Jennifer O'Donnell Photography bio picture

Welcome to my blog.

There are loads of photographers who will capture what you looked like at this point in your life.  I want to capture who you are. Right now. The laughter, the joy, the intimate moments between moments. The way the sunlight dances in your son's sandy blonde hair and the wonder of your daughter's eyelashes. Your husband's arms wrapped tightly around your waist in a loving embrace, your delicate crinkles around your eyes you've earned from all of your laughing. These things that make you who you are...at this moment.  The REAL you.  You are beautiful. You inspire me. Come let me show you.

Lindsay and Collin :: The Oregon Golf Club :: Portland Oregon Wedding Photography

Lindsay and Collin were wed at the beautiful Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, admittedly one of my all time favorite wedding venues.  The rich, deep oranges and chocolate browns of the flowers and brides maids dresses reflected the warms and joy of the day.  Laughter, happy tears, silly dancing, and sweet declarations of love...

Happy New Year! :: Oregon & Washington Wedding Photography

Last month I was honored to collaborate with La Fete Event Design on a New Year’s Eve themed inspiration shoot for the bridal blog Style Me Pretty.  The details of this shoot were amazingly well thought out and many were DIY projects that Kara and Trista, the owners of La Fete, spent hours planning and creating. ...

Miranda & Kyle :: Oregon & Washington Wedding Photographer

As I looked back over my (neglected) blog, to my horror, I had not blogged one of my favorite engagement sessions!  Miranda and Kyle met me in Pacific City, a sleepy little coastal town along the Oregon beach.  It’s gorgeous there, but often socked in with dense fog.  This day was no exception.  The fog...

Lindsey and Matt :: The Oregon Golf Club :: Portland Oregon Wedding Photographer

Lindsey and Matt have been together forever!  They’d dated upwards of 7 years by the time their stunning wedding at The Oregon Golf Club took place in late August.  The wedding day was picture perfect.  Warm, but not sweltering, the venue was amazing (as always), and the bride and groom were relaxed, joyful and completely...

Luke and Catherine :: Columbia River Gorge Wedding

Luke and Catherine met on their first day of classes in college.  They were drawn to one another.  Luke’s eyes are sparkling and his calm demeanor draws  you in.  Catherine has an easy smile and an infectious laugh.   They are both ambitious, and fun loving, and their friends would tell you they are truly amazing...

Carly and Craig : St. James Catholic Church & The Gerding Theater

Carly and Craig are two of those people who are just made for one another.  When you’re around them, they make you feel comfortable, right from the start.  Their beautiful wedding day began at Saint James Church in downtown Vancouver.  Carly and Craig opted to have a “first look” moment and see one another prior...

Joy and Thomas are Married (part 4 – “formals”) :: Maui, Destination Wedding Photography

I put the word formals in quotation marks because, when push comes to shove, I am not the most formal of photographers.  My approach is much more relaxed than the word formal implies.  I do help to create a mood to these photos by suggesting angles of the head, arms, body stance, etc, but I...

Joy and Thomas are Married (part 3 – ceremony) :: Maui Wedding Photography

In this installment (hee hee), Joy and Thomas opted not to see each other until Joy was walking down the aisle toward her future husband.  She was escorted by her mom and dad and her dad also performed the ceremony since he is a deacon at their church!  It was truly a family affair.  There...

Joy and Thomas are married (part 2-getting ready) :: Maui, Hawaii Destination Wedding Photography

Joy got ready at her sister Shannon’s house just minutes from where the guys were cooking the pig.  After we finished photographing the removal of the pig from the imu (see earlier post here), we went to Shannon’s to capture the ladies getting all glamed up.  It was a relaxed morning.  Poor Joy had a...

Joy and Thomas are married (Part 1) :: Jennifer O’Donnell Photography, Maui Wedding Photography

This past week I had the honor of photographing Joy and Thomas’ wedding on the Hawaiian Island of Maui.  Wailuku, Hawaii to be exact.  Joy and Thomas actually live on the Island, so the festivities were based around Hawaiian traditions, family and local customs…..all of which I absolutely LOVE!    First up was the cooking...
