Engagement Photoshoot For A Central Oregon Wedding With Angela And Travis

Angela and Travis brought their dog Hickory to the photo shoot and that turned out to be a great way to spice up some romantic moments that Wendy and I captured down in Bend, Oregon at Tumalo State Park.  Not that the two love birds had a hard time laughing and kissing for my lens!  Angie and I had the same idea of incorporating the river into a shot and the light ended up spilling perfectly into only the middle of the river…..so after a change of clothes and me testing the waters (literally) they made their way into the middle of the stream.  I give both of them alot of credit as the rocks were a bit slippery underneath but really that made for some fun “almost in the drink” shots.  The colors were amazing that day, especially these bushes that were deep red.   Hickory was such a blast (OK, as you know I LOVE dogs) and I think my dog Miles might have some competition from now on in the “good looks” dept.  Playing with dogs in the water, hanging with couples in love, working with my lovely wife and all the while capturing moments in time….did I forget to mention how lucky I am to have a job that I absolutely love!!

Celebrate The Seasons Creates Mobile Greenhouses And Chicken Coops In Central Oregon

So I was at McMenamins shooting some photos of the Sweet Harlots and Julie, who owns Celebrate The Seasons with her husband Duane, overheard a friend and I talking about photography and the rest is history.  Their company creates chicken coops and greenhouses that are not only easily movable but really cool looking as you can see.  I had a great time working with this family and their energy is really inspiring as they work to create something unique.  We had some fun afterwards as I did some portraits of everyone, including their friend Fabian from Switzerland.  Thanks for the eggs guys!  If you want to get one yourself give Duane or Julie a call at 541-244-2536 or 541-CHICKEN.
