We’ve been busy with portraits, weddings, and even a couple dashes of fashion shooting, but we wanted to pop in and let you know about our Portrait Specials for Valentine’s Day.

Pumpkins and Falling Leaves – engagement and wedding photography in Portland, Oregon

enkophoto — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 20:11:18 +0000

We got together with Alyson and Jeff on a chilly fall day, to snag some casual engagement photos! They took advantage of our Try Us On special by scheduling their engagement shoot with us, and because they also booked us for their wedding, they got to keep the engagement photos at no charge. (Hint: you can still get in on this special, just by mentioning that you saw it on our blog! Be sure to contact us to book an engagement portrait session, before our wedding calendar fills up.)

The weather at the park was beautiful, and there was plenty of fall color to play with… and we even had pumpkins on hand to pose with! They started the session trying to look more sedate and composed for the photos, but Jeff–or as Alyson likes to call him, “El Jefe”–is apparently pretty notorious for not keeping a straight face in photos. But, we LOVE it when our portrait clients loosen up and clown around during a session, so we captured some parent-pleasing photos, and the spontaneous shots that showed them as the clever, funny, and utterly non-serious people they are when they’re together.

We’re really jazzed to be the photographers shooting Alyson and Jeff’s wedding this coming Fall. It’s shaping up to be a blast, and we’re sure it’ll be anything but ordinary… just how we like it.

It’s been a busy week, especially now that Ben’s down with a cold, but we’re just popping in to alert our friends in the blogosphere about our new Try Us On special for engagements.

Scarlet at the Queen Anne Victorian Mansion – event & wedding photography in Portland, OR

enkophoto — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:44:16 +0000

We had a great time shooting at Scarlet: A Vintage Fashion & Antique Car Show this past Sunday! The event featured gorgeous bridal and vintage designs from Portland creatives, which made for a beautiful runway show, and the Queen Anne Victorian Mansion made the perfect venue for an elegant event.

We also had the opportunity to shoot with the runway models at the Mansion before the show, and it was a truly amazing location! The inside of the mansion especially caught our eye, and it’s a place that really has to be seen to be believed. If you’re getting married in 2010, this is definitely a venue worth checking out… we had a lot of fun shooting there!

Here’s one of the photos from our Pre-show shooting, featuring a spectacular reconstructed wedding gown by Urchin Re.Design. We love the lush, vintage looks we captured at the mansion, so we hope it inspires some of our brides who might be thinking about what to do for a Bridal bonus session!

Kyra becomes a bride

We recently joined Kyra and Aaron for their wedding at the Arista Ballroom in southeast Portland, and had a great time getting to know the ladies of the wedding party, as they prepared for the ceremony. Kyra had a relaxed group of bridesmaids and friends who kept the mood light while she transformed into a gorgeous bride.

Pardon the interruption

enkophoto — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:32:28 +0000

We’re back from various and sundry early-summer adventures, and hitting the ground running with a laundry list of new tasks and upcoming work, including prepping for two weddings this coming weekend!

What were we up to during our break? After plenty of sailing experience on the rivers and lakes of Oregon, Ben was fortunate enough to serve as crew on his first sailing voyage on the ocean. As for Sarah, she just landed at PDX this past Monday evening, after spending two fast-paced and amazing weeks in China.

We both had fun, but we’re enjoying being back in the Portland we love so much, and we’re ready to keep moving forward! We’ll also be introducing you to our newest partner soon, so stay tuned!

More bridals, and makeup!

enkophoto — Wed, 13 May 2009 22:36:11 +0000

Here’s another bridal session that, unfortunately, had us cooped up indoors while it poured rain outside. But, the mood was light in the studio, and Olivia was a quirky and fun bride with a great sense of humor.

This was also a great time to highlight the work of one of our Partners, makeup artist Sabrina Cayne. She’s done amazing commercial and fashion makeup for us before, and she also does truly lovely work for brides and bridal parties! Sabrina provided makeup and hair for Olivia’s shoot, and did a great job of bringing out her natural beauty and creating a regal look. She’s a wonderful artist, and we really can’t say enough about her!

Her brand-new professional web site will be launching soon, but until then, you can reach her through her MySpace page, or we can put you in touch with her. We know you’ll be happy to have her as part of your wedding team!

Bridal Portraits: Jessica

enkophoto — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:26:00 +0000

Our session with Jessica was a two-part session: we started by shooting some lovely, softer close-ups in our studio, to capture a bit of elegance. Then, Jessica switched to an edgier up-do, and we moved out to the Broadway bridge, and got some great outdoor shots with the interest of an urban industrial backdrop. Jessica was a sweet and radiant bride, and we had plenty of passing cars honking in approval while we shot on the bridge. Sometimes, you can’t help but love this town!
