just look what you can find while cleaning…

One of the many things on my “To Do” list this week is to pull out images for my new portfolio website. Each year I try and update things around here so that new and prospective couples can get a feel for what I do.

Well while digging through old files this week this one popped out at me.

Anna = Rad Bride for sure.

Do you remember Anna & Matt’s super rainy & super amazing wedding at the Oregon Gardens in Silverton? I posted a sneak peek here and a full slideshow here.

It truly was one of my favorite weddings of the entire summer. This photo is just one of the many moments I loved capturing. While looking back makes me marvel about what an amazing year 2009 was, I am also so excited to see what 2010 brings. I am booking weddings & filling up the Summer & Fall calender fast these days. So many cool new couples I can not wait to work with! If you or anyone you know is looking for a wedding photographer have them contact me ASAP. I will have to cut off my summer & fall bookings once I reach my max amount of weddings so now is the time to set it up.

Happy February folks! Only 3.5 weeks until baby time around here!

When brides blog…

I have ridiculously rad clients. It is just that simple. I seem to end up working with wonderfully fun, creative, and stylish people. I am a lucky, lucky girl. One of the craftiness brides of 2009 was the one and only Emily P. Do you remember the amazing wedding, and hello LEGO cake topper! I loved every inch of their wedding.

Well Mrs. Price has a incredibly cute blog now, it is full of cute style bits, recipes, and as luck would have it has been blogging about her wedding experience. If any of my 2010 and beyond brides are reading this I would recommend adding PDX Cookie Jar to your blog readers. I am getting Em has some more great information out there for you soon enough!

sign in please…

As I wind down my shooting schedule this month in preparation for little man to make his grand entrance in February I have shifted my energy to a few fun design projects on the list.

The super adorable Megan & Matt have me working on a guest sign in book for their special day showcasing some of the photos we took during their engagement session.

I absolutely adore doing guest sign in books. These books are a great way to show off your engagement photos, and share a little bit more of the couple’s personality on their big day. It is also great because you end up with a keep sake worth showcasing. Each book is individually designed by me to be an original and completely different book than anything else out there.I try my best to bring in the couple’s personality & the wedding theme when possible.

The more traditional guest sign in books (big puffy lined books) honestly, what do you do with those? My old formal guest sign in book is sitting in a box in my basement somewhere! These books are fun to keep on a coffee table and re-read for years to come. The books can either be lined for guest to sign, or have lots of white space for people to leave their best wishes.

If you want to take a sneak peek into what Matt & Megan’s book is looking like I have their first draft posting online here.

Wild & Elegant

It is no secret I absolutely adored the flowers at Kelsey & Stephen’s wedding this past summer.

I mean really, they are amazing right?!

The bouquets, boutonnieres & table pieces were done by one of Portland’s finest floral design shops Ink & Peat in NE Portland. If you are a bride still on the search for a floral designer do your self a favor, call Pam she is amazing.

Well the lovely Pam has a blog of her own and featured Kelsey & Stephen’s wedding today, with some of my work to illustrate the beauty. Click here and take a look for your self. She also talks about what flowers were used and the theme of the design. Great stuff.

2009 has been a whirlwind to say the least. I can not express in words how much I want to thank all of my wonderful friends, colleagues & clients for making 2009 an amazing year for Emily G Photography. Seriously you all rock, I had wonderful time working with all of you, and pointing my camera lens at some amazing things.

In no particular order, in no particular fashion here are some of my favorite images I created in 2009.

(it is a longgggggg one, so I hope you are comfy)
