This wedding was quite different from my past weddings as the bride specifically requested most B&W photographs and absolutely no posed photography. The ceremony and reception where preformed in the most gorgeous home I've seen in the Portland area. It was on the hillside in Camas, WA overlooking the Columbia River. 

The emphasis of this Par-Tay was on family, food and dancing.... and that's what the bride wished her photos to reflect. I shot this with a more exploratory eye then I typically approach weddings. I believe these wedding photos are reminiscent of some of my travel work... wouldn't you agree? 

Congrats to Tia and William!

Melissa,

The album that we got (a month ago) is amazing...  


Thank you for the amazing job you did putting the album together.  I know that you put a lot of time into touching up each image and planning the layout of the book. The extra pages that you gave us helped add to the story of the book. Each package you sent held something extra and unexpected. Thank you for the note pad and calendar, each month of the coming year we will have a reminder of our special day.


Thank you the most for being so great to work with.  I love the ideas you have and how you capture the world with a joyful eye.  


Hugs,

Colleen

It's new, It's exciting... It's intimate for sure! 

I've been thinking a lot about this concept, elopements that is. I love the idea of celebrating a marriage even though it's an intimate affair. All weddings are different just as all couples are different. I'm assuming most couples are simple yet still wish to remember their wedding day so taking this concept I've created a elopement package for those in Oregon and Washington who dream of celebrating this way. 

If you know of a couple who are eloping make sure they still make time for photography. Not only will they want to remember their day, but family and friends will want to see it too!

Have no enough money to buy some real estate? Don't worry, just because that's achievable to take the home loans to work out such kind of problems. Thence take a commercial loan to buy everything you want.
