darryl & laura: oregon wedding

Joel — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 07:27:26 +0000

It was just another Thanksgiving weekend…or was it? Well, when you have good friends getting married you know it’s going to be a good time, and with Darryl and Laura the day’s weather and enjoyment was stellar. Set in Newberg, we had fun around town and on the campus of George Fox University. Both of these people are amazing and creative in their fields, you can check out Darryl’s HERE and Laura’s HERE. I couldn’t really whittle down any more than this because there was too much creative juice being captured in the details and the expressions—so here you go!

I had to share one of the photos I’ve been working on today. When I came across this image I was reminded of how much fun this wedding was, and the location didn’t hurt either! More to come soon!

sarah & alfredo: oregon wedding

Joel — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 02:08:41 +0000

Following their stellar engagement session, I was stoked for the upcoming wedding. We began down by the water in Portland at the Avalon Hotel (which was amazing!), and then hit the Abernethy Center for the rest of the day. With help from the brilliant Amanda Clark of Champagne NW the day went amazingly smoothly, and the details were spot on (thanks Amanda!). We couldn’t have ordered better weather, especially on Labor Day Weekend in Portland! And as expected, the wedding was amazing, complete with laughter and smiles. Sarah & Alfredo, we are so honored to have been your photographers. Thanks so much.

janell & sean: oregon wedding

Joel — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 01:22:57 +0000

This wedding took place on a private residence in the country, and it was a perfect day for an outdoor wedding. It turned out Sean & Janell (who already had some of their Photo Riot photos up HERE) knew some of my friends from around Portland, so we had a fun day of not only shooting photos but saying hi to people I hadn’t seen in a while. Below are some of our favorites of the day, as well as more from the Photo Riot booth. If you were at their wedding and would like to see more of their photos please go HERE. Congrats Sean & Janell, and thanks so much for having us out for your wedding!

lori & greg: oregon wedding photographer

Cherice — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:56:23 +0000

We had a great time shooting Lori & Greg’s wedding photos a while back. You might remember them from their engagement shoot. The wedding was on a gorgeous summer day–the kind we’re wishing for about now!

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.

a league of their own: wedding parties with style

Joel — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 06:08:03 +0000

That’s right, this was strictly A League of Their Own! Grace and Jared decided it would be fun to have a softball game 2 days before their wedding, and they went all out. I have to say that the uniforms were stellar, and I can’t even begin to count the number of times people passing by the game would ask me who these people were, and I’d just say “it’s a wedding party!” And the game was fun to watch, too. Grace used to play pro ball, and so did a couple other of the gals on the team, so there weren’t too many dull moments! Not to mention when someone nailed the Porsche who had decided to park in a random parking spot right behind a baseball diamond. Really smart parking job. So, here are some photos to show you the players and the action, enjoy!

sam & alyssa: oregon wedding

Joel — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:42:34 +0000

Sam & Alyssa’s wedding was a blast to shoot for several reasons. One, we had a stellar engagement session (see it HERE), two, they are friends, and three, I used to babysit Sam! That’s right, I’m old even if I don’t always look it. The wedding was held at the Abernethy Center’s Abigail Gardens, and we had beautiful weather. Here are several of our favorites from the day, including the single guy jumping off a chair for the garter! Sam & Alyssa, thanks so much for letting us photograph your wedding!
