Kari & John | Lakeside Garden’s Wedding

with No Comment Lakeside GardensWeddings

I had been wanting to photograph a wedding at Lakeside Gardens in Portland so I was thrilled when Kari and John contacted me to photograph their wedding there.
Then I got to know Kari & John and got excited about their wedding because they’re all around awesome people. Also, they have a dachshund, which always makes people winners in my book!
Kari and John got mostly ready and home and then drove to Lakeside Gardens for final prep and putting the wedding dress on. They had an outdoor ceremony under the gazebo and then an indoor reception and dance party!

Check out the awesome team of professionals that made Kari & Johns big day come together:

DJ / MC – Brett Bell – Encore Mobile DJs
Dresses: Bridal Exclusives and David’s Bridal
Suites/Tuxedos: Men’s Wearhouse

Amanda & Adam | Albany, Oregon Engagement Session

with No Comment Engagement

It’s probably no secret at this point that I love adding the family dogs into photo sessions. So when Amanda & Adam asked if they could bring their dogs to their engagement session I enthusiastically said YES! and then promptly stuck a sticky note to the camera that said “don’t forget to also take photos of the humans!!” Just kidding, but that’s really not a bad idea. These two Great Danes can run at the speed of light and are all around big bundles of goofiness I had a great time getting slobbered on by them. Of course we also managed to get a few pictures of Adam & Amanda alone too. Adam is a Sweet Home firefighter so we managed to work that into their session as well. These two just got married so keep your eyes open for their wedding pictures – coming soon! 🙂
