We are honored to have shared our passion yesterday evening with the top bridal consultants and vendors in the Portland area. As the featured speakers we were given the opportunity to showcase our unique approach to wedding photography.
A very special thanks to the staff at The Museum of Oregon Territory for hosting the ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) gathering! Hat's off to all of the vendors and speakers who enriched the meeting with their fine talents. Cheers!
Holly's life long dream to be married in Portland's largest cathedral (Saint Mary's), ride a horse and buggy through the historic Pearl district toward the waterfront, and board the Spirit of Portland for a reception was stunning. Both Jos and Jaysun teamed up to photograph this dynamic love story. Having two lead photographers simultaneously capture their wedding was a perfect fit to fully capture the depth of this story. At one moment Jos sees an opportunity to climb up a fire escape and shoot down on the two kissing near the horse and buddy while the next moment Jaysun is on the back of the carriage capturing a timeless embrace. The images speak for themselves. Click here to see the full story.
Brenda and Jason got married in the St. Mary's Cathedral in NW Portland. Their ceremony had a full mass with Mexican wedding traditions filled with blessings of Lazo, Aras, cricifix, Virgin Mary. A soloist sang an enchanting version of Ava Maria that filled the cathedral with rich feelings of love. Following the ceremony Brenda and Jason enjoyed walking through the Pearl District and along Broadway. They were warmly greeted by a full house of family, friends and acoustic music in the Portland City Grill at the top of the Bank Corp Tower in downtown Portland.
This was a tender moment just before the father and daughter walked down the isle. The moment was as bright as the light falling through the door. This is where everything falls into a timeless feeling and Love's face arrives. It's hard to concentrate during these moments because the energy draws you in, sometimes takes over," Jos said.
Thanks everyone for such a great time yesterday. It was fun to get out and shoot, and Bingo, well it speaks for itself. See ya all next month. ~jaysun BTW ~ PUG is a group of professional photographers in the Portland area that get together every month to share ideas and support creative, innovative approaches to photography.
Danielle and Geoff had a blast walking around their old neighborhood of NW 23rd, where they first met. We had fun drinking martinis and eating ice cream on a sunny spring afternoon in Portland. They will be celebrating their wedding at Grey Gables on June 15th, 2007.
Jessica and Keith are getting married at The Abernethy Center on August 3rd, 2007. Jessica and Keith chose the Industrial Walk for their engagement session. Spontaneity and action is a large part of their personality as the photos express. Jessica and Keith jumped up on old window frames, walked along rail road tracks, kissed in private corners, and fell into timeless moments with lots of laughter. Jos Smith was the photographer for this session.
