Are you interested in learning more about being a professional photographer? Do you have basic photography skills but want to take them to the next level? If this describes you and you live in the Corvallis area, I invite you to apply to be an intern with Becerra Photography. Many of you know from facebook and twitter that I broke my leg this weekend and will be needing some help for the next two months. Internship duties would include traveling with me to job sites, setting up and taking down all the equipment lights, cameras, tripods etc. There may be some actual shooting as well if I’m not able to hold the camera. You don’t need your own equipment because we will be using mine, but it helps if you are familiar with Canon cameras. Hours would vary depending on job assignments. Mostly I’m looking for someone who has a great attitude and a passion for learning about photography. This internship would be unpaid. Please send an email with the following information to chris@becerraphotography.com.

Why would you like to be a Becerra Photography intern?
Thanks so much for applying and I hope to make a decision by the end of this week!
Hey photo fans, sorry it has been a while. I’ve been working on a few special projects that have take up some of my time lately. One of them is a promotional piece for Zenith Vineyard featuring their 2008 futures. You can check out the promo clip below and if you’re interest is piqued be sure to head over to Zenith’s site for shipping and pricing information.
Even though I know almost nothing about wine, I loved making this video and listening to Mark go into great detail explaining something he is passionate about. If you’re a wedding vendor and we’ve worked together in the past and you would like a promo video drop me a line!
The first wedding of the year is in the books and it was a blast! Britteny and Ryan’s wedding really shows that you don’t have to get married in August to have a beautiful event. I am in an extreme rush right now, but I’ll be updating this post with more details of the wedding and all the great wedding vendors I worked with soon. For now enjoy the slideshow!
March 7, 2010 - 8:01 pmNicole Wagner - Gorgeous!!!! She was such a beautiful Bride!!! and the photography is awesome. Also, there are some great side shots of Brittany that show off her hair, I'd love a few of those for Chrystal:) You're still one of my fav's!!
Hey everyone, here is a sneak peek from the wedding I shot last night. There were so many amazing details, but I really loved this shot of Britteny looking out the window o f a vintage 1958 Rolls-Royce. More to come….
January 31, 2010 - 12:39 pmNicole Wagner - haha!! I was HOPNG there'd be something up...c'mon, post more!!! I LOVE what I saw on the slideshow last night and I can't wait to get some on my website....can you actually send me this one and the one of her straigt on to put on my facebook? thanks dude, you're incredible! wish I had this talent.....
February 3, 2010 - 6:29 amadmin - Yeah right, we know who the real talented one is!
I had the opportunity to shoot a REALLY intense game of women’s basketball the other night. Cal visited Oregon State in Corvallis. The game wen to double overtime, and the Beavers unfortunately lost. It was an amazing effort, and I think you can see from the pictures that both teams really wanted the win.
It doesn’t happen all the time, but when I get to shoot an engagement session in Portland I really enjoy it. Jessica and Aaron were great to shoot because they kept making each other smile and laugh. I love it when that happens because then I don’t have to come up with cheesy things to say. =)
We started off near the Portland Art Museum which has a lot of fun sculptures to play with.
This pose was Aaron’s idea. I think they pulled it off nicely.
I love love love this shot! Most of the time I encourage people to interact with each other at an engagement session, but I always have them look at the camera for a few traditional photos. I love the simplicity of this shot, and putting it in black and white really puts the emphasis on their calm faces.
A lot of times during an engagement session I’ll throw on my 200mm telephoto lens and get pretty far away to give the couple room to talk without me hearing what they’re saying. Often couples will share inside jokes and the reactions are so genuine. Aaron and Jessica shared the joke with me afterwards. Let’s just say it had to do with athletes and taxpayers.
So the story behind the two shots above is that Jessica had these amazing boots and I just wanted to show them off. I feel like I could see them in a magazine ad.
The end.
Thanks Jessica and Aaron!

Something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while now is to produce a creative way to recap the year and share some of my favorite wedding venues and vendors with prospective brides and grooms. While I blog every wedding, and regularly post on facebook and twitter, I wanted something that people could hold in their hands and take home with them. So I went old school and decided to produce a magazine that features some of the very best wedding vendors in Oregon, along with my favorite shots of the year. You can purchase your own copy of Becerra Photography The Magazine by clicking here. Enjoy!
A new wedding venue just opened in Corvallis and it is amazing. Really there is no place like it in Oregon until you get to Portland and even then the sleek modern feel of the building is very intimate and just plain fun. I think it will be a great place for Willamette Valley weddings for years to come.
The Vue certainly lives of to it’s name as it has a beautiful balcony that over looks Corvallis. Combine the wonderful facilities with the fact that Epic Day Spa is located in the same building and you have a perfect wedding facility all in the same building. Because both The Vue and Epic Day Spa are new businesses I arranged to do a quick photo shoot to show off their facilities. All the bridal dresses were generously provided by The Bridal Gallery in Salem.
We started off with the girls having pedicures and manicures while they enjoyed champagne and a lunch platter.
Then off to hair and makeup and putting on their dresses.
One great feature about The Vue is that they have built in LED lights in the ceilings that change colors and can really add to the atmosphere.
I hope to return during daylight hours and shoot at this great location soon. In the meantime, if your planning a Corvallis, Oregon wedding be sure and stop by in person and check out The Vue and Epic Day Spa!
If you are in the midst of planning a wedding where do you turn for vendor reviews? Champagne NW is reviewing 30 vendors in 30 days and today Becerra Photography is featured. Head on over to Champagne NW, and make sure to check out their great coordination services while you’re there!
It’s been a while since I’ve shot any sports so I headed over to Gill Coliseum to shoot the Beavers vs. the Arizona Wildcats tonight. It was a lot of fun!
The Beavers won of course on a last second three-pointer. I had a feeling that that kind of play might happen so with about 14 seconds left I ran up to the upper balcony to get this shot just as the ball wen in and the crowd went nuts.
