Andrew & Jenn - July 26th, 2008

Robbie — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 01:35:21 +0000

Andrew & Jenn got married in downtown Portland at the Hotel Vintage Plaza. They were married in the Wine Cellar in the basement, which is only lit by candles and tiny lightbulbs that look like candles. We had fun walking around and blocking traffic, as you can see above.

Assisting: Adele & Brock - July 12, 2008

I assisted Becca at Adele & Brock’s wedding, located at a vineyard west of Portland (can’t remember the name!). Here’s some favorites from that day… I especially get a kick out of the “Jesus of Nazareth” style photo of Brock.

Kelly & Justin - June 27th, 2008

Kelly & Justin got married in a neighbors’ beautiful back yard. It was like a state park, a veritable photo op buffet. This yard also happened to be near a golden field…

The image above on the left is my favorite one of the day.

On their down the aisle after the kiss, they did a little dance.

Engagement Shoot - Andrew & Jenn

Robbie — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:24:41 +0000

With their wedding date quickly approaching, Andrew & Jenn and I went down to the SE waterfront industrial area to do some engagement photos. It’s a cool place to shoot, with all kinds of props like shopping carts laying around for anyone to use. And we did. I found two vintage umbrellas at a garage sale a couple weeks ago, and I gave the red one to them to use, and I think it worked out great.

Sweet Vinyl Score - Pour Quelques dollars de plus

Robbie — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 17:57:08 +0000

I’ve been collecting vinyl with a new-found tenacity lately, and my latest Ebay find is this French copy of the Ennio Morricone soundtrack for the Sergio Leone spaghetti western film For a Few Dollars More. The title track features the whistling and guitar playing of Alessandro Alessandroni, “everyone’s favorite whistler”. The cover features Clint Eastwood’s grimacing face as Three Serious Dudes approach from behind. And the back cover has a gnarly duel in progress, plus the original sticker from the shop the record was sold in somewhere in France.

Katie & Lee - June 7th, 2008

Robbie — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:27:20 +0000

Katie & Lee got married at the Mormon Temple in Lake Oswego. It’s a huge white marble building, with many steps and columns–it was most tranquil. Becca Blevins came with me as my second shooter, it was bodacious as is often the case. We have a deal going where we help each other out at weddings when we’re able to, it’s most excellent, like, in a major way!

After shooting a bit at the Temple, we headed back into downtown Portland to Park Kitchen, in the North Park Blocks. We shot some more stuff around there, and then it was time to relax!

Jessica & Kevin - May 31st, 2008

Robbie — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:59:22 +0000

I second shot with my friend Becca Blevins, and we started out up at the Pittock Mansion. Needless to say, it was a classy affair. We wondered if Jessica had done some modeling in the past, because it all seemed so natural with her. She hadn’t.

Heather & Justin - May 25th, 2008

Robbie — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:22:09 +0000

Heather & Justin had an outdoor wedding in the South Park Blocks in downtown Portland–really cool location. Their reception was at the Oregon Historical Society, in the back under a tent. Luckily the rain held off (well, most of the day anyway).

Dex & Claire - May 10th, 2008

Robbie — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 17:49:01 +0000

My friends Dex & Claire got married in a private ceremony in Switzerland, and when they came back had a little shindig for family and friends in a park near their apartment. They asked me to bring my camera along, and here’s some shots from the day. There were a lot of kids running around…

Luke & Jeanette - May 3rd, 2008

Robbie — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:54:44 +0000

My first wedding of the year was as a second shooter for my friend Eric Schlange at a wedding down in Mariposa, CA. I don’t shoot as a second shooter too often anymore, but I like to once in a while to stay sharp. The day after the wedding we drove up to Yosemite National Park, it was super awesome. Here’s some shots from the day & Yosemite–enjoy!
