Three weeks before the scheduled shoot, I reached out to her about specific details (time and the confirmed place), and she then informed me that she is based in Portland. This is after my family and I had rented a house nearby for the primary purpose of getting photos taken. When I suggested that either we reschedule for the spring or that she refund my money, she said that I would have to pay the money again in the spring, and has refused to refund my deposit. I will be reporting her to the Better Business Bureau, and I would definitely not use her as a photographer.

Timothy and Amanda are two beautiful souled photographers. You are not just dollar signs to them,…read moreyou are a human that deserves the best pictures of your special day and that is what they delivered. Timothy has a great eye for not only standard photos of people but also for capturing people in action. He is very creative and unique as well with lighting and placement of the subject.

She also caught the funniest moments of our guests that we will cherish. My husband and are very thankful for the two of them.

I found a number of photographers online; but Tim's website showed more enthusiasm, artistic talent, creativity, and professionalism than the others so we decided to give him a try. What a great find! He and his partner were very professional and very creative - we absolutely love the pictures. Everyone keeps asking, "Who was your photographer and how did you find him?" His rate was fair and affordable. If we ever get the opportunity, we will definitely be using him again. We could not be more pleased with our experience. Hands down, this husband and wife team are the best photographers we have ever worked with.

We knew after one phone call that we were making the right choice in working with Hannah and Kaela for our engagement shoot and wedding! The engagement shoot was a great way to get acquainted with these gals and get comfortable in front of their cameras. They took us out to a gorgeous, private spot in Hood River and gave us helpful suggestions on how to stand and move naturally until we got the hang of things. The day of the wedding, Hannah and Kaela somehow managed to be efficient with the time and keep things moving, while at the same time blending in to the background and letting us enjoy all the moments of the day as they came. The benefit to having two amazing photographers working together is invaluable - in looking over our wedding photos, we get to see the same moments from different angles, such as seeing each of our faces during the first look. Not to mention, we got a TON of photos back from both the engagement shoot and wedding. They really captured the sweetest, most heartfelt moments of the day, and we love getting to relive them through our photos.

Out final meeting ended up getting snowed out and Missy was very flexible, she offered to meet us anytime and anywhere in order to make my final planning as easy as possible. When we did meet, I felt like I was meeting a friend for coffee, she was so comfortable and relaxed. When it comes to the wedding day, Missy was fantastic! She arrived early and didn't charge us extra for the extra hour of shooting time that we got. Missy was able to deal with all of our diverse personalities without problem and she really helped to set everyone at ease. Our photos were beautiful! We started getting sneak peaks the day after our wedding and got all of our final images within 5 weeks. Missy was willing to add or adapt any editing changes that we asked.

That is what I found in Gurusurya. She's got "it" - a beautifully nuanced eye for capturing not just images, but true and honest moments. That is what you will take with you in her photos. Why else do we even keep photos if not for that? Beyond the scope of portraits and weddings, her sense of aesthetics and arrangements of space is also excellent. It's clear that she is a perfectionist and will work very hard to deliver an absolute perfect product.

Providence Academy seems to be widely under-recognized by the Southwest WA and Portland, OR metro…read morearea for the Academy's significance and impact on the development of the region. When the "House of Providence" was dedicated in September 1873, it was the largest brick building north of San Francisco in the West. The iconic, four-story school and orphanage closed doors in 1966, but, not only is "the Academy" still standing, it has been undergoing a multi-million dollar restoration process since 2015. These days, it is a historic commercial and event space with the Academy Chapel and nearby Ballroom as the site of numerous weddings and ceremonies. In 1856, Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart with four other Sisters of Providence from Montreal, Canada arrived at faraway Fort Vancouver to set up a mission in the Washington Territory. Within a year, the Sisters had established a small one-room school in a flood-prone cabin at the Fort. Through vigorous fund-raising efforts and dedication, the 5 Sisters of Providence built the impressive Academy in 1873 on higher ground to serve as a school, orphanage, and governance offices ... and 16 years before Washington would even become a state. As newer schools from other parishes replaced it in 1966, the first 110 years of community service continued to leave a lasting imprint on the region such as the non-profit organization Providence Health which grew from these simple origins to now have 50 hospitals and over 800 clinics. Providence Academy was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and purchased from the prominent Hidden family in 2015 by the Vancouver Historic Trust thanks to $5 million raised by a philanthropic campaign. Over $2.1 million in renovation efforts have already repaired the roof and porches. An additional $25 million is scheduled to be spent on the chapel, ballrooms, restrooms, parking, accessibility, utilities, and replacing a restaurant built in 1976. Free 1-hour tours are available upon request and I'm glad I got to join one. I had no idea the history, importance, or legacy of the Providence Academy. There is also a free app called the Providence Academy Journey for an augmented reality and virtual tour. If you are new to the region or just interested in learning more about one of the truly historic sites of the Pacific Northwest, I recommend checking out Providence Academy. Otherwise, the building is a memorable choice for leasing office space, hosting a corporate event, or celebrating a wedding, baptism, or other affair.
