The Colony St. John’s Event & Wedding Venue

emily — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:42:56 +0000

This week I have to admit I have been over the map. Working with lovely couples, babies, a furniture rental company and more. All over the map I tell ya. And it has been wonderful. I love working with people, and variety makes me happy. One of the most fun points of the week was capturing The Colony St. John’s open house. The Colony is a new wedding & event venue in North Portland. Such a cool place. It is a stunning old building redone beautifully. They thew a kicker open house/kick off/launch party. It was my pleasure to go in and capture it for them. Here are a few of the images from the evening…

Also here are some of the vendors involved, I really hope I am not missing anyone, but I am sure I am…

something borrowed shoot at The Colony

Last week it was my pleasure to work with the lovely ladies of Something Borrowed Portland Vintage Rentals. They put together a wonderful team of vendors to show off some of their new rental pieces and lovely inventory. I had a great time capturing their team’s creativity. We also used the shoot to preview a killer new N. Portland event venue. I went back last night to shoot their open house and can not wait to show off some additional images. It has been a fun & creative week to say the least.

creative headshots

emily — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:57:23 +0000

When I am not capturing fun weddings & beautiful babies I sometimes take on commercial & head shot clients. I tend to work best with creative types, and have some great sessions in the past you can check out here if you like. One of my most recent sessions was with a wonderful former wedding client. You might remember Sarah & Mary’s wedding at the Rose Garden & Zoo just over 2 years ago. I had so much fun working with these ladies, it was my pleasure to capture Sarah again in her most recent business pursuit. Sarah is a musical therapist specializing in special needs kids. I am in awe of the work she does, and the love she has for her clients. We got together recently to do some promo shots for her business Notable Connections.We did some of just her for her new site, along with a few inducing a cute little client. It was fun to capture her at work.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Sarah thanks for hiring me to capture this next chapter in your life. It was a pleasure to work with you again, and I wish you nothing but success in your business!

pretty girls + sparkly jewlry = fun photo shoot.

emily — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 04:55:51 +0000

I know I say it all the time but I have amazingly talented colleagues. This time I want to brag about my friend Mandalena of Mandalena Designs. Mand is super talented and tons of fun to work with. She has creativity in every inch of her, and lucky for all of us is comes out in stunning Jewelry form. We have worked together on a few shoots in the past, the fairytail shoot at the Imago and the rural beauty shoot. Each time we chatted about doing something “more” in the future. Well a few weeks back that finally came to pass. Madalena had a high fashion big contrast style in mind. Not my normal look, but I was super excited to capture the little world she was creating. The day of the shoot was so fun too, she lined up some really great creatives to take part from hair & makeup, to wardrobe. It was my pleasure to be part of the team.

Check out a few of my favorite images from our shoot:

Mandalena thanks again for asking me to do this project with you. It was so fun to execute your vision. Your work is amazing as always! More soon!

because my local community rocks

emily — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:27:28 +0000

Ok lets be honest for a bit, growing up I could not WAIT to get out of my small town. I was ready to live in a big city, with big things to to. Well I left, I traveled, I lived in the city, and in the end I came back. For many reasons it is still weird, but I do love my little town. So when I was asked to photograph an event here in my own hood I was happy to do it. The Camellia Festival was a great day, celebrating art and culture in the pacific rim. The Chehalem Cultural Center is a great venue for it too, we are lucky to have such a great space with such a dedicated staff in our little town.

Here are a few of my favorites from the event:

back to babies & weddings very soon!

Say I Do Again with Daria, Mitch & Ted

emily — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:18:41 +0000

I have loved working with the lovely Daria, Portland’s local radio queen over the last few years, and of course with her whole team over at 105.1 the Buzz. Of course they are smart, witty and hilarious, but they are just plain nice people to be around. So when Daria’s team asked if I could come shoot their annual Say I Do Again event I of course said yes.

The event was super fun, held at the lovely downtown Hotel Monaco. I especially loved the delicious bites brought by Saint Cupcake. ( I may have had a few). All of the couples were lovely to hang out with, I am pretty sure we all had a great night.

Here are a few from the evening…

why yes I do have talented friends…

It is always such a huge compliment when I am hired by wedding industry friends.

Recently I was hired by Sunny of Puddle Jumpin Cards to do some new head-shots & product photography for her. Sunny does interesting and creative wedding invitations and paper products. We have had the pleasure of working together a few times. She does some amazing work, it really was my pleasure to capture it.

I just love doing head shots for other creatives, it is always so fun!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Sunny thanks again for meeting me and being so fun to work with! Drinks and immature jokes again soon.

is there anything better than wedding dress shopping?

emily — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:34:23 +0000

It was my pleasure this weekend to hang out with the lovely ladies of AniA Collection in downtown Portland. The shop is always amazing, but the glamor was extra special this weekend with the Lazaro Trunk show in town. I was asked to come in and capture some of the show, and assist soon to be brides with photos of them in their wedding dress options. It really was such a fun time. I mean really, what is more fun thank trying on glamorous wedding dresses?! The show was a busy one, and the AniA staff was extra busy, but we all had a great time, and met some beautiful brides.

Here are a couple snaps from the show.

Flowers provided by the lovely & talented Stephanie Major with Petalos.
