Amanda & Austin’s Pleasant Hill, Oregon Wedding

April 1, 2012

The very first time I ever photographed Austin & Amanda they were performing alongside the Phoinix Players in the Annual Junction City Christmas Parade in December of 2010. They passed on by dancing with red santa hats along with the rest of the troupe and a small parade float. I enjoyed the charisma of group and when I found out that they would be performing at a Junction City business luncheon we went along. It took us a few months before we actually went to the Star Theatre to see a performance of ”The Sunshine Honky Tonk”. After the performance we were hooked! I recall thinking to myself that these two could get married someday and when they do we will be photographing their wedding. Well that came true yesterday! Austin Lawrence and Amanda Bauer married at the Pleasant Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church at 6:30pm Saturday. A reception at the church followed along with another reception at the Valley River Inn! We wanted to share a sneak peek of yesterday’s fabulous wedding & celebration!!!

Your talent is breathtaking! Thank you so much for everything you have done for our family! I am excited to see more pictures!

From stage to alter, these two are as Austin Roos so eloquently put during a prayer…”are a living example of what a loving couple should look like.” You have managed to capture that all from many angles, for many months, through laughter, stories and the most beautiful tears of joy ever seen and photographed.

My family loved this wedding and the pictures do a fabulous job capturing the joy!

Krystle & Nick’s Engagement Session Portland, Oregon Waterfront Park

March 27, 2012

On the last day of our whirl wind Portland trip we photographed Krystle & Nick’s engagement session. They are getting married at Sweet Cheeks Winery on September 2nd and we are so excited! They live in Seattle and are getting married in Eugene so we thought Portland would be a great place to meet in the middle. Krystle & Nick used to live in Portland and they took us to some of their favorite spots around town. We started the day at Waterfront Park in the Japanese Memorial area under the blooming Cherry trees. Krystle and I both have a soft spot for cherry trees, and have always missed photographing them when they are in bloom. Somehow we lucked out this time and timed the shoot perfectly. The blossoms were amazing!

Krystle & Nick’s Bulldogs even got in on the shoot. Kahi & Zoe were such great models!Aren’t they adorable?

Meghan & Jon’s McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse & Imbrie Hall Wedding

March 27, 2012

Meghan & Jon got married in a cute little white church in Warren, Oregon. The very same little white church that Jon’s grandparents got married in back in 1954. Thats almost 58 years ago!

We started off the day at Bethany Lutheran Church in Warren, OR then moved to the reception which was held at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse & Imbrie Hall in Hillsboro, OR just outside of Portland. They rented the Octagonal Barn for the festivities which was the perfect setting for Meghan & Jon.

Meghan went through a ton of work to make it so beautiful. She made the centerpieces for each table out of wine bottles that she cut the tops off, put candles in them, then etched each and every one of them by hand. She also made delicious sugar cookies for each place setting. (So crafty!) It was so amazing to see all the little touches that she made for their day.
