Prepare yourself for some electric blue eyes. Ready? Are you sure? Oh wow, is this sweet boy amazingly cute or what? Yeah, and the whole family shares in the blue eye awesomeness. I might be a little jealous.

Lindsay and Collin :: The Oregon Golf Club :: Portland Oregon Wedding Photography

Lindsay and Collin were wed at the beautiful Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, admittedly one of my all time favorite wedding venues. The rich, deep oranges and chocolate browns of the flowers and brides maids dresses reflected the warms and joy of the day. Laughter, happy tears, silly dancing, and sweet declarations of love from family and friends made this day extra sweet. Here’s to many happy years together for Lindsay and Collin!

These two sisters had me hopping and dancing about in this beautiful field, chasing them around in the beautiful angel wings their mama (a fellow photographer) brought along. Between giggle fits, I couldn’t get over the sweetness that these two share. They are so connected, so loving, so polite and so much fun!

Alliyah and Lee :: Vancouver Washington Wedding Photographer

Alliyah and Lee have been married for 2 years already. Their love has grown and blossomed into that deep, meaningful, soul-filled love that comes from knowing your spouse and living with them day to day - good and bad, and loving each other through it all. They came to me for some portraits of them together…steeped in love… connection just as strong as it was two years ago. Perhaps even stronger.

Miranda & Kyle :: Oregon & Washington Wedding Photographer

Jenny O'Donnell — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:41:45 +0000

As I looked back over my (neglected) blog, to my horror, I had not blogged one of my favorite engagement sessions! Miranda and Kyle met me in Pacific City, a sleepy little coastal town along the Oregon beach. It’s gorgeous there, but often socked in with dense fog. This day was no exception. The fog was so thick for a while that we couldn’t see more than 20 feet out into the ocean. Thankfully, by the time out evening session took place, the sun was setting and the fog dispersed. It was heavenly! Even the breeze was light, which, if you know the Oregon coast, you know how lucky we were! These two are both teachers who love to play scrabble so we incorporated these two things in with some bright red apples (for the teachers, of course) and an old scrabble game that used to be my parents’ and has been well loved. We laughed a lot, climbed some dunes and I even brought along my funky beach cruiser for some fun shots on the boardwalk. Ah, yes. One of my favorite sessions for sure. I cannot wait to photograph Miranda and Kyle’s wedding at Langdon Farms summer of 2012. It’s sure to be one of my favorite weddings to shoot too!

Fisher Family :: Jennifer O’Donnell Photography :: Vancouver, WA Photographer

I have had the honor of photographing this family through two new additions to their family! It is amazingly special to me to be trusted to capture moments of laughter, silliness and love through different phases of a family. Plus, I get to see how big the kids have gotten, and that is just plain cool to witness!

Little B is six months old! He loves his mama and daddy so much and has a smile ready for them at the drop of a hat. It was not raining (a huge bonus) this October day in Vancouver, so after a few indoor shots, we decided to go play at the park to take advantage of the colorful leaves that still hang on the trees. One good windstorm and the trees around here will be nothing but sticks until Spring comes again. We laughed, B took a ride in his special little wagon that grandma gave him, and we got some joy-filled photos in the process. I love this session. I hope you enjoy it too!

Lindsey and Matt :: The Oregon Golf Club :: Portland Oregon Wedding Photographer

Jenny O'Donnell — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 02:36:04 +0000

Lindsey and Matt have been together forever! They’d dated upwards of 7 years by the time their stunning wedding at The Oregon Golf Club took place in late August. The wedding day was picture perfect. Warm, but not sweltering, the venue was amazing (as always), and the bride and groom were relaxed, joyful and completely head over heels in love. They were surrounded by long time friends, the groom’s sister and the bride’s two brothers as their wedding party, who all did an excellent job at keeping everyone laughing and the energy ignited. From the energetic dancing, heart felt speeches, a toast from the groom’s little nephew, and a silly photo-bombing golfer who randomly jumped into the groomsmen’s photos, the day was fabulous from start to finish. Here are just a few of my favorites from Lindsey and Matt’s day.

Carly and Craig : St. James Catholic Church & The Gerding Theater

Carly and Craig are two of those people who are just made for one another. When you’re around them, they make you feel comfortable, right from the start. Their beautiful wedding day began at Saint James Church in downtown Vancouver. Carly and Craig opted to have a “first look” moment and see one another prior to their ceremony. This allowed them time for just the two of them to have a quiet moment together, as well as get the traditional, more formal photos completed so that family could go right from the ceremony to the reception. I highly recommend structuring your day this way. It cuts down on so much rushing about after the ceremony! After the first look, came the traditional Catholic mass ceremony followed by some time to take more photos in Portland’s Pearl District. The reception came next, held at The Gerding Theater in the Pearl. What an amazing venue! Congratulations to Carly and Craig on a stunning wedding day and best wishes for many more years of happiness together!

A special thank you to Jenifer Johnston Photography for being my right hand lady once again!
