Best of 2012
These next few posts are for 2012, the year that I realized I can do this, and the people that helped me do it. The love I got to soak up, and the stories I got to tell. The photos that we made. Together.

Amy & Greg | Foreign Cinema | San Francisco, CA
For the most part, weddings follow a pretty standard formula, usually involving the bride and groom being tucked away from each other for the big reveal. Amy and Greg, on the other hand, decided to throw all of those ideas out the window.

A Week in Paris
When Amanda and Chase asked me to photograph their Paris elopement earlier this year, I knew it was my chance to grab Chris, get on a plane and get out of town.

Alice & Travis | Bike Parade & Backyard Party in Portland, OR
Not only did everyone get a small tour of the city, but they got it by way of bike parade. The swarm gathered outside the courthouse and rode through SE Portland, breaked for a tacos in Laurelhurst Park and ended with a night of rump shakin' at their home in Hollywood.

The Cabin in the Woods
What started out as a plan for a massive camping trip ended up being a cozy cabin retreat in the San Juans.

Alice & Travis | Intimate Elopement in Opal Creek Ancient Forest, OR
They'd been officially married for a few days by this time, but I wanted to give a small taste of who these two are before we overdose on their awesomeness.

Deidre & Beau | World Forestry Center | Portland, OR
For most couples, "A Match Made In Heaven" is nothing more than an old saying. For Deidre and Beau, it's the honest truth.

Brett & J.R. | Sun Soaked Ceremony on the Smith River | Gasquet, CA
An intimate, backyard wedding on the Smith River. It was a day so sweet, even the bees wanted to join us.

This is the year where I promised to stop taking Portland for granted and enjoy all it has to offer.
