OneBloom Photography Blog Portland, Oregon Wedding Photography and Portrait Photographer

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!

We started this awesome engagement photography session in a wonderfully cozy condo in the heart of the Pearl District. The smell of freshly baked cookies and in a warm room with a great view on a freezing cold afternoon. We decided to try to brave the cold – good thing we did! We found a few great spots! Then we hit up Bridgeport for some delicious food and beer. An awesome ending to a fantastic session!

Micheal and Laura are getting married in Hawaii next September!

A Beautiful set of Autumn Wedding Photography at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon. Jennifer and Brad wanted a fall wedding filled with beautiful falling leaves and we were all hoping for sunshine. Well, we didn’t get many falling leaves and the sunshine never showed up – but it didn’t keep us from heading out into the rain and getting some fantastic images anyway! Jen and Brad were great about it! They loved working with us in the rain and didn’t complain once. They were in love. They were happy and they were having fun! They wanted to be out there creating some great images. Blessings to a photographers ears. We got pretty soaked behind the camera and while they looked fantastic, we were having two really bad hair days. We stayed nice and dry under the huge tent for the ceremony and reception. The night was a ton of fun and everyone was enjoying the 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!

Noel and Matt were married at the John Palmer House in Portland, Oregon. In the Historic Mississippi District. The home was beautifully arranged for the wedding, with lots of room for all the guests to move around. The getting ready images of Noel took place upstairs in the beautifully restored bathroom. Lots of beautiful light coming through the large windows! The wedding and reception took place in the front yard, which had been completely set with lots of small tables and chairs around the yard to make for intimate conversation and fun! After the wedding, Noel and Matt wanted to go to Prost to celebrate with a beer. This was greeted with a lot of excitement in the small pub and lots of cheers of Congratulations!

As the sun set over the yard, it was beautiful with all the lighting on a perfect summer night. Toasts, dancing and celebrating ending the beautiful evening.

Thank you Noel and Matt! We had a lot of fun!

We had a great time with the Morell family on this session – we got perfect weather for the end of November! Asher was quite cooperative and did a great job with his baby portraits for being just 10 months old!

Wedding Photography at the beautiful Timberline Lodge near Portland, Oregon. Congratulations to Rachael and Brandon!

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.
