Congrats to Ava and Brandon! The summer air was perfect for their wedding. Thanks so much for having us photograph your wedding.

The Bride, Holly in the hotel elevator!

Classy. That’s the best way to describe Tony and Holly’s amazingly beautiful wedding here in Portland, Oregon at the Aquariva Hotel and Spa next to the Willamette River on October 3rd, 2009.

Tony and Holly got ready in the beautiful hotel suite and then moved outside to meet with friends and family, just as we were starting to snap some amazing photos – the rain started! They decided to go ahead and begin the small, private wedding ceremony overlooking the river when the rain stopped! As the clouds gave way to sun, we started quickly shooting again and got amazing images from around the area!

The reception inside the Aquariva lounge was equally as beautiful and elegant. Soon, everyone was dancing the night away celebrating the newlyweds!

Congrats Tony + Holly!

Their dog wanted in on the 1st look too!

Wow! What a wedding! Set on the Oregon coast near Seaside, Oregon in Gearhart, Oregon – Calvin and Sheelah got married as the sunset on the West Coast on 9/19/09.

The weather called for rain for the day – but a miracle happened and the day was simply perfect. A huge celebration after the ceromony began with a lot of great food and drinks! Beautifully made decorations with candle light and Christmas lights surrounded the area as everyone celebrated with Calvin and Sheelah; soaking in one of the last great remaining nights of an amazing Northwest summer!

A Great Staircase...

I loved the light!

Congratulations Tina and Adam on your wedding!

It was a perfect summer day for a wedding at the Anderson Lodge in Aerial, Washington. The sky clear, the temperature perfect, the setting beautiful and everyone happy. The day started out with some amazing shooting with the guys and then some great photography with the girls. Then onto the ceremony with the beautiful background of the mountains behind the saying of the vows. Then, as the sun was going down it was time for some great food and awesome music…checkout the sweet dance moves!

Thanks everyone! It was great shooting and being with you all!

How to save money on wedding photography without sacrificing quality.

The excitement and fun in planning a wedding is discovering a whole world of details from finding the right dress to the perfect bouquet. Most people planning a wedding are learning as they go. The point to keep in mind though is after everything is over, years later the only two things you will have are the rings and the photographs to remind you of all the special moments of the day.

Because of this, wedding photography is one of the most important decisions you will make in planning your wedding. If you cut-corners on the photography you will most certainly regret it in years to come. But, there are ways to save on the photography without sacrificing the quality of the pictures if you take your time and use it to plan well in advance…

OneBloom Photography offers these tips…

• Look for quality photography and products – no matter what you pay, quality is important.
• See if you can do a engagement session or bridal session before the wedding. This will leave you with a lot of great images but also with more time on the wedding day that can be spent with your family and friends.
• Instead of having the photographer deliver a proof book of 4×6s, ask for on-line viewing of your images, not only can you share these with long-distance loved ones, but they might be available sooner, and cut down on your final cost.
• Having someone chip in on your wedding photos as a wedding gift works wonders.
• Eliminate single use cameras. While they sound like a great idea, you rarely get more than one or two good images from them. Small children use them, as do the rowdier and less, dare I say it, mature folks in your wedding party. This saves you several hundred dollars by the time you order them, personalize them and develop the photos.

Don’t just compare them on the price alone. Look at what your getting in your package. Take note of their portfolio. Are the photos professional and outstanding? Observe their professionalism. Ask questions not only about the quality of their work but also on their professionalism and personality. Getting along with your photographer and understanding what your receiving will greatly determine your over-all satisfaction.

But, most of all, just have fun! Your wedding photographer is there to help you and should want to work with you to make your wedding the most memorable and amazing event.
