O & L Nofziger Gardens in Albany, Oregon

Joe and Kerry were married four years ago at O & L Nofziger Gardens, and decided to create some updated portraits with us! The gardens made for a beautiful setting on a great summer evening... we had a great time together and love how the photos came out.




I love the silhouettes and sun flare here - this would really look stunning on a large canvas wall hanging!


Then for an impromptu wardrobe change...








By the end of the evening, the sunset was really kicking in some warmth...


Thanks for the fun time with both of you, and best wishes for many more wonderful years together!

Wedding at The Garden In The Woods in Corvallis, OR

WARNING: tons of wedding photos coming up!!

Melanie & Wesley had an amazing wedding day this last weekend, enjoying perfect weather and the beautiful venue The Garden In The Woods right here in Corvallis.

We had time to get some portraits of Wes while Melanie was finishing getting ready...





I love the simplicity and lighting on this pair of detail photos!


Here she is... the beautiful bride.


They chose to have a "first look" moment together before the ceremony:



The ceremony area at Garden In The Woods features a recently-built Chinese Tea House that makes for a unique setting.


Ready to get started!




After the ceremony, we had a few minutes for photos with Melanie and Wes. Celebration Florals did an amazing job with the flowers and bouquet, and I love the way the lighting highlights them here:




One of my favorite images, only I can't decide if I prefer it in color or black and white. Leave a comment and say which one you like best!





Then it was back to the reception for dinner and toasts.


Lots of kids were in attendance, which always makes for fun photos...



Time for the first dance!




Melanie dancing with her dad was very special...



Mandy Jansen of Mandy's Custom Cakes did an amazing job with their wedding cake:



All in all, it was a FUN wedding with lots of wonderful moments. Many thanks to Melanie and Wes for sharing their wedding day with us!

When your parents are photographers...

Life is rough on photographers' kids, that's for sure. Everything turns into a photo op! And they know it.

But we never realized how much they pick up on. This weekend we were collecting our gear in preparation for a wedding, and turned around to discover our two-year-old setting up a scene and "directing" his very own photo shoot:


I grabbed a camera just as he said, "Now, smile, Mr. Potato Head!"

Looks like we have an assistant in the making... :-)

1-Year-Old Portraits

One cute dude...




 

We love our engaged couples and the beautiful jewelry and style they bring to photo sessions, like Asscher Cut Engagement Rings, Emerald Cut Engagement Rings, Tension Set Engagement Rings, or even the eye-catching Pear Shaped Engagement Rings.

An experienced Sacramento probate lawyer can help you make wise estate planning choices. A thorough understanding of the law will enable you to make good decisions about your estate and trust probate administration, from a local face-to-face interview.

A stunning choice for a wedding gift would be a wood objet d'art, created by hand from Woodturning Blanks. Display your craftsmanship by using raw maple hardwood pen blanks and bowl blanks to create beautiful vessels. burl wood creates even more options for woodworking projects.

For the perfect diamond engagement ring setting, see Split Shank Engagement Rings or Pave Engagement Rings. These are sure to delight your girlfriend. South Sea Pearl jewelry seen at Paspaley Pearls for earrings, pendants, rings and jewelry is beautifully stunning! Alternatively, see Sterling Silver Lockets.

These are the perfect complement to a Tungsten Carbide Wedding Bands for a handsome groom.
