My wonderful, incredible, beautiful friends got hitched at Kells over the weekend and I was lucky enough to be their photographer.
Kel was off somewhere getting fancy so it was just me and the boys for a while. Yeah, it takes more than one hand to do up those cuffs.
During the ceremony each guest was invited to say a word or two that they felt described Kel and Jeremy. It wasn’t something I’d seen before but it was very, very cool.
Dinner was enthusiastically received by the bride and groom.
Followed by a toast with those amazing Guinness cakes…
some dancing…
some singing…
even more singing…
and we wrapped things up with yet more gorgeous pictures.
This was the very last photo I took before I called it a night. Seemed like a pretty cool way to tie up an awesome set of images.
Jeremy and Kel, I don’t have the words to tell you how great it is to see you both so happy. Hopefully the pictures will do the talking for me. I hope you guys are having an amazing time in Ireland and we’re on for dinner after you get back!
Nope, I’ve never seen wedding cakes like that either. More photos coming shortly, stay tuned!
What do you get when you combine two awesome people, tons of happy guests, Oregon wine country and a beautiful spring day? Among other things you get really awesome photos!
Jesika & Paul tied the knot at Zenith Vineyard outside Salem last weekend. The phenomenal catering and flowers were courtesy of Vibrant Table.

Details are a big part of photographing a wedding in my less than humble opinion. All those little things say a lot about the personality of a couple and are an important piece of that whole visual storytelling thing that is our wedding photography. The details are significant in a lot of ways but sometimes I appreciate these shots on a really simple level, just as neat photos. It may be the color, or the swirly cool shapes of a super out of focus background, or really great texture created by lights and darks.

Stepping backwards a few months, here’s a slideshow from another of my favorite weddings this year.

Seven days, two bike rides, one dog session, several portrait sessions, three adoption shoots and a big pile of puppies.

For the first photo post I’m jumping back in time a few months to July, and Marcey and Ryan’s wedding at Gray Gables. This was hands down one of my favorite weddings of the year…

Well this sure has been a long time coming. I’ve been having conversations with myself forever about the blog thing and finally arrived at the conclusion that it was time to Just Do It. Since I’m so late to the party and our year is basically done I’ll use the winter months to post up some greatest hits from our weddings this year, plus some not-wedding stuff that’s equally cool and, even more importantly, give you look at what makes this photographer…well…a photographer.
If you’ve landed here from impressionarts.com you might be wondering what the deal is? Studio 98 is the new us. Over the next half a year or so we’re transitioning away from the old name for a variety of reasons but primarily because Studio 98 is a little more “everything”, and since we do a lot more than just weddings it seemed to make sense.
We’re going to be getting up to some really cool stuff in 2009. Some work on the studio is on the schedule so we can get it all prettified and fanciful, which will make hosting an open house a lot nicer. I’m planning on doing an open studio day at the end of the month, which means anyone who wants can come down, get their picture taken and generally mess about and have fun in front of my camera. A big photo day weekend is also in the works, a fundraiser for Family Dogs New Life. I’m thinking late January so it can be Valentine’s Day themed, more on that soon.
