Lori & Greg have an obvious love for each other and their families, so it was fun to capture pictures of people enjoying one another and this special occasion.  Congratulations, Lori & Greg, and thanks for having us do your photos.

Joel especially had a great time with this session because we got to go to the skate park and see Gray’s awesome skills!  Joel has spent a good deal of time there himself.

Thanks, Gray, for having us do your photos, and we hope you’re having an awesome time in college!

What: First Friday Art Walk

Where: Chapter’s Books & Coffee, Newberg, Oregon

When: 5-9pm

Who: in addition to our very own Joel Bock, the Newberg Friends Brass will be playing Christmas music!  Also, there will be a truffle oil tasting (from mushrooms, not chocolate…!).

Sorry about the late notice–we had late notice, too, but are excited to have the opportunity for jebock photography‘s first art show.

Everyone’s watching as she turns him around for that first look:

And then they get a semi-private moment together (that’s what those hats are for!):

But you can see why I say only “semi-private”…

What’s a wedding without some shots of kids enjoying themselves?

Kids also tell you when it’s time to go home after a fun, beautiful day:

First, here are some detail and guest shots before the happy couple arrived.

And last but not least, John gets ahold of Joel’s camera for a photo of the photographer himself, with the bride and groom.

Here is our third of four posts, because we couldn’t whittle it down to any fewer pictures than this!  One more post will follow, showing the festivities of the beautiful reception.  In this post are some of the more fun and creative “formals.”  Enjoy!

The above shot, I am told, is a recreation of one taken on Joy’s parents’ wedding day.
They were married in the same meetinghouse!

And we can’t have a post of this wedding without some fun shots with the Rolls!

Gotta’ love John’s expression in the background… (above)

Hi everyone!  Cherice, here.  I’ll be helping Joel out a bit these days, which hopefully will give him more time to take and edit awesome pictures while I do some of the details like make sure the blog gets updated often.  So now you have two people to bug if you want more photos…

Joel finished editing Della’s Northwest senior picture session, and it was hard to limit the number of pics to put up on the blog!  Della is an amazing person, as well as incredibly photogenic, as you will soon see.  Congratulations, Della!
