My last opportunity in the Pacific Northwest for a little while
A few months before I had made the commitment to move out of the Pacific Northwest for the next little while as I begin to start to pursue graduate school. This wedding was booked earlier in the year thanks to a very dear friend within the wedding industry. I'm very excited to share some of these photos with you guys, I would argue that this is a combination of the lessons I have learned in the area on how to shoot couples in the Pacific Northwest. I got to explore intimate moments, work with plenty of fun people, and use all of their natural environments near me. This meant hiding in The Vineyards, playing in the blueberry bushes, and going into the water itself. A little campfire to end the day, and a lot of drinks the run the party. This was a fantastic day with fantastic people.
I had a chance to get to know the couple a little bit before the wedding, and was excited to see how well everything came together on the big day. They been through so much life, enjoy their dogs and have them at the wedding, got to love their friends and the many days on this beach, and ended up back where it all started to get married right next to where it all began. I was so incredibly happy to not only take care of such an important day, but do it in such an incredibly important space.
I've been working on my transition from Pacific Northwest back to Tennessee for a little while now. It's an ongoing process oh, I'm giving myself a little bit of Grace because it was a move of 7 years worth of development into a place of old experiences. Thank you for being patient with me as I get everything where it needs to be.

Thanks from me to your family
On occasion, I find myself fortunate enough to have the opportunity to photograph a wedding in my hometown. As I recently relocated from the West Coast to the East Coast, being able to work in a familiar place felt comforting and exciting. My move was motivated by a desire to be closer to my family and alleviate some of the financial pressures that come with living in a larger city, but no matter where I am, wedding photography remains the true passion. Despite the changes that come with relocation, it was wonderful to be able to continue doing what I love in a familiar setting.
I am grateful to have been able to capture special moments for the bride and groom, and to have played a role in helping to create memories for their family and friends who had traveled from as far as california to be present on their special day. It is always an honor to be entrusted with capturing such an important event, and it is a responsibility that I take very seriously. I look forward to sharing more photos from this wedding and showcasing the love and joy that was evident throughout the day.
Just because I'm back on the East Coast doesn't mean that I'm still not actively traveling for photography. Truthfully not much has changed, maybe my sleeping hours are a little bit different but other than that my ambition is still to bring you high quality photography for as long as I am here. If you were interested and having me as your wedding photographer please head over to the booking / contacts page.
48 hours wedding and engagement shoot

Lets just go for it
Sometimes wedding projects can take two to three years from start to completion. When a couple contacts me, we start planning the engagement shoot, and then move on to the actual shoot dates, editing, delivery, and follow-up. It's a very long process, and some days can be quite intense. This was one of those projects that went against the normal pattern, an engagement shoot and wedding day that wrapped up within 48 hours. The couple themselves were pretty well set together with their home, their dog, and their careers. They lived in a very nice part of Portland with equally beautiful views. I'm very lucky to live in downtown Portland, which is like an island in the middle of the city. And like they say, you can't see the Eiffel Tower when you're on top of it, so this little island of Portland has the best view of the great City.
Eden Tetsuya's wedding will be featured in the Gallery page. Here's a short snippet of their engagement photos. I hope you enjoy this little look into the tiny oasis that is South Portland, North Lake Oswego.
