Lets just go for it
Sometimes wedding projects can take two to three years from start to complete. When a couple contacts me, when we get into the engagement shoot, we start planning what the next move is, then the actual shoot dates, editing, delivery, follow up. It's a very long process some days. And then the days of action or even longer. This was one of those projects, a wedding project that all wrapped up within 48 Hours. The couple themselves we're pretty well set together as a couple, they had their home, they had their dog, they had their careers. Is a very nice part of Portland was equally beautiful views. I'm very lucky to live in downtown Portland, this is a little area that you can imagine is an island of downtown. 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 is a short little Snippets of their engagement photos. I hope you guys enjoy a little look into the tiny Oasis that is south Portland, North Lake Oswego.
Low light and flashes

I want to show you guys a few different uses of flahses for a recent wedding
I wanted to take a few examples from a recent wedding that I shot in 2021 to show you guys a few different ways that I use flashes in lowlight to help me take some extra fun photos.
This couple reached out to me earlier in the year so our first meeting was on a rainy day in a cafe in the little town of camas. Their engagement shoot was on top of a mountain 3 hours from there. And the wedding was another hour away from the mountain. So being 3-4 hours of driving away from home I definitely needed to make sure that I was ready for any lighting scenario.
I normally have two lights that I use during a wedding but you have to take the environment into consideration when this is on the table. One problem that I ran into recently was the issue of my seven-foot umbrella being blown over by the wind. My gear is pretty tough but that is not something that you want heading to the ground with kids and even adults running around.
And not a set of photos is complete without the classic light behind the couple shot. This is a technique that I used very early in my photo career and I am happy to say that it was been improved since then to bring in a little bit more of the environment.
I hope you guys enjoy the rest of the photos in this example. I delivered a few hundred with the use of flash at this wedding but there were the ones where there was an attempt to make the flash obvious. There is a lot in motion for 2022 but I hope t see you guys there!

Cake on the Mountain

An Idea sprung into a shoot
A few years ago I got the opportunity to work with both Aubrey and Michelle to produce some photos that highlight the desirability of her cakes. Michelle spent a majority of her initial time in the wedding industry as a dessert table and confectionary baker. But when it was time to move into wedding cakes, we got to talking about a photoshoot. The concept was relatively straightforward, we really wanted to let the cakes and environment work together for an aesthetic illustration of products. I hope you guys enjoy this small journal as they are a step in a new direction for the website. I have over 300,000 images in my catalogue and I plan to have more of them seen over the next few years! Here is to a very exciting 2022.
