Another STELLAR review from one of our brides!


WOW! 

Waking up to a review like this one, ALWAYS makes our day!

Lindsay & Tim married at Abernethy Center on October 2nd 2010 (see their blog post with photos here).
That day could not come soon enough, while we were in the middle of our summer season... talking on the phone with Lindsay, I knew we were ment to be!

We love you both and are SO HAPPY to have met you!
Thank you so much for these amazing and moving words written on our Wedding Wire account!

""If I had to choose one word to describe Mosca it would ‘awesome’. If you haven’t looked through their website, especially the blog section, then stop reading and go look. Isn’t a picture worth a thousand words? Well, in their case, the pictures speak for themselves and words are not necessary. Their photos tell the story of the day.

When I started looking for a photographer I thought it was going to be a long and tedious journey. I wanted someone who could capture the moment and tell the story of one of the most important days of my life and from what I was finding not many had quite the right talent. Then, when I came across Mosca Photo, I thought I struck gold! I felt like I was right there, living the moment with each and every couple during their joyous day as I looked through the photos. I don’t know about you, but when I choose someone to bring into my family’s life {whether for my husband, daughter, or myself}, I want that person to bring a sense of ‘home’ with them. If you aren’t home away from home then you aren’t the right fit for my family. But, Mosca brought just that.

When I spoke with Alice for the first time {we talked for about an hour} I instantly knew Mosca was the perfect fit for us. We talked about photography, of course, but also about our personal lives. She definitely brought a sense of ‘home’ to the conversation, so we booked them immediately! I didn’t think it could get much better, but it did. They really are a fly on the wall; they capture the moment and you don’t even realize they’re there.

Through all of this, Alice and Josh have become more than our wedding photographers. They have become a part of our lives, our friends. If you want nothing short of amazing then you want Alice and Josh, with Mosca Photo! The five stars this review offers just doesn’t do them enough justice.""

{Travel} Oregon Coast Sunset...

Josh and I could not have asked for a more beautiful and peaceful and enjoyable two days at the coast.

It was a very welcome 2-night stay at the YURT in one of our favorite and super convenient places on the coast, close to Portland: Nehalem Bay State Park.

We arrived the evening of Monday October 18th 2010, set up camp in the YURT, cracked open a bottle of wine and walked to the water, knowing full well that the sun was about to set and that we would be cuddled up on the sand quietly relaxing watching nature's show.

Little did we know that the sunset was going to be THIS gorgeous! 
There were maybe 6 other people and their dogs within a two0mile stretch of beach. 

It was quiet, slightly breezy and the more the sun set, the more kaleidoscopic the colors in the sky became. Even if Josh and I intended to be there to take a much needed break from photography, we couldn't help ourselves to take our camera with us and to photograph the beauty around us.

Here are some photos of that night.

{Concert!} The Black Keys @ The Crystal Ballroom - 8.5.10

Hi everyone!

As our Wedding 2010 season winds down -- no more weddings shoots, just editing  and finishing up album designs :) -- we are getting back in to our Concert Photography shoots.

This is exciting, since we love music and great shows tend to come to Portland during the fall/winter months.

We have a separate web site for all of our concert photography, ranging from great local bands to major label  artists. Be sure to bookmark that site and to check it often! Lots of new goodies to look through, on an ongoing basis :)

This past October 5th, I had the opportunity to photograph The Black Keys, on their second night, at the Crystal Ballroom. What an amazing show! Full house (sold out both nights) and great lighting on stage, as always.

I was granted a photo pass while my friend Carrie has the press pass, with which she got to enjoy the show and then write about it on our affiliate web site: Melophobe.

Here is a Sneak Peek of the show.

Here are links to the full set of images as well as Carries eloquent, cynical and sincere review!

See the FULL SET of my images from this show on our Passions Site HERE!
See the review as well as a handful of my images on Melophobe HERE!

Thanks for looking! :)
