Hi there! Let me be the first to welcome you to our photo blog. Who is behind this photography studio with the funny name? We are the husband and wife photography team of Ryan and Tiffany based in Portland Oregon. We are a fun and lovely couple who enjoy photographing fabulous weddings, fun families, and cute kiddos. Not only that but we also shoot a ridiculous amount of personal work. We are pretty laid back so kick back and take a look around.
Want to know a little bit more about us?
Ryan is the lead 100% film photographer, loves him some indie rock, is an apple computer fanatic, and is a marriage and family therapist.
Tiffany is the assistant 100% digital photographer, loves all things design, is a baker extraordinaire, and habla espanol.
You Look Nice Today Photography is not only a photography studio that we created, it's also a compliment and it's true.
Introducing TJ and Becca! They were married on the 4th of July in the beautiful Portland Art Museum. I was excited about this wedding not only because TJ and Becca are awesome but also because I grew up going to the Portland Art Museum and at different times had a membership there. The wedding was stunning with soft elegant colors and a perfect location. They also had the most amazing center pieces with each one representing a different part of the northwest which included a post card and various elements from that area. For instance, the Oregon coast table had sand, rocks, and other vegetation from the beach. So cool!
The event catering and decor was done by the talented folks at Vibrant Table.
Introducing Michelle and Garrett! I was particularly excited to shoot this wedding because I knew from their engagement session how laid back and fun they were. We started at the Hotel Monaco in downtown Portland Oregon and then to the World Forestry Center in the west hills. Wonderful ceremony and ah-mazing cake. Seriously, some of the best cake I’ve ever had.

Thanks again you guys for letting us be apart of your big day!
So it’s been a ‘coons age since a music related post which has mostly been due to Apple shutting down lala.com (boo!). But I thought I’d share a band that has been in constant rotation of mine for about a week. Great summer music and makes me want to go on a vacation.
If you’ve followed this blog with any consistency you know that I never do photography giveaways or discounts on sessions. Because I shoot 100% film there are quite a few more costs involved than if I were a digital photographer so it’s tough to discount my sessions. Well times are a changin’ because here is my first official one! The main reason I’m doing this is because I’m really excited to use some amazing locations I’ve hand picked and I have no doubts will blow people away and they will LOVE the photos they get back. Each of the locations are different and totally amazing each in their own way.
So here is the deal. I’m offering 3 dates/locations in which I’ll only be booking two sessions for each date. On the dates/locations below I’m offering a 30% discount on the sitting fee (bringing it to just $175). After the 6 slots are filled I’ll be randomly choosing one of the clients to get their session for free.
So here are the 3 locations with the corresponding dates:
1. September 25th, Oregon Coast (specifically, Ecola State Park just south of Seaside)
2. October 9th, Canby Oregon (my wonderful new home town)
3. November 13th, Tri-cities Washington (just outside of Kennewick is a place only dreams are made of)
If you have been thinking about scheduling something for the fall now is the time because once the 6 slots are gone, they are gone and trust me, these locations are just incredible for photography sessions.

It is with great great excitement that I present the wedding of Fred and Martine. I’ve affectionately been tweeting and calling this the “unicorn wedding”. Mostly because it was seriously one of the most magical events I’ve ever attended and I swear that a few times out of the corner of my eye I saw one of the white horses with a horn.
I loved being at this wedding. LOVED. It was attended by some of the nicest, kindest, most unique people I’ve ever had the pleasure of being around. I was so happy that the fabulous Heather Espana asked me to second shoot. Everything from the indie-folk-anthropology style, to the honky tonk band, to the amazing location set at the foot of Mount Hood, there wasn’t anything not to love.
Enough of my gushing, on to the photos and I’ll let them do the rest of the talking.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted photos of my favorite subjects in the world: my family. Finn is now 3 years old and I love the little person that he is becoming. Tomorrow it’s Addie’s turn.
Oh how I loved this engagement session! The thing that I loved most about this shoot was just how clear to me it was that Dan and Julia were so crazy about each. Seriously. They were both so happy and so in love that it made photographing them easy…like really really easy. That and they were so familiar with my work that I didn’t even really have to pose them much, I’d just describe the beginning of what I was going for and they’d get into it.
Fun fact about this couple: They are huge Oregon Ducks fans and Dan is finishing some grad work there. How big of fans? Look at the colors they chose to wear for their engagement session.
Another fun fact: her name is Julia Roberts, I kid you not.
Before you scroll down and look at the photos I am willing to bet you a dollar that you don’t at least crack a smile at some of these photos. I am so incredibly excited about shooting their wedding in a couple weeks.
Here are some of the photos from my new home town. I can now call myself a Canby Oregon Wedding Photographer. Here is to hoping I get to photograph more weddings and families in the adorable little town.
