Danielle and Greg, September 21st 2013
Blogging our last wedding of the year is always bittersweet. To end our wedding season a high note with a wedding as beautiful as Danielle and Greg’s, however, makes the bitter part a whole lot sweeter. I’ve said it before, but I do love a classically romantic wedding. Danielle and Greg’s wedding was the picture […]
Sarah and Matthew, August 24th 2013
Why do I love photographing weddings? The moment pictured below is one big reason. Real joy. When I met with Sarah and Matt for a planning meeting in July, I knew that we were on the same page when Sarah told me that one of the most important photos from their wedding day would be […]
Liisa and Nate, August 17th 2013
One of the best features of any wedding is when the day perfectly reflects the couple that it’s honoring. Even though I only met Liisa and Nate once prior to their wedding day, their warm personalities gave me the impression that their nuptials at Hawks View Cellars truly embodied who they are as a couple. […]
Anna and Tom, July 20th 2013
What turns a good wedding into a great wedding? Ice cream. What turns a great wedding into an incredible one? An amazing dance party. What turns an incredible wedding into one that is unforgettable? A fun and loving couple like Anna and Tom. Add a perfect setting like Pomeroy Farm and a lovely Saturday in […]
Shelby and Jason, July 13th 2013
Shelby and Jason’s love story is near to my heart. Truth be told: I have a soft spot for weddings of couples who moved to Portland to start their life together. Maybe that’s because Lincoln and I moved to Oregon over 8 years ago looking to start a new, shared adventure. Like Shelby and Jason, […]
Hillary and Luke, June 29th 2013
“Rain or shine, we’re getting married.” This sentence is what was written on Hillary and Luke’s save-the-dates and it was also the recurrent theme throughout their wedding day. I adore this sentiment because it embraces the enigmatic Portland weather. It also says “No matter what happens, I will love you forever.” True love is when […]
Molly and Tyson, June 15th 2013
Here is one beautiful, breezy wedding day that you don’t want to miss. Everything about this wedding was perfect, right down to the dreamy cotton wood blossoms that were drifting through the atmosphere, showering Molly and Tyson with their very own wedding day confetti. Molly and Tyson met one evening in Arizona, when they were […]
Danielle and Greg’s Morning Engagement Session on Sauvie Island
I’ve made a recent discovery: morning engagement sessions are refreshing and romantic. It’s true! Check out the engagement session below and see for yourself. Add a lovely couple like Danielle and Greg, a beautiful day, and a gorgeous location on Sauvie Island and you have the recipe for a great way to start a sunny […]
Julia and Ryan, May 25th 2013
Julia and Ryan are best friends. During their engagement session earlier this year, it was clear to me that they are perfectly matched. Their mutual adoration and respect for one another was evident after spending just a short amount of time with them. Their beautiful wedding at Zenith Vineyard was lovely in every way; a […]
A Relaxed Engagement Session at Edgefield
What can I say? Anna and Tom are a really fun, laid-back couple who love to laugh and their engagement session was indicative of their personalities. They drove down from Seattle to have their photos taken (and to do some wedding planning) so we decided to kick off their weekend with a morning engagement session […]
Introducing our Associate Photographer, Robert McNary
It is with great excitement and pride that I announce the addition of our associate photographer, Robert McNary. Rob and I have known one another for several years through the wedding and photography industry. I’ve always admired and respected Rob’s work and felt that we had similar sensibilities and style when it came to photographing […]
Julia and Ryan’s Engagement Session in the Pearl
Julia and Ryan’s engagement session was my very first couples’ portrait session of 2013 and the first engagement session I’d done since last July. Needless to say, I was a little nervous going into this session. However, it turns out that taking photographs is like riding a bike: you never forget how to do it. […]
Meet Baby Alex
It’s sessions like this one that remind me of how much I enjoy sharing in the happy moments of my clients. I photographed Libbi and Aaron’s wedding in October 2011. It was a beautiful day, filled with joy, love, and all of the good stuff that make a wedding truly memorable. When I heard that […]
Lauren and David, February 17th 2013
I’d like to give a big, virtual hug to my amazing husband, Lincoln Barbour, and my dear friend, Erin Grace, for teaming up to photograph Lauren and David’s beautiful winter wedding. I first met Lauren while photographing Maria and Brian’s wedding this summer. Lauren was engaged to be married to David, and Lincoln and I […]
Welcome, Odin!
It is with great joy that Lincoln and I announce the arrival of our sweet baby boy, Odin Brooks Barbour. Odin was born on December 15th, 2012 at 8:23 pm and he came into this world weighing an impressive 8 pounds 8 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long. He’s a vibrant and thriving baby and […]
On Maternity Leave!
Starting November 21st, 2012 through March 15th, 2013, I will be on maternity leave. Lincoln and I are expecting the arrival of our first baby any day now and I’m taking the next couple of weeks off to rest and prepare for our new family member. While on maternity leave, I will be answering emails […]
Spotlight 11/20/2012 – Embracing (in) the Rain
I’m feeling a little waterlogged in Portland and thought it would be a good idea to post a photo that celebrates love and rain. Sending all of you warm and cozy thoughts this Thanksgiving holiday!
2012 Fall Print Sale – Final Day!
2012 Fall Print Sale: November 12th-19th As many of you know, Lincoln and I are getting ready to welcome a new family member in early December. However, we still wanted to offer our clients our annual print order discount before Baby Barbour arrives. Starting on Monday, November 12th through Monday, November 19th you can take […]
Lisa and Jimmy, September 29th 2012
It’s here: our final wedding blog post for the year. Lisa and Jimmy’s big day was the very last wedding that we photographed this year and, needless to say, it was a fabulous! The festivities started bright and early with a tea ceremony at Jimmy’s parents home, followed by a delicious lunch with close family […]
Jenny and Joe, September 15th 2012
If ever there was a day that you wish would never end, Jenny and Joe’s wedding day would be it. This day was pure joy. Jenny and Joe are a fun and caring couple whose wedding day not only celebrated their love, but it also celebrated the love that they have for their family and […]
Erika and Dave, September 2nd 2012
Lincoln and I felt pretty special to be a part of Erika and Dave’s intimate nuptials at the Oregon Coast. It’s not every day that we have the opportunity to photograph a wedding where only ten people are in attendance, including the bride and groom. Erika and Dave live and work in Tampa, Florida. Several years […]
Katie and Todd, September 1st 2012
September is my favorite month in Oregon. I think that I mention this in a blog post at least once a year, but it’s because true! The weather and the light is always so beautiful and this September was no exception. Kicking off my favorite month is one of my favorite couples, Katie and Todd. […]
Lindsey and David, August 25th 2012
This next wedding has equal and abundant parts of visual beauty and incredible moments. Nothing that I could write will come close to expressing what it felt like to be at Mt. Hood Organic Farms witnessing and documenting Lindsey and David’s wedding day. It was an extraordinary day for an extraordinary couple. I’ll let the photos […]
