The Best Wedding Images Of 2009 From Byron Roe Photography – Bend, OR
As Wendy and I leap into the new year we look forward to making new friends who are keen to our unique style of wedding photography, as well as keeping up with all our new wedding couple friends we made through out 2009. Thank you all for having the utmost faith in our talents as photographers for our inaugural year. It was a privileged to be part of each and every one of your special days!
Since everyone else is doing their “best of….” for 09, I thought we needed the best bride & groom images of 2009 as well! So here are the coolest images, (in our opinion) from the weddings we shot though out the year. I did the preliminary choosing without Wendy but I knew that it would be better to have lots of choices to pick from since they were destined to be debated once she looked at them! One of the great things, (among many others) about wedding photography is that they’re always unique and never dull. So sit back, relax and enjoy these images that were so inspiring for us to create.
Jamie & Brendan’s Wedding Photography In Bend, Oregon
“Can you zip me up Byron,” Jamie says, as she’s finishing her prep work in the bathroom while Brendan is changing into his duds. The two came over to Bend from Boise and got married in a place they’ve come to love over the years.
Jamie wanted to have a surprise meeting where Brendan could see her for the first time so there I was in a very small bathroom at the Mcmenamins St. Francis School where they were staying, helping Jamie with her dress. Being a guy you’d think I’d be more interested in waiting outside rather than get all mushy with details but I have to admit I’m always filled with pride to be part of such an important event and hey, its a good chance for me to tell the bride to, “keep breathing and enjoy the day!”
What a fun day it was as we took a limo over to Pioneer Park where they had the intimate ceremony (just the three of us plus officiant!) and all I can say is wow, Brendan, that was one of the most passionate kisses I’ve ever seen at a wedding! Afterward, I directed Mr. Limo driver up to a secret spot overlooking part of the city and the clouds and light turned out to be amazing. Finishing up the day we went back to Mcmenamins to shoot some images in the bathhouse. This bathhouse is so cool-it’s wall to wall mosaics, open ceiling, and big fountain in the middle make you think you’ve been transported to some exotic European haunt. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and what a way to end the time with Jamie and Brendan. Cheers to you both and I look forward to hanging with you guys in the future!

Hite Family Christmas Portraits in Pioneer Park, Bend Oregon
Wendy and I had the pleasure of photographing holiday portraits for a good friend, Sheila, and her family during the height of fall at Pioneer Park in Bend, Oregon. What a joy to work with them as the shoot was full of laughter and fun. Thank you Sheila for such an enjoyable time and some great, colorful images.

Wow! The leaves were in its full glory this weekend as the fall colors hit its peak here in Bend, Oregon. Portraits were taken at Pioneer Park and downtown Bend, Oregon for a bit of an urban feel. It was great to try new things with Kendra and her best friend, Haley (Golden Retriever). Thanks for a great shoot!
