Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Wedding | Halley + Laura

If you know western Oregon, you know McMenamins.  They have crazy locations, and by crazy, I mean crazy awesome.  Giant estates with tons of out buildings turned into cigar bars, and whisky lounges, and etc.... etc... etc....

The Cornelius Pass Roadhouse is an awesome location for a wedding (or for hanging out with your homies, as a matter of fact, it's where my son Wellington took his first steps) it has a huge, old, wooden, octagonal shaped barn, which is exactly what it sounds like and it's rad.  When I showed up for Halley and Laura's wedding a fire was lit in the wood stove, it was raining outside in typical PNW style, and the barn was super cozy, like a log cabin in the woods, it was perfect. 

There's really not a way I can describe the connection and joy that Halley and Laura share.  Their wedding day was chalked full of emotion, it was so gorgeous and real, I loved it, and constantly found myself with the tingly feeling, spinning around clicking the shutter on faces full of a wide range of emotion.

Yale Union Wedding | Kristana + Xan

Yale Union is such a gorgeous place for a wedding.  It's an old laundromat in Portland that's over 100 years old, it's full of quirks and charm and is gorgeous.  I love the hardwood floors, the white walls, and the way natural light fills the space from almost all directions.

I had a blast with Kristana and Xan, they don't take themselves too seriously, and their wedding was a super fun day, full of laughter and love, it was a really fun day for me.

Powell Butte Family Photos

I met up with Ryan and Liz and their two sweet twin girls at Powell Butte, a gorgeous location for family photos, on a beautiful fall morning in Portland.  I photographed Ryan and Liz's wedding in 2014 and I was so excited that they got in touch about doing family photos.  It's always meaningful and fun to document peoples lives, and being a parent myself taking family photos for others means a great deal to me.

Ryan and Liz, thanks so much for spending the morning with me and taking the time to do a family photoshoot with me, you guys have such a beautiful and sweet family.
