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

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.

Wow! I was at The Viewpoint Inn for the big snow storm and as you can see there was frost on the inside windows and snow coming inside through any available crack or crevice. I wasn’t sure if I was going home that night or looking for lodging, but I made it. The first photo is inside the Inn and I was able to carve their wedding date out in the ice that had accumulated. Please enjoy these photos of Courtney Bowman and Scott Tomlinson’s wedding.
