This blog post has been a long time coming now. I want to
introduce Tom & Keryn. They are amazing people and amazing artists. Back in
May, Tom & Keryn flew me out to Bali to photograph them and their wedding.
It was just the three of us traveling there and it was one of the greatest
experiences of my life. In September, they had their big reception party in
Portland where all their friends and family attended. While we were in Bali Tom
shot video of the trip on his 5D Mark II and made a beautiful video that he
presented to Keryn at the reception party. Check it out. Also see more photos
on their music slide show HERE.
I can not thank you both enough for everything. I had the
most wonderful time and will never forget it. God bless your marriage and life
together forever.
I absolutely loved meeting and working with Chris &
Stephanie. Stephanie's gown was the RADDEST wedding dress
to photograph. It was made by Seattle designer Chrissy Wai-Ching. For their
portrait shoot they took me to a nearby airfield. For their table center
peaces, Chris brought all his really cool old cameras from home and they sat on
these coffee burlap sacks from Portland // Seattle. I loved how they
represented their love for good coffee and photography through all their
wedding details. Thank you for being the artists that you are. Many blessings
to you and your family.
You looked absolutely beautiful. You have a Beautiful Family too. I just want to wish you many many years of happiness and much joy!

This year Polaroid announced it was going to stop producing instant film, spelling the end for the classic Polaroid camera.
On Friday, we drove to Pitt and stayed with my brother Josh. The
day after the wedding the five of us, including Josh's girlfriend, Krystyn,
spent most of the day taking polaroids around the city and eating out at
some cool restaurants. It was a way short but very nice trip.
Such a Fun Weekend!!!!! Thanks for visiting Cous!!!
(09.15.09 @ 09:46 AM)You know the wedding is going to be such a joy to be a part of when you walk into the rehearsal party at the NINES in Portland and the entire family of the bride and groom are there to welcome you as if they already know you. Rebekah and I felt just like we were part of their family. Morgan and Raegen are some very talented designers at NIKE. Their love for creative design and style is outstanding. They are proof that a wedding can be completely filled with great laughter, no worries, no stress and still be intimate. As proof of her incredible designing abilites, Raegan added many personal and handmade touches to her gown such as the winged cap-sleeved jacket. It was absolutely a piece of art.
Another thing I loved about their wedding was the bridal party and guests. It was so neat to encounter a group of people that were equally laid back as Morgan and Raegen and yet still experience the meaningful relationships that existed between them all. They were all mostly designers and from all over the country. Raegen and Morgan have this classic romantic chemistry about them that I love. They joke and laugh then turn on a little dramatic passion for the camera. Thank you Morgan and Raegen.
Okay, Okay I know I leave a comment on every post but truly Jared...You have got to be kidding me. The photography of this remarkable couple is so deep and breathtaking. I actually started crying when I read what you wrote about them. Raegen, your touches to your dress inspire me as a designer myself and the way you designed your wedding inspires me in this business!!!! I also thank you for giving my friends such a beautiful pallet;) Congrats!!!!
(08.31.09 @ 11:45 AM)Jared, Thank you so much for capturing our wedding so beautifully. Part of what made the evening stress free was knowing what a wonderful photographer we had. Thank you also for your generous words. How great to work with someone who you genuinely like and respect. Morgan and I look forward to our future friendship as well. Thanks also to Austie for her kind comments. I familiar with your work as well and so I take your remarks regarding some of our wedding details as a great compliment!
