Sellwood Wedding Photographer
Amanda & Kris are my kind of people. They’re easy-going and don’t get too hung up on the details. They just ride the wave wherever it takes them, and make sure to give each other a fist-bump when awesomeness occurs (like getting married). Did I mention that they’re also Battlestar Galactica fans? Like I said, they’re my people!
Their short and sweet wedding ceremony was held at the quaint Oaks Pioneer Church down in Sellwood. The reception followed down the street at Oaks Amusement Park with a potluck picnic, and more little girls enamored by the happy couple than you can shake a churro at.
I was lucky (or crazy) enough to go on a few rides with the newlyweds and catch some of the giggles and screams. Let me just say this: If I thought shooting on a carousel is hard, I don’t know what I was thinking going on one of those tea-cup style rides!
Actually, I do know what I was thinking: This looks like fun!
That was pretty much the theme of the whole day: Have Fun (And Be In Love).
Amanda and Kris held up the theme splendidly.
Thank you, Amanda and Kris, for being so cute, so in love and most of all, so much fun to work with!
Another huge thanks to my second-shooter, Allyson Riggs for joining me at this wedding, and Amanda’s dad for letting us shoot portraits in his uh-mazing turquoise truck!
