What a way to really start off the season!

Last Saturday, was the first wedding of what I like to call “the streak”. Every year, as a wedding photographer, I have a period of time that I am booked solid on Saturdays. Sometimes it is a long run, and sometimes it is a short run, it really depends on the year. This year I will be spending my Saturdays with lovely couples from now, until late September. It is crazy, and hectic, but I love my job so it is all good.

I could not have asked for a better way to start off the streak. Lindsay & Brandon’s wedding was so full of love, fun, color & light, it was amazing. You will see most of the photos below are in bright vibrant color, they have to be to truly capture this bright and vibrant couple.

This wedding was fun, emotional, silly, joyous, and above all so darn beautiful! It really was my pleasure to capture it.

love in a grocery store…

07.14.15

I have done a lot of couples sessions in my time as a photographer.

I have gone to the beach, to the mountains, to coffee shops, and breweries, even a few wineries and sculpture parks.

But never, have I ever, shot in a grocery store.

But just a few short weeks ago, I did. And it was AWESOME.

When talking about “special” spots to this lovely couple, they laughingly admitted they spent their first couple dates grocery shopping. When your lives are busy with kids, jobs, and other things, you sometimes take the time you can get with each-other. I totally get that. Just last week I spent my “date night” with my husband at IKEA. If you really love someone, and love spending time with them, the location is very secondary.

So, off to the grocery store we went. We had a great time laughing, dancing, and freaking out the other customers. 😉

Enjoy the peek!

Andrea & Scott, you guys win, just in all things fun, loving, and silly, you win. I can not wait for your wedding this weekend!

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! I will have the whole set to you shortly. For now, if you like I would love to throw down a blog contest. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post, I will throw in an 11×14 mounted wall print on the house. You know you want it. 🙂

Great photos. The male model could use some air brushing.
Michelle OsborneJuly 15, 2015 - 8:50 am
Great photos! Very down-to-Earth and awesome. Fun, fun, fun 🙂

Hi Dr. Senn, this is Apollo, Susie and my dad. Congratulations to both you and Andrea and your family. We also wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed looking at these fun pictures!

I have a favor to ask, I noticed on Aisle 3 on the right side, third shelf down, that the store carries my favorite cans of sardines. Could you pick me up three cans and I will pay you later? 🙂

Also, I was thinking about your statement that maybe Andrea might be blind. Logically thinking, that can’t be a true statement because she found you. It’s all in the science Dr. Senn, and also the heart right? Don’t forget… aisle 3. Thank you!

Take care,
Apollo

Tammy & Hung: Love

07.02.15

Tammy and Hung make me laugh, for real. I spent more time giggle like a kid at this session than any other in recent memory. These guys are smart, funny and have so much fun together. Each couple has their own way, their own connection, and I try my hardest to capture it during our sessions together. With Tammy and Hung it was easy to see the love they have for each-other, they show it in laughter and smiles.

Here are a few from our session together.

Tammy & Hung thanks for meeting up with me and being so fun to capture! I had a great time pointing a camera at you guys. I can not wait for your big day in just a few short weeks!

For now I would love to offer you a blog contest, if you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 on the house.

Gorgeous little Grace

07.02.15

Oh how I love my job.

Just recently I got to spend the day with the most gorgeous little girl named Grace. She and her family live in a beautiful home in West Linn. We spent a warm morning and early afternoon talking babies, Chicago hotdogs, gardening, and cats, and taking some beautiful photos of course. Grace was so sweet and sleepy to work with, such a darling little lady.

Here are a few of my favorites from our day together.

Tawny & Mike thanks for having me our to your home to capture your darling girl. It was a pleasure working with you guys, and meeting your little lady. I will have the whole set ready for you shortly.

For now I would love to offer you a blog contest. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post, I will throw in a set of brag books on the house.

leave some love folks,
