oh anne nunn, how do i even begin? i’m not sure i’ve ever met a nicer or more generous person, but can we just talk about the pictures? no? you mean they’re just too gorgeous for words? well, yes, i suppose you’re right about that.
i was fortunate to meet anne last october when we worked together for a wedding and since then we’ve been plotting and scheming all sorts of fun things together. she truly is one of the best eugene has to offer, so take a peek at some pics and scope what she has to say. make sure to stop by her website and blog for even more lovely images.

| melissa and matt are too sexy for this blog. |
a: how did you first get interested in photography?
anne: I took a non-credit photography and dark room class at LCC when I was 18 and instantly fell in love with photography. I continued to photograph landscapes, but shifted my focus more towards lifestyle and wedding photography when our first daughter was born. I still love photographing Oregon’s beautiful landscapes, but these days it’s a little more difficult to pull the car over in a moment of pure inspiration with 3 kids in the car. :)

| the wedding that corresponds to this engagement shoot is going to be even more awesome than the groom’s mustache. that’s a lot of awesome. |
a: where do you turn for creative inspiration?
anne: I do have a couple photographers who I absolutely adore (Jennifer Skog in San Francisco, for one example), but I gain my greatest inspiration through other facets of art, such as current and vintage fashion, photography from the 1920’s to 1950’s, and sketches of people. I keep a bloglist that I check on a weekly basis and tap into those springs of inspiration.
a: how would you describe your style to somebody who doesn’t know a lot about photography?
anne: We are a distinctive fusion of fashion and photojournalism. I love emotion, but I also want my clients to feel comfortable in front of the camera. So typically I pose the couple and photograph not only the couple in the pose I put together, but I also pay close attention to the way they interact and continue to document the “in-between” the shots.

| something tells me this is one of those in-between shots. :) |
a: aside from taking amazing pictures, how do you like to spend your time?
anne: I love to read. It helps me get a clear head and actually gives me more inspiration. I don’t know if it’s a combination of what I am reading, or just thinking about something else other than photography, but I have noticed that when I carve out some time to curl up with a book, I become more creative. I also love to cook. :)
a: what music is currently playing in your car or on your computer?
a: what’s your best piece of advice for brides?
anne: I know they hear this over and over, but the only thing left after the wedding is the pictures. When creating your wedding budget, make sure photography is a priority. Look through several different photographers’ blogs (specifically focus on their most recent work) and make sure you love their work, then write down your top 3 favorites photographers, and book a consult with them. After you consult, decide which ones you meshed with best. You will be spending 6-14 hours of one of the most important days of your life with your photographers and you want your wedding day to be spent with people whom you love to be with!
thanks for sharing, anne! make sure to check out her facebook page for more loveliness to come as wedding season takes off.
