Jessica and Dave are getting married September 13th at Black Butte Ranch near Bend. It should be absolutely beautiful in September and I can't wait to see Jessica and Dave all dressed up and exchanging their vows in front of their closest family and friends. We went to Mt Tabor park for their engagement photos in June and it was actually a bit chilly. I loved the way Jessica and Dave looked at each other during the session. Their faces just lit up whenever they smiled at each other. They are so in love! They also brought along their very obedient and very adorable dog Joey, for a few photos. He was a treat to meet. Congratulations Jessica and Dave, I will see you soon!

I took Liana's maternity photos the day after I attended her baby shower. Thanks for inviting me Liana! I had a great time. I photographed Liana and Ryan's wedding at a church in Beaverton and then their reception at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse over two years ago. There's some photos of them on my wedding website. She's my little barefoot bride in February. My favorite part of the day was after we shot some couple photos away from everyone, they heard the song Footloose come on inside the barn where everyone was dancing. They jumped up on some picnic tables outside and both of them just started dancing like crazy. I loved their complete openess and silliness and I was honored to be a part of their day. Now they are expecting a little girl, in like a week! I can't wait to come back to do newborn photos. I'm so excited for them!

Emily and Zane were married at McMenamin's Edgefield May 25, 2008 on a cool and cloudy day. Something old

The Dress

Emily is ready to see her groom
I asked Zane if he wanted to pick Emily up because her heels were sinking in the wet ground. I had no idea he had recently hurt his back. You can see the pain in his face. Sorry Zane!
We still got a cute photo out of it though!

The bridal party

I love her colors, blue & brown, and I thought the flower girl's dresses and their flower "balls" (I'm sure there is a different term for them) were very pretty
They were going to get married at the field outside of Blackberry Hall, but because of the threat of rain, they were married inside the hall where the reception also took place

Favors



They had a cupcake cake instead of a wedding cake

They also had a brownie cake for the groom's cake, (it's hiding behind the cupcake cake in this photo)
The Ceremony
The Bride's brother gave the most emotional reading I have ever heard at a ceremony. He was crying, the bride was crying, ....I almost cried

The Kiss!
