Portland Erotic Ball

Here is a link to photos from the Portland Erotic Ball which took place at McMenamin’s Crystal Ballroom.  This is just a small slice of what was happening at this event.  This is the 7th annual Portland Erotic Ball which was created by Pepe and The Bottle Blondes back in October of 1995.

These are some of my favorite images from Chris and Amy’s wedding which took place at St. Mary’s Cathedral and The Governor Hotel. This was a very nice wedding with a lot of great vendors. The event was coordinated by Soiree, the flowers were by An Affair to Remember, the cake was done by Dream Cakes, the music was performed by The Swingline Cubs and the videographer was Hybrid Moon Video.

Well I got a pretty nasty cold there for a while so there hasn’t been much new posted recently, but I am trying to get back on track. Here are some highlights from Mary and John’s wedding which was at The Grotto and The Treasury Ballroom.  I also got to work with a couple of my favorite vendors who always do a great job.  One was Greg James of Solstice Video and the other was the team of caterers from Vibrant Table, which is the catering and event side of Salvador Molly’s.

Here are some highlights from some clients of mine Samer and Miyoko. They had a little intimate wedding on a Thursday out at  Garden Vineyards, which is a beautiful outdoor venue.

Dragonfly

I am experimenting with some different photographic elements that will hopefully see the light of day in some sort of fine art production. I have always had and interest in blending my study of oil painting and some of the symbolic subject matter that I worked with into a photographic study. This image represents a recent direction I have tried to take that seems to be getting closer to what I have been attempting to capture.

High School Senior Photography

Here are some highlights from a portrait shoot for Zach. Hopefully the high school seniors that get a chance to look at some of these photos can see, I am all about trying to shoot images that are both unique and personal. I have been photographing more and more seniors in the Portland Oregon area and Southwest Washington areas and it is a lot of fun. I have a studio in SE Portland in the Sellwood neighborhood, but more often than not I am traveling to a location within or around the city to shoot my senior portraits.
