I belong to a Flickr group that specializes in using creative lighting techniques for portraits. We meet every now and then at interesting locations and photograph local models. We had two shoots recently, one at Skateworld in Hillsboro…a very cool old school skating rink. The other was at a hair salon in NW Portland where we photographed some of the hair stylists. Here are some of my favorite ‘experiments’.
First…Skateworld
These are from the salon.
One of the stylists was 7 months pregnant and was kind enough to pose for me.

A few weeks ago I photographed the wedding of Jennifer & David in Astoria, Oregon. It was a beautiful ceremony held at Grace Episcopal Church in downtown Astoria followed by a gorgeous reception at David’s family’s house on the beach just outside of Astoria. In between the ceremony and reception Jen, David and I slipped away for a photo session on the beach. It was a truly memorable wedding. Here are some photos from the day.

Last Wednesday(Sept. 5th) I met Angela & Ben in downtown Portland for their engagement session. Both of them live downtown so we thought it would be a great place for some photos. We started in Oldtown and then headed towards the Ace Hotel where there is a very cool oldschool photobooth. Angela & Ben had taken some photos there after they were engaged so it seemed fitting we should use it in the engagement shoot. We found some great golden light all over downtown and worked our way towards the big ‘Portland’ sign at the Schnitzer. I wanted to get the shot since Angela & Ben are moving to Seattle soon…they’ll be Portlanders no longer. Here are some of my favorite shots from the shoot.

On Sunday, August 17th I had a great day shooting the wedding of Krista & Chris at the Beckenridge Vineyard in Dallas, Oregon. The weather was perfect, not too hot. Krista & Chris planned a very fun, creative and unique wedding complete with a bubble machine, pink umbrellas and some very very cute kids. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.

On August 2nd, I assisted the very talented Portland Photographer Rob McNary on the wedding of Laura & Doug which was held at Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood. It was a beautiful day, although a bit chilly up on the mountain. The lodge served as a perfect backdrop to a very family oriented wedding. Here are a few of my favorite shots that I took during the day. There were some really cute kids at the wedding.

Last Tuesday I had a chance to attend the Onelight Workshop…a very well known photography education workshop that focuses on using minimalist lighting to achieve dramatic portraits. It is taught by Zack Arias…a rock star in the photography world (and he photographs rock stars). It was a great class that went from 9am until 1:30am the next day. We were in the SE Industrial district and had two models to work with and a large variety of lighting equipment. Here are some of my favorite shots from the workshop.

On Monday August 11th, I met Brenda & Daryl for their engagement session. They are Vancouverites so we decided to start at Lacamas Lake, a very scenic spot in Camas. We then took a quick jaunt over the river to McMenamin’s Edgefield for some very cool shots around the ‘McCompound’. Brenda & Daryl were great to work with and super nice! I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding at Skamania Lodge in September…here are some photos.

On Saturday July 26th I photographed the incredibly awesome wedding of Kathleen & Bobby. We started with the ceremony at University of Portland Chapel and then moved on to the reception at the Columbia River Yacht Club. Could these two newlyweds be any more photogenic? You decide…here are some highlights from the wedding.

On July 19th I photographed the very beautiful wedding of Jennifer & Jeremy in Salem. The ceremony was held on Jeremy’s parents’ property which was gorgeous…full of flowers, ponds, and mini waterfalls. The perfect setting for a relaxed, intimate wedding. Here are some highlights from the wedding.
