The King Wedding, July 19th, 2014

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing another one of my favorite couple's wedding. Lindsey and Andrew were married at the historic McMenamin's Grand Lodge in Forest Grove, OR. What a beautiful day and such a fun wedding! 

One of the best things about these two is that they are so head over heels for one another. If some of the ceremony pictures seem a little blurry, it's because Andrew's vows made me tear up like a little, baby girl. My second favorite thing about these two is that they are up for anything. During their engagement shoot, we were climbing on top of old machinery and HUGE cement pipes (...for like of a better word). And once again after the ceremony, I brought Lindsey and her beautiful dress into the rocks and bushes. It's all worth it for the perfect photo right?!

I'll let you all dive into some of my favorite photos soon, but let me first give a big thanks to Lindsey and Andrew for sharing their wedding day with me and for letting me be a part of it. I had such a great time and I'm so excited to keep in touch and see how you both grow throughout the coming years. Cheers to a great day and an even better couple! :)

And without further ado...

Thank you again Lindsey and Andrew!!!

Another month has come and gone, and I have embarrassingly gone a whole month without posting anything else. This last month has flown by and been so insanely busy. I can promise to be better about posting in this coming month because I have lots of material for ya. 

For now, however please indulge yourself in another 10 on 10, and make sure to check out all the other 10 on 10ers while you're at it. Two newbies joined us last month (Shaw Photography and Brittany Conner Photography). The entire group is rock solid and coming your way from all across the country, so go see what they have in store.

Welcome back team. Today I'm taking you on a little tour of the Oregon Coast. My mom was in town to visit in late July. She has only been here once before in the summer. All the other times being for Christmas, during the pit of Oregon's yearly weather cycle. I keep telling her to come visit in the summer because Oregon really does have blue skies and sun. This trip, Oregon did not disappoint.

We took a few days to drive down the Oregon Coast from Cannon Beach to Newport. One known for Haystack Rock and the other for hauling the best seafood the Pacific Ocean has to offer. We were dog sitting Brooke's dog, Olive and I think it's safe to say Z and Olive had the best time of their whole life. It wasn't too bad for the rest of us either.

I finally got to tell me mom "see, I told you so!" when it comes to beautiful Oregon weather. I put up with the gloom and doom in December/January to be able to experience this kind of day in the summer. And we couldn't have asked for a better day. ...plus I had the best Rockfish EVER at Local Ocean.

Until next time...

After last month's trip to AU (some photos in June's 10 on 10), I've had a pretty chill month in Portland. No crazy trips or wild parties. In between shooting a few weddings (wedding season is starting to ramp up quickly here in OR), it's been kinda nice to relax and have some time to catch up on life. So for this month's 10 on 10, I'm taking you through a typical Zerizef summer day in Portland. Dog parks, BBQs, and backyard fires, oh my! Did I mention the incredible weather that we've had lately?

Portland seriously has the best summers EVER. It's the whole reason we stay here. ...okay maybe not the whole reason, but it's definitely towards the top of the list. Next month I'll give you all something more specific to Portland. Hope you all had as nice of a June/early July as we did.

Now scroll back up and visit the rest of the 10 on 10ers so you can see summer all over the country.

Until next time...
