OneBloom Photography Blog Portland, Oregon Wedding Photography and Portrait Photographer

Destiny and Justin are a fun, happy couple that were open to being creative and getting some awesome art of the two of them together. We went to the Woodburn Tulip Festival and it was amazing. We had never been to a Tulip Farm and let alone one in full bloom! The sun was really bright when we first started our session – so a lot of the best images were when the sun started coming down. Perfect light. The magic hour was incredible. We couldn’t shoot fast enough and the photographers all around us were equally as busy. Everywhere we walked was beauty and Destiny and Justin made it even easier. It was so hard to choose the photos from this session. We hope you love the images we selected from your engagement session. We had a ton of fun and we hope to be there with you two for your wedding in the Dominican Republic!

It’s 2012. We got to choose our favorite images from every wedding we have photographed- then from those weddings narrow down from the thousand plus images to our very favorites. It’s tough. It’s tough to narrow down to just 30 images. Some images have been the result of a candid moment, a beautifully composed image, or maybe the image was something that was just technically hard to capture and was captured perfectly. Something artistically beautiful or unexpected – something unique or maybe something normal that has a different perspective. We hope you enjoy the images. We loved capturing them. Thank you to all our clients for a fantastic 2011. Our very best year yet. Cheers to 2012!

OneBloom Photography is based out of Portland, Oregon. Please contact us to setup your wedding!

Well, I can honestly say I’ve never photographed such a unique wedding. That being said, it was awesome. Maria and Barree are from Chicago (check out their engagement session on the Oregon Coast). They have never been to the Northwest before and wanted to do something that was fun and unique. I’m just glad they picked me to be their photographer!

We started out at the beautiful Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon – got some fantastic images in a very short amount of time. Then, onto Voodoo Doughnuts for the wedding ceremony! Smelling delicous and decked out in pink and filled with randomness we awaited the arrival of the Bride and Groom. Upon their arrival, Barree surveyed the crowd waiting – and made a run for it. Only shortly though, he came back after jogging in the 95 degree heat and sun.

Nobody knew what to expect for the ‘Voodoo’ ceremony. When the officiant said he would be right back because he had to change, we thought it meant he was going to change out of his shorts and tank top. Nope. A few minutes later he comes out sweating in a purple dinosaur outfit. The ceremony was hilarious, fun and brief. A short 1st dance, some doughnuts of course and some fun group pictures and it was off for more locations to take some great wedding pictures in Portland.

Maria and Barre, I was your tour guide, your photographer and I tried to be a comedian too. Thanks so much for having me photograph you both while you enjoyed the Northwest and all that Portland had to offer. We had a blast and hope that you come back soon! Just be sure to let us know!

We just launched the new OneBloom Photography wedding website. Also in the works is a new blog, portrait photography website and commercial photography website. Yes, we do it all. Where should we put the personal/artistic photography?

We love how the new site shows a stunning intro of 28 beautiful wedding images. The site works in smoothly in flash and HTML, including on the iPhone and other mobile devices. The new wedding photography website  features weddings and engagement photography from Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington as well. The goal was to create a simple open website that wasn’t cluttered or filled with anything unnecessary. So, we had to drop the personal work and that also meant portrait and commercial photography. So - two more websites are being created! The new OneBloom Photography Blog will match the wedding website and be a showcase for all of our photography projects and wedding updates!

Also, currently facebook group is experiencing awesome growth! The audience that it reaches is huge and the feedback we recieve is fantastic! Thank you all for your support and love!

This is Mia! Just needed a couple photos done for Christmas. At just 10 months – isn’t she cute?

Contact us for your portrait session! We will travel anywhere within the Portland, Oregon area and beyond.

This is Konner. This is the 1st picture I took of him. He was caught off guard.

I love watching a 2 year old as they experience the world. Little Konner was a challenge for us to keep up with but, by the end of the day we had plenty of photos of him.

A little candy and some patience was all it took.

Yup. The perfect scene and Konner has his finger up his nose. After removing said finger, Konner decided this scene was done.

I love it.

Contact us for your family portrait session! We will travel anywhere within the Portland, Oregon area and far beyond.

Rachael and Brandon will be getting married this coming November! They are getting married at Timberline Lodge, I’m looking forward to getting some great images from around the area! These images were done around Vancouver, Washington – the Vancouver Land Bridge and a corn field! Enjoy!

Congratulations to Kelsey and Leo! Here is their Vancouver, Washington Wedding Photographs!

I know you spent so much time and effort planning your wedding and it really showed. What a great wedding guys, I had a great time and I hope that you love these photos! It was hot out, but you two were perfect! I had a really hard time limiting myself to editing just a few wedding photography images to post….enjoy! You’ll have a ton more fantastic images on your discs!

Leo, your a rockstar. Kelsey, better watch out.

You guys have great chemistry. Thank you for choosing OneBloom Photography to be a part of your wedding!

Wedding Photography in Beautiful Washington State. Congratulations Nicole and James!

This was my 3rd wedding that I have photographed at Anderson Lodge. Anderson Lodge is a beautiful area and I love being there. It’s a longer drive than the usual weddings I photograph but the relaxed ambiance is really worth it. It was 95 degrees that day…hot but so beautiful!

These beautiful pieces of artwork are part of the ‘Art of the Amercian Soldier’ exhibit that showcases paintings and sketches in the line of duty. The exhibit holds over 15,000 pieces from 1,300 soldiers. These pieces were previously never-before-seen by the public.

The showing is currently on display in Philadelphia. Starts September 24th, 2010 and runs to January 10, 2011.

More information at their website.

I personally hope that the show will make it’s way to Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington where we at OneBloom will get a chance to look at all of this amazing piece of unseen history. We love inspiration.
