Briana & Ryan E-Session

Well it finally happened. Whew! We had this session scheduled probably 5 different times and had something happen every time. Everything from Briana's ring not making it in time to the weather being horrible got in our way. All the while their wedding was getting closer and closer. Yikes!

Monday was the day and we finally had things work out in our favor. The weather still wasn't ideal, but we made the best of it and got some killer shots! These two were troopers with their squinty eyes looking into a reflection while we waited a few seconds for the next cloud to cover the sun. Nothing was going to stop us this day!

I had a great day with you guys and it was such a relief to get this done it time. I know we were all starting to sweat it a bit. But, everything happens for a reason and we got some killer shots and made the deadline so it all worked out. You guys did great battling the wind, sun, clouds, sun, clouds, wind, sun....thing all day. I bet you were tired, but I think it was worth it. I'm looking forward to your wedding on the 30th!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

Cathleen & Francisco E-Session

I had the pleasure of shooting Cathleen and Francisco last Saturday and we had a blast! We started out on the waterfront in downtown Portland and just strolled along looking for cool spots to shoot. We even went across the Hawthorne bridge and got in trouble by the bridge lady on the way. We tried to shoot in the center of the bridge with the traffic passing by on both sides but were greeted with "Get off the deck of the bridge! Do NOT stand in the bridge pillars! Get off the deck of the bridge now!" We are such rebels!

After we had enough of downtown we went up the the Pittock Mansion to finish the shoot. There are some great views up there and we were able to grab a few scenic shots to end the day.

Cathleen and Francisco you guys were a lot of fun to hang out with and I'm really looking forward to shooting your wedding in June! It's getting close! Woot!
