There are many different types of photographers, from those who specialize in weddings to those who shoot portraits and events. Some photographers charge per hour while others offer packages that include everything from the engagement session to the wedding day.
If you want to find the best Portland wedding photographer, you should be looking for one who has experience shooting weddings. A wedding photographer should be able to capture the emotion of the moment and tell the story of the day. In addition to capturing the moments, a wedding photographer should be able provide advice on what type of shots you would like to see. For example, if you want to get some candid photos of the bride and groom during the ceremony, then you might want to look for a photographer who specializes in documentary wedding photography or photojournalist wedding photography.
If you are ready to plan your wedding, then you should start thinking about hiring a wedding photographer ASAP. However, you should take your time and think carefully about which photographer you choose. You should ask yourself questions such as: How much does he/she cost? What kind of package does he/she offer? Does he/she specialize in certain types of photography? Do you feel comfortable working with him/her? These are important questions to ask because you want to hire a photographer who will work well with you and your family.

You Just Have Fun!
It's not just about capturing beautiful wedding photos. A wedding is one of the happiest days of a couple's lives, and it's an opportunity to celebrate that joy with family and friends. Please enjoy yourself I will take care of all the pictures!
The best thing about being a wedding photographer is that there are so many different ways to capture the day. I take candid shots and fine art photos of the happy couple enjoying themselves. Whatever style you lean toward, remember to have fun!
I Document Everything With my Camera
It's not just what happens at the reception that matters; it's also what happens during the entire day. So I document with photography throughout the full wedding day, from the getting ready to the end of the formal events of the reception.
The best thing about documenting every moment of the wedding day is that you get to see the big picture. You'll be able to look back and remember all the little details that went into making the day special.
The most important thing to me is capturing the emotion of the day. I want to capture the love between the bride and groom, the joy of the children, and the excitement of the guests. I want to show them how much fun they had, and how much they mean to each other.

How to choose Portland Wedding Photographers.
What's in my Camera Bag?
I am very happy to say that I am always learning and my techniques are constantly evolving. As new equipment and better technology are made available they are implemented in my process.
The type of shoot I am scheduled for will change the amount and type of photography equipment brought to a shoot. In general I have two main camera bags. One bag for cameras and lenses, one bag for lighting equipment.
In the camera bag I will have two Nikon camera bodies. I currently shoot with the Nikon D850 as my primary camera and have a Nikon D810 as my backup camera body. These cameras each take an impressive 45.7 megapixel photograph. The Nikon D850 in my opinion unsurpassed in the clarity and quality of its images.
The camera lenses or glass I choose to work with are called prime lenses, meaning a single focal distance, not a zoom lens. In order to zoom in or out using a prime lens one would have to move forward or backward. Prime lenses have fewer glass elements within them for light to pass through. This offers greater image quality and clarity at the same time allowing more light to enter the camera. The lenses I work with have as many as five f-stops greater light allowance than a high end zoom lens. These five f-stops allow me to shoot using natural light in much lower lighting conditions longer into the evening without grain or image distortion added by ISO or film speed.
The lenses I prefer to use at this time are;
(AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G wide-angle) The wide-angle, a good lens for portraits in very small spaces.
(AF-S NIKKOR 35mm 1.4G ) The standard distance, my primary portrait lens.
(AF-S NIKKOR 85mm 1.4G) The mid distance, a very sharp portrait lens.
(AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II) The telephoto, a very sharp lens, perfect for close ups taken from across the room.
(AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED) The macro, excellent for photographing tiny details in jewelry.
My lighting bag is where I bring flawless even studio light from above to any photo shoot at any location. I elect to use battery power for lighting. Battery power allows me to shoot with studio light without access or concern for power outlets. Typically I will work with natural light until late in the evening. There are some styles of shooting or reasons for using flash in the daylight. For example overpowering unflattering shadows or bringing in the detail of clouds and snow capped mountains. Some mid summer weddings and engagement shoots may not need studio light brought in at all. Having the option is important.
For my primary light source I use the SB-910 AF Speedlight. The primary light source is mounted to the camera. As a backup to my primary light source I have several SB-900 AF Speedlights, they sit in the bag just in case. For off camera light sources I have seven SB-800 AF Speedlights. Off camera lighting is really where the magic happens. Picture a few light sources in the top corners of a room perfectly lighting a given event.. Each unit is powered by a Quantum Turbo Battery, capable of powering a thousand flash bursts.. Each unit is controlled by a Pocket Wizard transceiver, a kind of communication device letting the lights know when to illuminate.. Everything is controlled right from the back of my camera. Each off camera light sources sits on top of a 15 foot light stand that can be outfitted with any light modification tool that the situation calls for.
