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…

Mazel Tov Georgia!

Over the past few years I have been lucky enough to capture countless weddings, quite a few events, and a handful of birthday & other celebrations. I was thrilled a few months ago when I was asked to capture a bat mitzvah! I have been a guest at a few but never had the pleasure of photographing one. Lucky for me Miss Gerogia was wonderful to capture, and the whole family was a dream to work with. The entire night was full of so much love and laughter, I had a great time!

Here are a few, ok many of my favorites from the big event.

Georgia and family thanks again for having me out to capture your big night. It really was my pleasure, you were all so fun! I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek, I will have the whole set done very shortly!

thank you for an amazing 2012!

Tonight I finished my last wedding of 2012 (and it was an amazing one!) and could not help but reflect on what an awesome year it has been. I want to really thank all of you who made 2012 such an amazing year for emily g photography! For now I am going to say thank you, unplug & head to the Oregon Coast with friends and family for a few days off. If you need me I will be back to get things going with new energy in 2013!(Thursday Jan 3rd to be more specific)

Here are a few of the many, many, many images I captured in 2012 that still make me smile…

I do for us too show!

Who has the most fun at wedding shows… we do!

I had a great time this past weekend at the “I do for us too” show just over the river in Vancouver WA. Did you come? Did you party in my booth with me & Courtney? (Yes that’s right Courtney my former client worked the booth with me, she is that awesome. You may remember her wedding here) If so drop me a line, I would love to chat more about all things wedding. It’s been a great week right!

I wanted to say hello again, thank you to all who came, and share a handful of images from the show. You can find even more on my facebook fan page here.

If you were a vendor or model that wants access to the entire set please leave a comment below and I will get you the access info. Again it was wonderful to work with you all!

Xander is 3!

emily — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:33:07 +0000

There are no arguments to be made, Xander is one of the coolest little kids in all of the Portland Metro area. He just is, deal with it. With a super star Daddy & Talented Diva for a Mama it is just meant to be. So what do you do when a super cool kid turns 3? You rent a crazy huge inflate-able castle and rock out of course. I have been lucky enough to work with Daria, Dallas & little Xander for the past few years on belly, baby & kiddo photos. So it was fun to come back this year and capture the little dude’s birthday party. It was a fun event filled with bright colors, super heroes and of course lots of bouncing.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Daria & Dallas thanks again for having me out to capture the big party. You guys really know how to throw a bash. Clearly the little guy was pretty happy with the whole set up.

I will have the whole set done soon, hope you all are enjoying your summer!

because my local community rocks

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…

2011 best of emily g photography

emily — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:30:00 +0000

As always I have been working on a year end post. It has taken a few days as my NYE was spent capturing an amazing wedding, and the following day was spent recouping & catching up on sleep & email.

So today it was time to take a look back on 2011. It was such an amazing year. So many people came in front of my lens, and it really was my honor to capture so many weddings, couples, babies and families. Plus quite a few head-shots, non-profit events and even a bridal show.We added in a studio space early in the year, and even changed logos and looks this year.

It really was just a fantastic year. I want to thank each and every one of you for your love ans support for emily g photography. This business really is an extension of my self and my family, and all of you friends, family and clients help me do what I love. THANK YOU!

Here are my favorites for 2011. I tried to pull at least one photo from each session. I hope I did not miss anyone!

here’s to an even better 2012!

Last week it was my honor to capture a very beautiful and important event. It was my privilege to attend and document the funeral of a beloved father and husband. Not normal kind of event to capture, but when a dear friend asked me I could not say no. I am not going to share many but I wanted to post a handful I think really turned out well with out compromising the families privacy.

Stephanie & family thank you again for trusting me with this. I will have the whole set to you very shortly.
