Oregon Wedding Photographer

We are proud to announce that we have been featured on Shutterbug Magazine one of the most important photography magazines in the world. Needless to say we are very happy to be featured in such prestigious publication. According to Shutterbug we are among four of the best wedding photographers in the country.

Here is the article from Shutterbug:

What follows is a look at the websites of four of the best wedding shooters in the country.

Sandra and Juan Carlos Torres are a husband and wife team who are in love with photographing weddings and it just shows in their work. Juan Carlos is a passionate romantic whose passion is exemplified in the images appearing in the slide show that kicks off this site. The Portfolios section includes his favorites along with entire weddings and the images in these portfolios are lush and elegant, filled with dramatic touches that occasionally echo the innovative images produced by the late Rocky Gunn.

The portfolios include real live album pages that demonstrate an inventive design sense and clear understanding of the use of color—outside the photos—that is rare in wedding album design. Yet, even Juan Carlos’s monochrome images contain a richness and warmth you don’t see much of these days.

Don’t miss his blog that contains samples of recent work, including a portrait session with a bride wearing a red wedding dress that makes a brilliant counterpoint to some of the monochrome photography that’s also featured.

Juan Carlos’s approach to wedding imagery combines the best aspects of traditional photography liberally seasoned with a sprinkling of fresh, new spices, creating a hybrid that must be a hit with clients who want what’s old, yet new at the same time. Juan Carlos calls himself an artistic journalist and while that’s a fair description, I think there’s a far greater emphasis on the artistic quality of these stunning wedding images.

The Venue: The Crown Ballroom
The Photographer Portland Oregon Photographer : Juan Carlos Torres

We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful wedding of Lindsey and Josiah at the Crown Ballroom, one of the most unique and beautiful wedding venues in downtown Portland. As always, our wedding photography sessions are dynamic and fun and we were able to capture the beauty and romance of Lindsey and Josiah and the mood of the venue which had some of the most amazing Italian renaissance style decor. This was an evening wedding and all of the events took place indoors. At the end of the reception the couple rode a beautiful horse-drawn carriage to their hotel. We followed them to the waterfront where we captured a few fun and romantic photos in the city lights. We then followed them to the Embassy Suites where we captured a few last photos before we called it a night. We believe that every wedding deserves the best from us. We brought professional studio lights and modifiers. We are delighted with the quality of the photographs that we captured.

Below are some of the photos from this awesome wedding:

The Couple: Shruti and Sunil
The Venue: Portland Art Museum
The Photographer Portland Oregon Wedding Photographer : Juan Carlos Torres

It is hard to put in words how beautiful and joyful was the Indian wedding of Shruti and Sunil in Portland Oregon. In the words of many it was the largest wedding celebration in Portland this year.
I must confess that initially Sandra and I a little intimidated by the size of the wedding and because we had never photographed an Indian wedding before. On top of that the wedding was at the Portland Art Museum one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Portland but also a very dark place. The challenge was to use radio controlled lights and at the same capture the beauty, color, and mood of the wedding. It is easy to just blast light all over a wedding venue but if destroys the mood then the photos don’t look like the place was at the time of the wedding.
Shruti provided us with lots of background information about traditional Indian wedding ceremonies. It was like taking a course in Cultural Anthropology. We learned that every single detail and step of the wedding ceremony has cultural, traditional and human meaning. We were so honored to learn about such a wonderful culture and its millennial traditions.

It was a long day, we started photographing at 8:00 AM and finished at midnight. After 16 hours and many photos we came home and were very glad with the beautiful wedding photos that we had the privilege to capture.

Below are a few album pages from this wonderful wedding celebration. We are looking forward to photographing more Indian weddings!!!!

Mr. Shah the father of the bride just called the other day to tell us how happy he is with the wedding photographs. He wants to take us to dinner. Wow, we feel so honored and would love to spend some time with the Shah family. They are amazing people!!
