I have so appreciated this family, they've had my back in so many ways, referring my business out as I've expanded into a new city, connecting me with their friends, building mountain bikes for me, really what more does a person (or a Bryan), need? The answer is nothing, these guys are awesome and supportive, and I'm so grateful to have met them in Boise.

We met up in the Boise foothills for their family photos, around the Hulls Gulch Reserve area and spent an hour on a beautiful evening wandering around the trails. The desert light and terrain were amazing and I was so inspired by it.

This shoot also reminded me how meaningful it easy to me to photograph families. Kids change so fast, and life passes unnervingly quickly. Especially as a dad, taking these pictures of families that show relationships and personalities, is something that means a great deal to me and hopefully to my clients as well.

Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Wedding | Halley + Laura

October 25, 2017

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.
