News from Robert McNary Photography.

This is the other side of my life and my true purpose as a person and photographer.

Graham- the day he was born in late October.

Owen- the day after Graham was born.

Larissa and John are two very brave people having their wedding in late November at the Oregon coast- it can definitely be a roll of the dice.  The weather, though a bit on the chilly side, was in a good mood and we were able to get some nice portraits on the beach after the ceremony.

The two were married in the charming Community Presbyterian Church, a cozy little building with lots of windows and warm wood paneling. The reception was held at the Surfsand Resort- great room, great food, and right on the beach by Haystack Rock.

This was another great wedding that I shot in cooperation with Valls Photographic- as always it was a treat to photograph. Every year I shoot 3 or 4 weddings with them and I love the arrangement. Please feel free to get in touch with me or Theresa (see her blog post for this wedding here) to learn more.

I was only at Kris and Joe’s wedding for four hours but boy did we make the most of it. I met Kris when she was designing for Icon Motosports- she art directed a couple of the shoots I did for them (click here to see a slideshow of some of them)- and she was happy to have a photographer shoot her wedding who she already knew and trusted.

All the days events took place at the Acadian Ballroom on Alberta Street in NE Portland. It’s a beautiful venue inside but it can be challenging to find outdoor locations without hopping into a car.

There were a lot of laughs and tears at this wedding- I was happy to be a part of it.

Cheers!

Julie and Jeremy were a great couple to work with- both of them are very creative and are surrounded by a great group of family and friends.

The ceremony and reception were held at EcoTrust- a great space in the heart of the Pearl. It’s also just a quick, scenic walk to Jamison Square and Tanner Springs Park, where we were able to grab a few portraits.

After an evening of great food, rockin’ music, and heartfelt toasts Julie and Jeremy headed out on their honeymoon via pedicab.

Congrats!

I really have been lucky this year- so many beautiful, creative, AWESOME weddings. I was commissioned for this wedding via my partnership with Valls Photographic. Every year I shoot 3 or 4 weddings with them and I love the arrangement. Please feel free to get in touch with me or Theresa (see her blog post for this wedding here) to learn more.

This was a great day- beautiful light outside for the ceremony at Shemanski Fountain in the Park Blocks (my first ceremony there- can’t wait for my next one), an escort by The Lions of Batucada over to the Portland Art Museum, where Tanya joined them on the dance floor. Let’s see, what else, um, only tasty food from The Vibrant Table, lovely flowers and coordination from Kim at Geranium Lakes, rockin’ music, cigars outside- you get the picture?
