the brownlees: oregon family portraits

Joel — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 06:37:33 +0000

Back in the summer (how is it already November!?!) I hit the beach to shoot some photos for a friend of mine and her family. It was great to see them and take their photos, especially as the first location was a camp we grew up at: Twin Rocks Friends Camp. Despite some colder weather the overcast skies made for that perfect mid day diffusion that can make or break a day shoot, and we had a great time running around, throwing children in the air (see below), and enjoying the amazing Oregon Coast.

We spent a great evening at the beach with our good friends, the Macy family. We got a few formal shots in, but mostly they all just had fun playing together, which makes for fun and really natural pictures. Thanks, Macys, for a great time hanging out! You made it easy to take great pics.

miriam & clayton: north carolina destination wedding

Joel — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 22:46:35 +0000

Earlier this summer I had the chance to travel out east to North Carolina for Miriam & Clayton’s wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, and really was a reflection of the couple. Set in the Blue Ridge mountains, we had fun doing a pre-wedding shoot before the rest of the wedding day events began. The locations we went to throughout the day were amazing, from small towns set on lakes with waterfalls and swans, to mountain creeks, overlooks of the blue ridge range, and a camp on a lake. Miriam & Clayton, thanks so much again for having me out to shoot your wedding!

brittany & matt: oregon coast wedding

Joel — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:59:12 +0000

I had a blast earlier this summer hitting the Oregon Coast above Pacific City for a beach wedding with Matt & Brittany. It was a perfect day to be on the coast, let alone get married on the coast! As you can see from the photos it was a lot of fun. Thanks again Matt & Brittany for letting me capture your wedding!

I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted, so I added a lot of photos from this wedding to make up for the pause. Rachel & Matt’s wedding was a lot of fun, and it was great to be able to take photos for a friend and fellow photographer! And now, here are a few of our photos from the wedding day…

foreshadow: oregon coast engagement session

Joel — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 07:54:28 +0000

Yes, I know this is ridiculously late! But after driving back from an engagement session just outside of Canon Beach tonight I couldn’t help but put some images up to end the dry spell of posts! First off, I can’t wait to shoot Sarah & Alfredo’s wedding later this year, as it was a blast photographing them laughing and being themselves in the AMAZING light/location! Following is a shot I took on my way home looking out across the bay by Wheeler. What an epic night!
