Kelsey + Matt's wedding reception

You might recognize Kelsey and Matt from blog posts earlier this year. We shot their wedding on July 4th. They held an additional reception in September and here are some of the photos from that evening at David Hill Winery.

Amy's maternity shoot

Amy and I go back, way back, like we met at age 11 way back when. Amy has been my best friend since I can remember. We have gone through a lot in life, watching each other change and grow. We have been living in different states since graduating high school so we don't get to see enough of each other. Amy is now 8 months pregnant with her first baby! I made a quick trip out to Montana to see her last weekend. While I was there I took some portraits. She looks amazing! I can't wait to meet the little one in just a couple months.

Introducing Oliver Zogas

You may remember the Maternity photos we did for Lindsay and John a couple months back. Their little one finally arrived and I got to meet little Oliver today! He is too cute. They stopped by my office and I snapped a couple shots. I loved using the vintage red suitcase. It was perfect with his Christmas outfit on.

Kerr Family

I have had the pleasure of knowing Brian and Courtney since my college days back at Oregon State. I knew them before they were even engaged! I photographed their engagement, wedding and just this past week, I met their son Braeden and photographed their new family. I loved their matching shoes! So perfect. It'll be exciting to watch this little guy grow up.

Dan + Allie's wedding

Dan and Allie were married at the Oregon Garden just outside of Salem. It is such a fantastic venue! There is not one bad angle to photograph from. The weekend of their wedding was a little too rainy, so they had to move the ceremony indoors. Fortunately it was sunny and gorgeous outside before the ceremony when we took photos. Then as soon as the ceremony began, it started to pour outside! Not the normal drizzle, but a full downpour! Thank goodness for back up plans! The creative Sue Hamilton of She Designs designed, set up and coordinated the day. She makes the most beautiful weddings happen. I loved every detail. The day was fun and full of colorful moments! I'm so happy we got to be apart of Dan and Allie's big day!

Heather + Al's wedding

Heather and Al were married at The Grotto. It is one of my favorite churches to photograph in. The property outside of the cathedral is even better. If you haven't been, I suggest taking an afternoon and walking around the gorgeous grounds. There are tall trees, manicured lawns and beautiful flowers everywhere. You can't go wrong with photos there! After the ceremony, everyone headed over to the reception at Edgefield McMenamins to party late into the night. We LOVED working with Heather and Al, they are such down to earth, easy going and sweet people. They are also really creative with things like the chalkboards that were passed around for guests to leave notes. I like this idea so much that I might buy some of my own clackboards for next year's weddings.
