Jose at Joys of Life Photography was our photographer at our fall wedding at the Exchange Ballroom…read morein Portland, Oregon. Jose was a phenomenal photographer. He was extraordinarily organized and walked us through a questionnaire which allowed us to express exactly what we wanted. He then used that questionnaire to make sure he caught all the pictures that were important to us including different poses and pictures with different family member groups. He went above and beyond taking pictures throughout the night at our 200-person wedding. The pictures turned out amazing. We have shots that will help us remember our special night forever. Jose also took engagement photos for us in January in downtown Portland. We don't live in the area anymore so didn't know exactly where to go but he took us all around town allowing us to get a variety of different shots including in front of the river, Pioneer Square, Stumptown Coffee, Voodoo Doughnuts, and the Keep Portland Weird sign. Those pictures were also phenomenal. Lastly, Jose provided us with our pictures very quickly and they looked amazing. He has a really clean platform that allows you to look at all the proofs and allows your friends and family to look at the proofs as well. They are also very easy to order from the website which is great. Joys of Life is the perfect company to hire for all of your wedding needs!

She responded promptly to all communication, explained her process and fees clearly, and was flexible with our schedule. The photo session itself was also managed very well. She came over to our house so we were able to be in comfortable surroundings. Jeanette is also very understanding of a newborn's schedule and quirks and never tied us down to a time block for the session. The whole session took about two hours and included multiple mood swings from our baby. She even helped us brainstorm ideas on the fly and the results were amazing! We now have beautiful memories of those first few days after birth.

After tons of mind-numbing research for a wedding photographer around the Portland area, I was…read moredisappointed to see almost everyone charged an exorbitant amount of money with less than astounding portfolios. Also, most photographers I spoke with took quite a while to return my emails or phone calls and charged high travel fees to come to the wedding or prep site. When I found Sky Blue Iris on wedding wire and Yelp, I was super excited. His portfolios are awesome and his prices were seriously unbeatable. Justin was quick to return my calls, answer my questions, and super flexible during the entire process. He also took the time to come to the hotel and take photos as my bridesmaids and I got ready. He made it fun and relaxing for everyone and our pictures turned out perfectly. They captured the emotion and joy of our wedding day...and my very favorite pictures are the ones I had no idea he was taking!! Wedding day pictures are a HUGE deal and can never be duplicated; Sky Blue Iris will not disappoint you!! Thank you SO MUCH, Justin! ~Casey and Katie
