Danielle and Geoff Rehersal Dinner

Timeless moments at the St. Mary's Cathedral

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.

Father Daughter Moment

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.

Joanna and Mike shared some intimate moments in the Edgefield's vinyards before their reception.

Life Style Engagement Shoot with Joanna and Mike

Joanna and Mike are getting married on May 6th, 2007 in The Old Laurelhurst Church at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale Oregon. During their engagement photo shoot Jos encouraged them to do a "life style" shoot along the vintage streets of North Mississippi street in North Portland. After enjoying the finest Stumptown coffee lattes at The Albina Press they walked along streets simply "being themselves." Jos switched between 6 different lenses capturing a number of diverse angles using the imagery of texturized old walls, old signs, cobb backdrops, and extreme angles of the street shot from the top of a fire escape. "Joanna and Mike are so naturally in the moment," says Jos, "I can't help but capture their authenticity, their love inspires me."
