Wedding Flowers

Wedding Photography in Portland Oregon at The Aerie

Earlier this week I had coffee with Dorinda Malsey of Tayadeline Floral. It was really interesting to hear about weddings from her point of view. The amount of thought and time that goes into wedding flowers is so much more than I had imagined. Hearing about the prep a florist goes through the night before made me really glad that as a wedding photographer most of my work comes after the … [Read more...]

Of course, my hubby has made sure this is no longer the case. I might even admit to being a little bit of a fan myself these days.
