The value of the engagement session

Had a great engagement session last night with Josh and Ashley. The engagement session is great way to get to kmow each other a little bit more which helps on the wedding day. It's also a great way to get a collection of professional images for you as a couple. Many couples use the images for invitations or even weave some into the reception slide show. Here are a few samples of Josh and Ashley.

Junior Brown in Concert

One of the rare times Brenda and I get to go out and see a show. The concert was a Wednesday night show at the Oregon Zoo featuring the guitar master Junior Brown, from Austin Texas. He was amazing, check out his part steel and part regular six string guitar, custom made for him by a guitar maker in Texas. I wish I could put up a video of this madman... He is nothing short of phenomenal. We had a great time, but the food is very expensive and limited, so next time we will bring a cooler with some food.

Still looking for a contractor to trade services

Well, just in case my earlier proposition is too far down on the page, I am repeating my request to trade wedding photography for landscaping services. I am not much of a "do it yourselfer" so, again, if anyone out there reading this is a landscaper who is in need of wedding photography services, drop me a line.

A sampling from Josh and Heather's wedding this weekend

MHP website now functioning properly

Man what a headache... I am a photographer, not a computer geek, no matter how much my name may indicate otherwise. The MHP website is now functioning properly and I invite all to sit down and have a look. We have been shooting some pretty cool weddings lately and the images are proving to be outstanding. We have added some infrared images to our client's delight, infrared is very cool and provides an amazing look when combined with metallic printing. Stay tuned for more....
