I will be in the Palm Springs/Upland and possibly Newport area January 11th-13th and scheduling portrait sessions. If you have been thinking about getting a new family or couple portrait taken - please shoot me an email at angela @ cardasphotography.com to schedule your session!
Say hi to the lovely Jennifer!
Jennifer is the new Aesthetician at Bandon Family Medicine and was looking for a new image for her business card. I think we got a lot of beautiful shots - with this as her choice for her official image:
Thank you so much Jennifer! It was a pleasure meeting you!
When I see a fellow photographer mention that this was their "Favorite wedding this year" or "my favorite couple ev-eh" I always cringe. I mean, what about all the rest of their couples this year? I seriously love every wedding I am allowed to attend. Every one is special and unique and wonderful, and I'm not just saying that!! :)
However, I am going to have to make an exception for this wedding. I have to say that this is my favorite wedding this year. Maybe even this decade, ok, maybe 2nd only to my own... Why you ask? Because I love these two so so much, and their coming together in marriage is perfection. Traci is my best friend in the world, going back 13 years now! And Bob is a long time friend of my brother in-law, and I introduced them!! I literally knew from the moment I met Bob that he and Traci needed to be together, and I am glad they agreed with me!
I was pulling double duty at this wedding, not only was I the photographer, I was also the Matron of Honor, so I shot a lot of this in a bridesmaid dress and 3 inch heels. Traci and I got our hair and makeup done at Ruby's Spa. They did an amazing job on Traci's 40's inspired hair and makeup and I loved my updo as well! Not to mention the space is beautiful!
It was raining for most of the day - but we had a great time searching out little spots around the hotel. The classic decor of McMenamins Edgefield complemented the 40s vibe Traci and Bob were rockin!
Bob and traci are both fantastc photographers, so using vintage cameras as their centerpieces was a perfect fit!
I obviously couldn't photograph the ceremony, but I did squeeze in one more shot of Traci with her two proud fathers before it was my turn to walk down the aisle!
We had a break between the ceremony and the reception while the McMenamin's staff changed out Blackberry Hall with the tables and chairs. It had stopped raining, so we took advantage of the break - even though it was pitch black out.
Making it official on Facebook!!
The beautiful cake made by Tracis talented sister.

Auntie Traci was no slouch herself!
Such a wonderful evening for a fabulous couple!! Thank you to both of you for being in our lives. Best wishes for many many years to come!!
Hard to believe, but there are more of my favorites from this wedding >>>HERE<<<
If there is one thing that I have gotten good at while shooting portraits on the Oregon Coast, its getting the shoots done FAST! This time of year we usually have a 20-25 minute window between rain showers. Dante and I got his 2 hour session done over the course of two days, but he is a pro, and we didn't need a ton of time to get what we both loved!.
For our first meetup, we started in downtown, across from the Lighthouse. I love how varied the looks we got were in such a small area.
We met up again a week later at Dantes house to finish up our session.
Thanks so much for meeting up with me twice! :) I hope you have a fantastic Senior year, and good luck on choosing a college, I know its a tough choice!
The High School Senior picture fun continues! Next up is the lovely and talented Teri! Teri was one of the Cranberry pricesses this year, and performed a beautiful dance during the talent portion of the Cranberry Queen Coronation.
It was cold and damp but that wasn't going to stop her from rockin that beautiful top!
I love the way the wind caught her hair here.
Thanks so much Teri! It was a pleasure getting to know you, I hope you have an amazing Senior year!
