Meghan and Andrew had a lovely summer wedding at the Grotto and Columbia Edgewater Country Club! I love their color palate of teal and white! Their song is by Lenka and it's really fun, so make sure the volume is up to swing to the beat! To see full screen please click here.

I set up my Mom's Dept. 56 Christmas Village every year and i always have fun doing it.. I added the lights under the snow this year to switch things up a bit... yes, cheesy, but it was passed down to my mom from her grandma, so it means a lot to our family. (Arn't the little elves cute as can be!?)

My Grandpa and I trying on the antler hat.. yup, it lights up!

Kristen and Jered's wedding in Camp Sherman, Oregon was intimate and fun and filled with nature, great music and incredible memories. Kristen and Jered are a kind and down to earth couple that I was honored to photograph. Check out their great song by Feist by making sure your volume is turned on!
