After cruising more than 3000 miles on our veggie oil-powered bus, we have arrived safely back in Pennsylvania. Check out a few photos from the last leg of our journey- everything east of the Missouri. We got back this weekend and after briefly catching up with some family and friends, we are back to work. Thank you to all our clients on the west coast for being patient while we moved. We are up

Finding veggie oil has proved tougher than we initially imagined. To recap, Josh, Ada and I (and Yoko the cat) are on our way across the country in our veggie oil powered, converted school bus. So far, so good. The bus is comfy and runs like a dream. But gathering veggie oil, or veg as we've come to call it, has proven more difficult than we expected. In Eugene, the veggie oil conversion

We are excited to announce that big changes are underway in our lives. After spending 3 years in Eugene, we are moving back to Pennsylvania. We are looking forward to getting back to our friends and family and making a life for ourselves in the Poconos. Our plan is to devote ourselves full time to our photography business and continue to shoot weddings in Oregon in the summer. Where will we stay

Here are some photos from Adrienne and Steve's wedding at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon. The weather was perfect that day and everyone had a blast. We took a lot of pictures that day, so we just included some favorites from the "getting ready" phase through the ceremony.  Adrienne and Steve- You two are great! Glad to hear you had fun in Tahiti. Next time, we're coming too

Josh and I got to be Oregon Coast wedding photographers last month. We photographed Mike and Anita's wedding in Lincoln City. Mike and Anita had the wedding of their dreams at the very spot on the Oregon Coast where Mike proposed over a year ago. Mike, Anita and roughly 30 of their friends and family traveled from Alberta, Canada to the Inn at Spanish Head. The Inn at Spanish Head is an

Amy and Mark put a lot of planning into their wedding at DreamWood and it really showed. This 300 guest wedding was all class! The site coordinators did a fantastic job of making sure the day unfolded as planned. The details were exquisite. I loved the table settings and the modern-style white couches used to create an outdoor lounge space on the periphery of the main party area. Amy and Mark

Wow! Belknap Hotsprings has to be one of the best wedding venues in Oregon! Check out the enclosed slideshow or view it on our website. The slideshow takes a few moments to load and includes music so mind your volume if necessary. Josh and I are excited to photograph more weddings at Belknap Hotsprings. We are often Eugene Oregon wedding photographers and Belknap is just an hour up the river.

As the title of this entry would suggest, my family and I recently had the pleasure of swimming at Crater Lake. Enclosed in this entry, is a slide show of a couple from New England who also happened to be jumping in the lake that day. They are on the road still and will hopefully appreciate this preview of photos of their adventures. Also... While on our way back from central Oregon, we found

Josh and I recently had the pleasure of shooting a Gold Beach Oregon wedding on the southern Oregon Coast. The wedding was on Winter Springs Ranch, a private ranch situated on 1000+ acres above the Rogue River and near the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. Although it requires a bit of extra travel, Josh and I are always glad to be Oregon Coast wedding photographers. The couple, Jeanette and Jade, were

Two weeks ago, we had the opportunity to be photographed by our friend and mentor, Glen Johnson of Aperture Photographics. Josh and I were headed to a prom party and decided to make the most of the occasion- as parents of a two-and-a-half year old, we don't get out much. We asked Glen to shoot some photos. I cashed in on a gift certificate and partook of some much appreciated spa pampering.

Ada at Leo Carillio State Beach Josh, Ada and I trucked down to California for Spring Break. The goal was to attend a conference in San Diego and visit some friends and family along the way. San Diego was an amazing place. The climate and people were equally hospitable and we found endless opportunities for amusement. One of the highlights was a day trip to Ocean Beach featuring an ocean swim

Being from Pennsylvania, I am used to snow. In fact, I look forward to real seasonal change. Eugene generally has three seasons: Warm and Dry, Cold and Wet and Warm and Wet. But this Sunday, we were surprised with a bona fide snow storm, accumulating 6-8 inches! So Ada, Josh and I got out the snow pants! Click on the photo to enlarge.

Josh, Ada and I are safely back in Eugene after an extended stay in Pennsylvania. We hear folks back in PA are feeling pretty chilly these days. My dad said it was 9 degrees when he left for work this morning. Just two weeks ago, we were back East enjoying some unseasonably warm weather. Josh, Ada and I lucked out and had a few warm days before we left. The inspiration for the title bar of this

It's nearly 5:30 AM and I've been up for 2 hours. Josh woke me up from a sound sleep to apologize for getting on my case earlier. I was late getting home after class and made him 15 minutes late for his gig at the Eugene Whiteaker Hostel. It is (was) Last Friday Art Walk in the Whiteaker and as usual, our buddy Mac hosted evening festivities including music, food and drink. Tonight was special
