In the spotlight: Evrim Icoz Photography
We’ve been working with Evrim since we first joined the wedding world many moons ago. All of us here at Blush have not only had the chance to work alongside him, but have also gotten to know Evrim on a personal level from networking events to chats over coffee. He is charming, witty and truly an exceptional photographer.
It comes as no surprise that he has won numerous local and international awards for excellence in photojournalistic photography…he is nothing short of a genius behind the lens.
Evrim’s strong passion for photography shines through in his work and his energy and ability to capture fun and humorous moments is unmatched.
We worked together on a most memorable wedding at the Portland Art Museum in 2008 where the groom and groomsmen all wore cowboy hats and boots…fitting since they were from Idaho.
However the irony of the photos taken at the reception are some of my favorite to date, one of which was Keith, the groom, and his best man sporting their cowboy hats and carrying their beer, walking past a nude statue on the reception gallery level. Another was when Evrim took Lauren, our lovely and unassuming bride, and had her pose outside the Museum with Keith’s hat.
Crazy things would happen that evening at the Mark Building and this was just the beginning! As the night went on and the Jim Beam and Johnny Walker flowed, Lauren & Keith were invited to an event upstairs in the Kridel Grand Ballroom…none other than the Imperial Sovereign Rose Court’s annual Coronation Ball, filled with some of the states most beautiful and flamboyant drag queens.
Lucky for Keith he got to share a few intimate moments with them which are highlighted here! It was definitely an entertaining evening for all and both Lauren & Keith enjoyed themselves immensely, as did their unexpecting guests.
Evrim did a outstanding job of capturing all of the fun and lively moments throughout the night and there was no shortage of them. What started as a very traditional ceremony at Christ Church Episcopal Parish in Lake Oswego, ended as a very unconventional celebration…gotta love that!
Thank you Evrim, for capturing the events as they unraveled as brilliantly as you did. As always it was a blast working with you and we’re excited for our next wedding together.
