Your wedding is one of the most special and romantic days of your life. One of the best ways to capture the magic of this day is by finding a great photographer to capture those unforgettable moments. But in addition to that, there are other elements that can help make this day as memorable as possible.

We’ve created this blog to share some wonderful moments, tips, and important things for couples to consider about their wedding day. For instance, we have a great post as to why you might consider the use of props or special effects at your wedding. This can make a lasting impression on your guests, but will also assist in creating memorable photographs of your special day.

We also have blogs about live streaming your wedding. Live streaming weddings became very important for many families and friends who were unable to travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This provides the ability for loved ones to virtually attend such a special day, when they might not otherwise be able to for whatever reason.

We’ve been honored to shoot weddings at some of the most beautiful and photogenic venues, locally and in other states as well. We even have a blog post where we provide some great information regarding Oregon coast wedding venues, along with some wonderful wedding pictures from the Oregon coast.

Please take a moment to peruse through our blog and check back on it periodically, as we continue to expand it in an effort to become a valuable resource for engaged couples planning their wedding.
