Balloons Over Bend

Balloons Over Bend, Amanda Mae Images, Wedding Photographer

 I had the exciting job of photographing Balloons Over Bend for a client who was surprising her husband with a hot air balloon ride for their 25th anniversary. They came over to Bend, Oregon from Eugene for the 6am launch. Before this photo shoot I never thought I'd wake up at 5am to watch balloons fly away, but I may just do it again. Watching the rainbow of balloons float gracefully over the Old Mill District was a treat worth waking up for.

Steve & Rachel Esesh

I love engagement sessions.
Like love them.

Here's a few from Rachel & Steve's engagement session. (They look like models don't they?) They totally rocked it and were super fun to work with. This is just another reminder of why I love my job.

Enjoy!

Jewelry Fashion Shoot

 I had the super fun privilege of photographing Amanda Sarles's Jewelry Designs. Besides being a creative jewelry maker, she's a talented singer, songwriter and a dear friend. A huge thanks to our models, Thanittha Green, Samantha Stevens, and Amanda Sarles for being such great models. You girls rocked it!

Talarico Wedding :: Aspen Hall, Bend OR

 Best First Look reaction ever! 

Chris and KrisAnn Talarico got married on an (unusually) beautiful day in February at Aspen Hall in Bend, OR. This couple was amazing - it was evident that they were just so excited to be getting married. The details, yes, are important and it's easy to get wrapped up in them, but I loved witnessing how their love for each other and enthusiasm to start life together was the focus and priority of the day. Almost anything could have happened and you wouldn't have been able to take the smiles off their faces. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Talarico!
