Melissa and Charlie, October 11th 2014
Melissa and Charlie’s wedding day was incredible.There were so many personal touches, smiling faces, and an immeasurable amount of pretty that it would be impossible to put their wedding day into words. It’s a day that is best relived through imagery and memories. From the gift that Melissa gave Charlie (a journal that she’d been keeping each […]
Sami and Molly, September 13th 2014
Lincoln and I first met Samantha and Molly back in the summer of 2012 when they were searching for a wedding photographer for their 2013 wedding. After hearing a bit about what they had planned for their big day and how much they loved photography, Lincoln and I were thrilled when Sami and Molly chose […]
Blair and Kevin, August 31st 2014
Moments are my absolute FAVORITE thing to photograph. I love capturing unscripted snippets of life that are unique to a certain time and place. In fact, I think that moments are what make someone’s wedding day truly special. Blair and Kevin’s wedding was filled with so many unrehearsed smiles, tears, and moments of joy throughout […]
Emily and Chad, August 22nd 2014
To know Emily and Chad is to love them. Individually, they are fun, warm, loving, and vibrant people. Together, they are simply magnetic and you can’t help but feel like all is right in the world because these two people found one another. Their entire day was pure happiness and one got the impression that […]
Rebecca and John, July 12th 2014
Mt. Hood Organic Farms is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful places in all of Oregon. In fact, I think it’s one of the most lovely places that I’ve seen in all of my travels. It is the perfect backdrop to a joyous wedding celebration, especially a celebration of love that spans the globe. Rebecca is an Oregonian and John is Australian. They […]
Hayley and Pete, March 29th 2014
If there was ever a wedding where you felt like you were part of one big family, Hayley and Pete’s wedding was it. Their beautiful, spring celebration was a perfect balance of elegance and sophistication with a focus on family, friends, and lots of fun. The ceremony was held at the First Congregational Church of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Lauren and Michael, August 11th 2012
Looking back through Lauren and Michael’s wedding photos makes me happy. Simply stated, Lauren and Michael are two peas in a pod. When I first met them, I was struck by how they made each other laugh throughout our entire meeting. I knew that their wedding day was going to be a lot of fun […]
Maria and Brian, August 4th 2012
Every time we have the opportunity to photograph a wedding at Youngberg Hill Inn & Vineyards I’m reminded of how beautiful Oregon’s wine country is. I can certainly see why Maria and Brian chose this venue to start their future as husband and wife. Maria and Brian live in sunny San Diego, California but chose […]
Tricia and Kris, August 3rd 2012
Our summer of sun-kissed weddings continues with Tricia and Kris’ lovely nuptials at Elk Cove Vineyard. Lincoln and I adore this couple and we had a great time photographing their wonderfully warm and personal celebration. Although we felt that we had a chance to get to know Tricia and Kris during their engagement session this […]
Amanda and Jeff, July 29th 2012
If you follow my blog, you may remember the beautiful couple below from their engagement photo session that Lincoln photographed this spring in South Korea. It’s not everyday that we are asked to make such a big trip to photograph an engagement session, but it’s not everyday that you meet a couple like Amanda and […]
