One of my first entries on this blog was about Boudoir Photography.  I had recently had my own boudoir photos done, and I felt confident to share tips on how to make the process great for others considering them.  It was a true honor to have Danielle Biel of Skye Blu Photography take my boudoir photos, and the finished product was stunning.  Not only did my husband love them, I was smitten with them.

Danielle has been in the wedding photography business since 2001, when she started as an assistant photographer with a well-established company.  In 2003, she took the plunge and opened Skye Blu Photography.  Danielle photographs weddings, boudoir, portraits and families. Her work has been published multiple times in The Knot, InStyle Weddings, Your Wedding Day, Santa Barbara, Ceremony and Wedding Bells.  Her fabulous boudoir photography has received national attention on the television shoes Inside Edition and Get Married TV.

It was a pleasure to catch up with Danielle and see her new boudoir studio in Pasadena.  She is as fun and charming as ever, and her photography will blow your socks off.

If you are just beginning the search (or still on the hunt) for the right ceremony and reception sites, I encourage you to consider the many wonderful vineyards throughout Oregon.  For wine aficionados, vineyards are a perfect place to tie the knot.  But even if you are not particularly obsessed with wine, you can still take advantage of the laid back ambiance of a vineyard wedding.  Plus, the photo opportunities are extraordinary, from romantic pictures among the vines to stunning shots within the of the vineyard buildings.

There are many options for vineyard weddings in Oregon.  Today I profile Zenith Vineyards.
