{Wedding!} Traci & Chad at Camas Meadows Golf Club...

It was a HOT and SUNNY day, that's for sure!
Not only that.. it was Traci & Chad's wedding... two of the most fun and intelligent and awesome people we've had the pleasure of photographing this year.
Not only that... it was August 14th 2010... Josh's birthday!! :)


If a wedding photographer had to spend his/her birthday working on a wedding shoot, he/she could NOT have asked for a better couple to be around! We bonded immediately when we photographed their engagement session on the Eastbank Esplanade in Portland (see those photos here!)... THAT shot was done on the groom's birthday! LOL! :)

Their wedding day was glorious. Surrounded by close friends and family, in a beautifully groomed and manicured location, with lots of trees and water features and a great big, bright room for the reception. Music and dancing and just pure fun!

Here are a handful of the images we took on that day... with more to come! :)

Josh and I, of MoscaPhoto, were graciously asked to be the official photographers for the event and we could not be any happier and excited to have been chosen!

The first assignment we had was to drive around the East Side (of Portland) from one locally owned and inspired restaurant to the other. 4 in total. All delicious and with their own spark and original creations. The chefs were happy to open their doors to us and show off some of their favorite dishes. We had the opportunity to photograph them and then, of course... sample them! Not a bad day at all for Luxe and Mosca! ;)

Our photos will be printed large and displayed as promotional material and as wall art, at the festival. Come on over to it so sample the eats and to see our photographs, and to say hi! :)

{Wedding!} Heather & Ananth - a GORGEOUS private property country wedding in Sisters Oregon!

Two beautiful souls!
Absolutely made for one another... just perfect!


They were a JOY to photograph, not only at their engagement session on their tandem bike around downtown Portland (see that FUN session here!), but at their wedding too.


Bird cage veil, bright yellow bridesmaid dresses, a tractor, gorgeous sunset light in the trees of the beautiful area that is Sister, Oregon (three hours southeast of Portland). 


Heather and Ananth WANTED to be photographed. Not because weddings and photographers go hand in hand, but because they knew that they wanted someone to perfectly capture their attitudes, goofiness, love and fun personalities... its as if they already knew how they wanted to be immortalized in the camera, how they wanted to be captured on film, so that years down the road, they could look back at the images and see THEMSELVES in them...


We love what we do. We are so lucky to meet people like Heather and Ananth and to witness sincere emotion and important milestones such as this day was.


Here are a few images of their wedding day...
