Street scenes from our very own Portland Oregon.

It's been a while since we've posted anything personal ;) I've been looking through our computers, in hopes of cleaning up hard drives and permanently storing older images, to make way for new shoots... in this process, I have come across never before seen images of urban scenes and urban details of the beautiful Portland Oregon. Our city is cozy and architecturally interesting. Josh and I used to spend more time walking around town, looking for details to photograph... here are some from a few years ago that I'd love to share with you. Wider scenes are what we clearly see, even from cars while driving. Closer up details are aspects of the environment around us that we only see if we take out time, walk around and look hard. All are worth capturing. Thanks for looking! :)

On the train at the World Forestry Center.

A super quick Sneak Peek of Wendi & Danny's wedding day! We started early this morning, around 9am. The whole day went by quickly, yet, so much went on! We had a great time and can't wait to show you more, which will be something later today ;) And here is a link to their AWESOME engagement session at the Ice Caves at the base of Mt Adams in Washington. YAY :)

Wedding date: Saturday April 9th, 2011
Wedding location: World Forestry Center, Mt Hood Room, Portland OR
Dress: David's Bridal

SSHHH... a little secret is about to be revealed ;)

I wanted to share a little Sneak Peek of a project that will, for certain, take Portland by storm. The talented and creative Misty Damico of Luxe Event Productions has asked us to collaborate on this project. I cannot reveal too much until the web site is up and more information and content becomes available... but know that it has everything to do with an Ultimate Bachelorette Party Night! A group of ladies will be showered with VIP treatments, which include mini-boudoir sessions... and oh so much more! Stay tuned for more details... in the meantime, become a fan of Hush Sessions' page on facebook to be kept up to date ;)

A "his" and "her" 2-part engagement session. Black Hawk helicopter in one and beautiful natural preserve for the other.

Welcome to another MoscaPhoto-style, extreme, engagement session sneak peek. ;)

We LOVE our job. Its not a job at all, actually. It's a passion that we happen to do for a living. We get to meet incredible people with amazing stories. Amy and Ryan are two such people. We are HONORED to have had the clearance and opportunity to visit Ft Lewis Army Base near Olympia Washington. The hangar and the Black Hawk made available to us for part 1 of the photo shoot, was amazing to see and "play" in and around. WOW.

Part 2 was more of the "her" part of things ;) Amy is a lover of whimsical places, fables and fantasy. As is Ryan, of course! But this part 2 was ALL Amy! The location was a natural preserve south east of Olympia WAshington called Mima Mounds. It is an incredible place, with unique geological features and the most perfect light for photography. What a cool place! One Josh and I would have never gone to see if it weren't for Amy's suggestion! Amy says that this place is so far from centers of light pollution, that any astronomical event is super bright and clear when viewed from here. Next major eclipse or meteor shower... you know where we'll be!! :)

Thank you Amy & Ryan for making Saturday a fun and unique and absolutely unforgettable day! We will cherish these experiences and these memories for ever!

Any & Ryan will marry this coming March 26th 2011
The venue is the Crown Ballroom in Portland OR

Here are a handful of the images taken... more to come! :)
