Love on the Salem waterfront {Salem Oregon Wedding Photographer}

Just as I promised I have a full peek of Christi & Brett’s super fun engagement session. We had a blast tromping around downtown Salem, fingers crossed the rain would give us time for a full session. These two were so adorable, and so very in love. It was a pleasure pointing  my lens at them. 🙂

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

ooh look sparkly!

While cleaning up the wedding website recently I came across some of my all time favorite ring shots.

I don’t know why but I just LOVE shooting the rings, they are so sentimental, so symbolic, so…. sparkly!

So I thought I would show off some of my favorite ring shots of 2008!

Not a complete list by any means, just a few that stuck out.

Wine and fun with Krista & David {Oregon Wedding Photography}

This past weekend I spent time with a fantastic couple, Krista & David. These two live in the great state of Alaska but are heading down here for their April wedding. We had spoken over the phone a few times but I was really excited to meet these two prior to their wedding. Let me tell you they made it worth my wait. I had a fantastic time, Krista and David are a riot. I was cracking up the whole time. I can already tell their wedding in a few months is going to be a fun one.

Here are few of my favorites so far from our session:

Krista & David are wine fans so we shot at the fantastic Rex Hill Vineyard. Such a great location.

We even snuck into the main building for a moment. Again if you are ever in Yamhill County wine tasting Rex Hill is a must stop. Especially on a romantic Valentine’s weekend.

Krista & David it was a pleasure meeting the two of you. I am very much looking forward to your big day in April. I will have the rest of the set for you very soon. Enjoy!

Mark + Steph = Simply Adorable. Oregon Wedding Photographer

This last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Mark and Stephanie to do some engagement photos. We met at the east side Portland waterfront. They are so cute and bubbly, I wanted to contrast that with some fun urban settings. As you can see these two are so in love, and fun together. I had a great time, and I can not wait to shoot their wedding!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Newberg Family & Wedding Photography {Laura & Michael Sneak Peek}

Not too long ago I was contacted by a local couple about shooting their Christmas time wedding. I don’t usually book anything around the holidays but I agreed to meet with them since they were literally right down the road. I am so glad I did. Laura & Micheal are so sweet, and their whole family is adorable. It also helped that when I walked into their home it was covered with beautiful family photos. When people are big photography fans to begin with, you know it is going to be fun working with them!

This last weekend we meet up for a joint engagement & family session. I had a blast meeting all the kids and seeing them together. Even the grumpiest teen was smiling by the end of the morning. 🙂

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

The whole family, I can not wait for the wedding it is going to be fun.

( I am pretty sure I can hear the kids saying “Ewww Gross” right about now, but how cute are they!)

Speaking of sweet, how sweet are these two. These soon to be step brothers made me smile.

Ok there is a funny story behind this one. Laura brought this cute hat for the baby of the family to wear. Typical little guy style he was not into the hat at all. But one of the older kids jokingly put it on, and we ended up getting every single family member in it except the one it was intended for. 😉 I know I am easily amused but this cracks me up.

And here is the little guy. This special little boy really stole my heart.

Our soon to be bride & groom again.

Laura & Michael, I am really looking forward to your big day. Your whole family was an absolute joy to hang out with. Thanks for bearing the cold morning with me. I will have more from our morning session for you very soon!
