Barbados Trash the Dress!

08.12.09

The day-after shoot for Crystal and Patrick was nothing short of astonishing. The weather was perfect and Crystal and Patrick were up for adventure! We first traveled to an abandoned church with incredible arch windows and cool graffiti, then we climbed onto the cliffs at Crane Beach for some spectacular Caribbean waves. Although we all got a little wet, it was worth it for these pics! I'm experimenting here with some new post-processing and I think it really adds to this style and the tropical colors in this set. Enjoy and please let me know your thoughts!

I LOVE the abandoned church.... such a cool element.. I must ask, does "Trash the Dress" imply that she did just that & tossed it in? That's what I was imagining.. And I love the idea! : )

Real Wedding: Crystal & Patrick 7-13-09

08.11.09

Crystal and Patrick's awe-inspiring wedding took place on the stunning and world renowned beaches of Barbados! Travis and I were blessed to be flown to Barbados, which is located in the West Indies, to document their incredible day. The ceremony took place on Bottoms Bay Beach which is a small, quiet area of Barbados. The local family pictured was hanging out near the party, and I love how happy they are as they watched the couple say their I Do's! The amazing dinner reception took place at The Crane Resort, located on the Crane Beach, which was named one of the top ten beaches in the world by Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous. Yes- the Caribbean Sea is really that color! A destination wedding was the perfect way for Crystal and Patrick to have an intimate, adventurous wedding with their closest family and friends. They traveled to Rome for their honeymoon, as the bride and groom love to travel. Hope you had a fabulous time on your honeymoon and you both love the sneak peek. Thanks so much Crystal and Patrick for the unforgettable experience! Your comments are always welcome!

I agree with Crystal, these pictures are beautiful and made all the easier by having two gorgeous people to shoot. I think Crystal & Patrick made a wonderful choice when they chose you as their photographer. We truly enjoyed your work ethic and your friendly demeanor that both you and Travis displayed the whole vacation/wedding.

Baby Jackson!

08.09.09

Chan and Dale are a beautiful couple, who's fantastic wedding I had the honor of photographing last September at the Oregon Golf Club. I was so happy to hear that they were expecting a baby boy! Baby Jackson was born on July 15th and is the cutest thing ever! He's pictured here at only 8 days old. While we were photographing he was wide awake and facinated with his surroundings, especially the camera! We finally got him to snooze while some quiet portraits were taken. Dale and Chan own a stunning home in the Hills and we were lucky enough to get some great outdoor photos of the amazing Oak tree outside their home that baby Jackson will someday have a tree house in! Thanks so much for introducing me to Jackson and I'm so excited to see him and your family grow! Enjoy the sneak peek and please leave a comment if you can!

Engaged: Tora & David!

08.04.09

Tora and David and I met recently in Foothills Park in Lake Oswego. This park is stunning and filled with cool features on the waterfront which made for a great backdrop for their fun pics! Little did we know, however that the "concerts in the park" was going on, so we had to dodge the 100's of people and the bad cover music. :) Made for a great laugh though! My sister, Lauren, has also been assisting me on photoshoots and got some great photos as well! Thanks to Tora and David for the inspring location and shoot! Hope you both love the sneak peek. Your comments are appreciated and encouraged!
