Ben’s First Birthday!

Justin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:04:00 +0000

Last week my son turned one year old and over the weekend we had a small party for him. Seems the highlight was either his new Buzz Lightyear car or shoving a cupcake in his face. (It was definitely not the party hat.) Here’s a few shots of the little guy.

View the rest of his cake stuffed faces here!

It's a bad sign when the 4 hours of sleep I get between editing is filled with dreams about editing. #needavacation #

I’ll tell you all about the wedding in the full post, but let it be known; I got to ride in a Snowcat!

Brittney & Jacob Wedding Sneak Peek!

Last weekend I traveled down to Waldport, OR for Brittney & Jacob’s awesome beach wedding. Some stubborn fog and persistent chilly wind weren’t enough to dampen the spirits and while it may have been brisk on the beach a lot of the guests were just happy to be away from the inland cities where it was pushing 100°.

I fear I may inadvertently start collecting glow sticks and Dr. Seuss hats. I can't seem to stop listening to Trance music on Pandora. #
Oh. My. God. This guy just blew my childhood's mind. http://youtu.be/71rl10hohRI #
This made me remember my most obsessive Radiohead years, 2001-2006. http://bit.ly/9zSzQ5 #
Just in from a beach wedding in Waldport, OR. I get to stay in a beach house in Newport now. Want zzzzzzz #

Ari & Mary: Wedding

Justin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 09:57:48 +0000

Ari & Mary’s wedding, or at least the situation in which I was lucky enough to photograph it, was providential in the best sense of the word; when Mary first wrote me I had a previous booking on the day of her wedding and had to turn her down, but the very next day that previous booking canceled and I was able to get Mary into that spot immediately! Not to mention that what would have been a single day of shooting in Portland turned into an overnight camping trip in the McKenzie River wilderness at Loloma Lodge with home cooked breakfast the next day. I say fair trade, fair trade indeed.

Ari & Mary are a couple of relaxed, earthy, genuinely “Portlandy” people and their style inspired me to take a vintage angle in their photography, plus the lodge site was crawling with retro vibes, from sweet old bicycles to chalk wall art to stone angels and strings of light bulbs it had a very “hippie commune” feel. You know, without all the linen robes and tambourines and whatnot.

Ari and his groomsmen grew out their beards in honor of the special day and after the reception they quietly slipped away from their ladies and shaved the beards into some seriously questionable mustaches, none more so than Ari’s who’s ‘stache transformed his look from modern hipster to shall we say 1970s “adult entertainer”, much to Mary’s dismay.

Hideya & Mao Mao: Sneak Peek

A happy addition to my list of clients, Mao Mao was a bride’s maid at Anna & Matt’s wedding the day before and she and Hideya were only in town for the weekend and decided to tie the knot while they were here!
