I decided I couldn't wait any longer to share with you my new blog design and layout! Especially after I accidently lost my old template for this one...whoops! Anyway, it's time to say goodbye to blogger, this was my first blog and I've had a great time getting to know more about the blogging world from it.

Visit Jasmine Photography Blog to see the new blog. Be sure to bookmark the new page! See ya there.

So I've been working on updating the Simply Chic wedding blog and accidently loaded a different template here! I didn't save my old one before I did it so it's gone. But that's ok since I do have a totally new one for this blog that I'm working on.

It may look a bit off here for a few days but I'll bring something cooler in no time!

The results are in from the last ISPWP photo contest. It's always exciting seeing how your peers do and finding out how other photographers view your work. I was pleased to see the following three images make in into the top 10 in their categories.

Above: Entered in "Details-Not Food or Drink". 8th Place.
above: Entered in "Groom Portrait." 2nd place.
above: Entered in "Cake, Food and Drink." 4th place.

On a side note. I'm currently working on a new blog design and layout. With the launch of the new blog will also be an updated logo. I'm really excited about both of these and will let you know as soon as they are all done! Enjoy the sunshine today.

Lucia and John were married in Hawaii with a small group of family and friends. After the wedding and honeymoon they had a bigger reception to celebrate with everyone who wasn't there. They did this on Sept. 6th at the beautiful Waverly Country Club. They incorporated the bright colors of an island wedding into the flowers, men's ties and cake. After greeting their guests, everyone mingled on and around the patio with a view of the river. A first dance by the couple opened up the dance floor for everyone to dance the nite away to a live band. I had so much with working with them and photographing the party. The two of you are beautiful together! Enjoy the pics-

Tricia and Phil tied the knot on August 31st,2008. The Rhododendren park was the back drop for the day. Who knew that it would raining on and off all afternoon! And not just sprinkles, it would down pore, stop and start again. All the groomsmen where running around setting up small tents for the guests and gathering umbrellas. During the ceremony the sun broke as though it was shining on them. After the ceremony the bridal party loaded into the EcoShuttle and were transported to The World Trade Center for the reception. They were greeted to mini cupcakes by Cupcake Jones, a buffet with multiple stations such as sushi, pasta, mexican and local oregon goodies. After toasts the Dj got the party started and they danced all nite! You could hear the party echoing thru the city blocks below. Here are highlights from their day!
