CJ and Ali {Pendleton Wedding Photographer}

It was one of those weddings in which you smile the entire way home. And it was a long drive home, 4 hours to be exact. After being in touch with Ali for nearly a year, I was thrilled to finally be able to make the trip to Pendleton to celebrate their wedding.

It couldn't have been a more perfect weekend......it was an incredible wedding with no detail overlooked. Any more guests and it would have been standing-room only in the church, with friends and family joyously watching them become husband and wife. It was a wedding that was long awaited, but happened in perfect time.

CJ and Ali, thank you for letting me be a part of your day!

Welcome To My Blog!

I resist change. I prefer snail mail to email, phone calls to texts, good handshakes and long hugs. Call me old-fashioned, but its who I am. Starting a photography business, however, has forced me to embrace (albeit reluctantly at times) some of this crazy new technology that is shaping our world.

I have to admit, its not all bad. It just takes a bit to get used to, especially for me. One thing I DO love about all this communication business is that it keeps folks in touch. Living out of state from both of our families and nearly all of our friends has forced us to rely on these conveniences to keep in contact with one another. And THIS I do like. So there, I admit...its kinda nice.

Photography brings me much joy....not so much the exact science of capturing the perfectly exposed image, but rather being able to capture what is on the other side of my lens: people. And with people come relationships, and there really isn't much more important in this life than relationships, after all. These people are more than just names in my inbox or files on my computer. They allow me the opportunity to celebrate alongside them some amazing times in their lives.

So while I am still aways from Tweeting, having a cell phone that does more than just ring, and being able to navigate myself via GPS, I do commit to sharing the moments that I am lucky to be a part of. I present to you this blog. I'll warn you though...you won't see any families or couples more beautiful than these.

I can promise you that.
