I know anyone visiting lately, must be thinking the above question and so here is a group of slideshows of some recent weddings to check out

Mike and Salma at Palos Verdes Estates California

Tom and Jessica at Oregon Gardens

Erin and Ken at Leach Botanical Gardens and Aquariva

Check out some of these images in this SLIDESHOW from a wedding at Multnomah Falls.

This is one of my favorite images from Alison Clark and Steve Norman’s wedding. The wedding was at Trinity Episcopal Church and the reception was at the University Club. The wedding was a beautiful production with the help of Soiree Event Planning. Check out a slideshow from this event by clicking HERE.

Look HERE to see the slideshow from Lindsey and Mike’s wedding. The ceremony and reception were at The Embassy Suites downtown and the event looked great thanks to flowers from An Affair to Remember and the planning and design work of Soiree.

Here are some of my favorite images of Courtney and Ryan from their wedding and reception at the Troutdale House. Check out a slideshow from this event HERE.

I just placed 8th overall in the Spring 2009 ISPWP contest which is pretty exciting. I thought I would share some of the images that placed, in fact two of them placed 1st in their category, which was very cool.
ISPWP is a great association with a lot of integrity and if you are looking for a great photographer anywhere-check out the site.

Please check out this article on the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers site about 3 mistakes to avoid when hiring a wedding photographer.

I recently became a member of a collaborative blog with some of Portland Oregon’s finest wedding photographers. Our goal was to offer a resource to discerning brides and grooms so they could go to one site and discover a variety of photographers with different styles, but a common level of professionalism, quality, customer service and determination in advancing their craft of photography. Each member is approved by the group and is recognized as a professional whose reputation and integrity is outstanding and whose work the group can recommend with great confidence. www.myportlandphotographer.com

Well I am a little late in posting this news, but ISPWP-International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers have international print competitions and for the winter of 2008 I placed 3rd overall which was quite exciting. The below images all placed in various categories with a couple of images placing first in their group. Please if you get a chance check out the site as they are a fantastic organization dedicated to offering only the best of the best. All photographers listed with ISPWP must must operate under a code of conduct which you can see here.

Check out some of my favorite images in this slideshow of Samantha Rea and Dennis Perala’s wedding. Both the wedding and reception took place at The Treasury Ballroom with wonderful catering by Vibrant Table and the exquisite planning and design of Soiree. I also had the pleasure of sharing the company of one of my friends and a great videographer, Greg James of Solstice Video.
