This 2011 year has been another amazing one! As the last day of the year has finally come, and as we prepare to celebrate the coming of 2012, I couldn't help but gather one image from each wedding / proposal / engagement / styled shoot of 2011... Josh and I want to personally THANK YOU for being in our lives this year, and for helping us grow as people, as a business and as your friends. Each year, there is nothing quite like meeting new people, being trusted with each of your special days and continuing to keep in touch days, months, years afterwards. We love each and every one of you and wish you... A HAPPY NEW YEAR! ...filled with joy, inspiration, patience, innovation, travels, milestones, friendship, and love! ~ Alice & Joshy <3

'tis the season! This is the time for a little extra time with family and close friends (you've reunited for the Holidays! Make the most of it!). This is the time to ponder about the past year's hard work and happenings (we know we've had many "firsts" that we will always cherish!). This is the time for many of you to pop-the-question and start planning for a wonderful wedding celebration.  Josh and I, here at MoscaPhoto, wish you HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a CONGRATULATIONS shout-out too ;) We're excited to hear from you in the coming weeks as the New Year rolls in and plans are made.  Boy!! We WISH we could be there to photograph, capture and witness your proposal and the reaction! It's a priceless time, as many other milestones in life are. Plan it well and enjoy yourselves! Love and Hugs to You from Us! ~ Alice (& Josh) :)

Rachael and Matthew commissioned us to be their engagement and wedding photographers some two years ago! They were living in Arizona at the time, but knew that they would marry in Portland, around Thanksgiving 2011. Sure enough, they did! This was MoscaPhoto's last wedding shoot of our amazing 2011 wedding season and it was memorable. We really got to know Rachael & Matthew over the two years prior to their wedding (we even photographed them for TWO engagement sessions! One INSIDE of the Rose Garden, on the Blazers court and one at Oaks Amusement Park in Sellwood). When their wedding day came about, we felt like we already knew them as friends and were really looking forward to finally seeing them get married! Here is a quick summary of their 10 hour wedding day. Wedding Day: November 26th 2011 Getting Ready Location: Embassy Suites , Downtown Portland OR Reception Location: Dance Pavillion at Oaks Park , Sellwood OR Wedding Coordination: Angela Sweetman, A Sweet Event Wed...

Panama. It's an amazing place. I have lived in Caracas, Venezuela (among other places in the world) and had a pre-determined idea of what Panama was going to be like, being "another latin country". Well, boy was I wrong. My parents live there (have for 4 years) and have attempted to explain and describe it to me, but nothing was more convincing than to actually be there and experience it.  Images don't do it justice. It is well worth travelling to and spending some quality time exploring and talking to the locals. They are extremely proud of their country and willing to talk with you to show you just how excited they are to have the canal and all it's money back in their hands. Their president has used (and is using) this money, to grow the city in all it's glory. New infrastructure, new buildings, new roads, more police force, gardens, public works, etc...  Don't get me wrong. It's still a latin country and it's still in it's early ...

Hello friends! I've been missing for the past 12 days from the MoscaPhoto BLOG world (but super active on our  Facebook page , be sure to like us over there too! ;) because I was abroad! My parents live in Panama and I had the opportunity of having an early holiday break with them there. I left on the 6th and returned just yesterday (the 18th of December). I have SO many images to show you! I'll be taking today to get back on my feet after being away for a while, so many more photos will be coming at you soon... for now, I wanted to share one of them ;) You should have seem me this night... I was walking back from a resort to the little condo that my parents have just down the street in  Playa Blanca  when I noticed that the moon was simply glorious! Not only that, the skies were clear and the stars were bright. So I ran to the condo, grabbed my camera and ran right back to the beach. It was around 11pm. I was all alone in the dark (just moonlit) and s...

It's been a while since we've posted anything personal ;) I've been looking through our computers, in hopes of cleaning up hard drives and permanently storing older images, to make way for new shoots... in this process, I have come across never before seen images of urban scenes and urban details of the beautiful Portland Oregon. Our city is cozy and architecturally interesting. Josh and I used to spend more time walking around town, looking for details to photograph... here are some from a few years ago that I'd love to share with you. Wider scenes are what we clearly see, even from cars while driving. Closer up details are aspects of the environment around us that we only see if we take out time, walk around and look hard. All are worth capturing. Thanks for looking! :)

* Such * a cute post! Why? 'Cause look at this baby! ;) Her name is Juliette and she is the brand new baby of Lindsay & Tim (who were married in October of 2010 at Abernethy Center). We met them then and continue, to this day, as their friends and photographers. We love our "job"! :) So, meet Juliette! We LOVE gaining the new friends that being wedding photographers allows... and when we ge to stay in touch and be a part of additional memorable and important milestones, it's even more rewarding. Juliette was born this past October and she is a doll. A perfect little face and super cooperative too! It's almost as if she knew she was in the spotlight and was so sweet to not cry or fuss about me being there for a whole hour. Yay! Her sister Trinity was also there, feeding her and being the wonderful big sister that she is. We love this family! We're so happy to have them in our lives and can't wait to see what the future brings! OH! And I can'...
