They are big fans. Of each other. And sometimes they put on matching orange outfits. Big thanks to Ashley Forrette for shooting with me.

Larissa & Craig, Wedding (Boring, Dullsville OR)

Aaron — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:23:12 +0000

Craig is a brilliant artist and works on big films for a huge studio in SoCal. Larissa is cool enough to have invented Craig if she wanted to. But that’s not the only reason we like them. They are Guinness book record holders for “kindest people of all-time ever in the history of earth & space.” And Ashley and I had a ridiculous amount of fun with them for the sole purpose of eliminating any remaining “Boring, Oregon” jokes.

What it’s like to be photographed by Ashley Forrette.

Lisa & Hunter, Wedding (Portland, OR)

Lisa & Hunter are amazing. Friends for years, finally married. They are architects and despite doing so much of the design and detail (amazing! check their LOGO), they totally just enjoyed their day and their family & friends around them. It was so beautiful. Reception at the Ace Hotel, (The Cleaners).

Shot for Ashley Forrette, and my trusty sidekick was Shaun Ingham who dropped some amazing photos. Thanks Shaun!

Elizabeth & Sam, Engaged

Ona Beach is better with Elizabeth & Sam on it. Yay, Newport. Shot with Ashley Forrette.

Michelle & Jon, Engaged

If sunshine ran for office, I would vote for it and I think Michelle & Jon would too. Shot with Ashley Forrette.

Jen & Matt, Wedding (Mt Hood, Cooper Spur Resort)

Aaron — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 09:30:19 +0000

It’s pretty much like being in the most beautiful place in the world, surrounded by the happiest, most in-love people in the world and I’m just there to take pictures. That’s just awesome.

Diana & Ben, Wedding (Newport, OR)

The cloudy beach, plus Diana’s awesome details, plus Diana & Ben equals a really, really, really great wedding.

Film, Recent Professional & Personal Projects

A few from my latest rolls. If you are a client, or interested in having me shoot some film as well, please ask for details!

First up: Matt & Jen’s Wedding. The ridiculous thing is that I’m posting the film shots BEFORE my digital (Matt & Jen, I promise it’s coming soon!), because it just looks so good.

Next up: from Ashley Forrette’s portrait session:

And from Courtney & Kirk’s Day-After session:

From Kristin & Jonathan’s Anniversary Session:

And of course, a few personal ones:

Kara & Jason, Wedding (Lafayette, OR)

Kara & Jason exceeded the Smiles Limit on their wedding day. So did I.

Ashley Forrette, Portraits

Aaron — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:53:10 +0000

As many of you know, Ashley Forrette and I shoot a lot together, including through our Pancake Studios. We make a lot of funny pictures. We make a lot of wedding pictures. When Ashley asked me to take some promo portraits for her upcoming website and brochures (just kidding about the brochures), I said yes. But inside I puked my guts out. I’ll let her share sometime about what it’s like to be on the other side of the camera, but for me, for the chance to photograph one of my favorite photographers in the universe, it was a pure honor. Thanks to Sauvie Island for being other-worldly.
