MY STORY
My name is Dan Rice and my journey as a photographer begin at a very young age. Growing up in Oregon I have always been inspired by the beauty around me and the driving force to preserve those memories. My photography career began while working at a photo lab and spending most of my free time in the darkroom in high school. Fate was on my side when a wedding & portrait studio in SW Portland opened the door into my career and life path. I started photographing professionally in 2001 and was instantly taken away by the love and joy of each wedding day and photography session. In the year 2007 I took a leap of faith and started my own business.
I photograph frequently in Portland, the Oregon Coast, Cannon Beach and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Over the years I have stayed steady with photographing weddings, session photography including families & portraits. My family and I enjoy spending time together and adventuring around the incredible scenery in Oregon. We are blessed with 4 amazing kiddos, who all are looking forward to being my assistant as they grow up. When Iām not taking pictures or editing my time is spent with my family, gardening and surfing.
I personally handle all client relations and photography for my studio. With an amazing editor within my studio we make sure your images look incredible. Photographing with clients is such a treasured process. My biggest compliments from clients is how easy, professional and fun it is to work together. I love amazing lighting! I constantly seek perfect lighting combined with natural, story telling expression in all of my photographs. I make it my goal to capture real emotion, love & joy in all of my photographs. Memories to be cherished for generations.
