see all the celebration around you two 🙂 just two days after their wedding they moved across the country so it felt a little bit like a going away party too. It was very special. Melissa also attended both my bridal bootcamps so we got to know each other very well! Thank you for having me shoot your wedding and much luck and blessings to you both going forward in your marriage! I know it’ll be wonderful!

(The photo where Kenny has his head in his hand is because Melissa got an AI adventure book about him in space with dinosaurs 😂😂 best surprise wedding gift ever!)
