Edge Jumpers

I love doing photography for other artists. Whether they're painters, writers, musicians or fellow photographers there's just something different about their thought process that makes the creativity flow so seamlessly into their session. Siadus, the lead singer and guitarist of Edge Jumpers had a vision for their first album. She wanted something eclectic to fit the album title, something different with wide angles and some different views. I was so excited to try and capture her vision. I just hope I did it justice! Here are a few of my favorites from our session that made me think "Album!".

Wedding Album {Legend}

During my little vacation over the winter I was blessed to have a 12x12 Legend book order come in for Nellie and Casey's wedding. I was elated to get to do a book for them! It turned out amazing and with it being the first book from a new printer I was so pleased with the outcome and REALLY impressed with the quality. The thing weighed 14 lbs!! I told Nellie that I had a really hard time giving it to her because I wanted to keep it :)

There are 20 spreads in the book, 40 sides and since Nellie and Casey's wedding was so unique and amazing I think their spreads are some of my favorites ( I did just do a book for Laura and Chipper and that museum and her bird cage veil made for some awesomeness too :). Here is a peak into Nellie and Casey's book;
 

 

 

Cobe {2 Years}

I've had the privilege of watching Cobe grow from a bump in his momma's belly to a wonderfully energetic two year old. He is always so fun to photograph! His momma mentioned doing some new photos for his birthday and I agreed knowing that the past THREE sessions had been rained out and rescheduled. So I told her I'd just call her when I saw sun and low and behold there was sun just a couple of days after we chatted! Lucky for me she lives just up the road so she hopped down to my house and my boys followed us around the backyard while I chased Cobe around :) That's how most two year old shoots go, I'm running... a lot! It's so fun and challenging and I really think photographing toddlers and weddings are two things that will make any photographer better. With that HAPPY BIRTHDAY COBE!

Chipper & Laura .... Coos Bay Oregon Wedding Photographers

 

Well I have been waiting for this wedding ever since I did Chipper and Laura's engagement session last year! I really enjoyed getting to spend that time with them, dreaming over what their wedding day would look like and it was so much fun to see their dreams come true. Chipper and Laura planned a beautiful day to celebrate their love. They were married by Chipper's grandfather in the church he helped build and start. Their families are already seamless and Chipper and Laura have plenty of support and love as they embark on this new phase of life. 

All of the girls started the day at The Beauty Bar where Kayla did hair and make up;

 

After everyone was all dolled up we headed over to the Coos Art Museum for some fun Bridal shots!

 Onto the guys! Jamie had guy duty and she kept saying how on top of everything they were. In fact they were waiting for her ready to put on cuff links and ties just for pictures! Now that's my kinda' Groom :)

 

 The ceremony was perfect. It was reminded so much of my own wedding complete with some of the same songs! It really brought back some memories;

 

 I was so excited to get to do Chipper and Laura's Bridal session in the Coos Art Museum where the reception was held. It was an amazing venue and really captured the feeling that Chipper and Laura wanted to convey. I know how hard Laura worked to secure a reception venue after her initial site had to cancel because of a broken water pipe and the resulting mildew problems. I think after seeing her efforts come together at the Museum she was so happy that they had to change up their plans! I can't believe how wonderful "option B" turned out!!

 Congratulations Laura and Chipper!!!
