Heirloom Images Photography - Bend Oregon wedding photographer
Senneh O’Reilly came to photography after leaving an established career for the Forest Service as a wildland firefighter. Firefighting gave Senneh a background in personnel management and decision making in a dynamic environment, while providing opportunities to travel and photograph around the world. This diverse experience, combined with a degree in professional photography, created the foundation for what is now Heirloom Images Photography.
Senneh loves the process of telling a story with images, whether capturing your magical wedding moments with her low-key journalistic approach, or finding a unique way to showcase your personality and experience. She takes time to meet with couples and fully understand their vision, put them at ease in front of the camera, and capture their natural and sincere emotions. Senneh’s goal is to record your special moments as heirlooms for years of enjoyment to come.
With over 12 years of commercial production experience and sporting the latest in camera gear Kara Jensen certainly has what it takes to fulfill her role as the principal of Expectations Moving Pictures and as a respected member of the wedding filmmaking community in Central Oregon and beyond. An active member of many national wedding filmmaking Associations, including WEVA, Wedfact, {Infocus}, and Re:Frame, Kara makes the effort to attend conferences and workshops several times each year to learn about the latest developments in the field of wedding filmmaking. She is well-connected with leading professionals in her field and keeps in touch with her peers for support and inspiration through social media and networking.
But beneath the high-tech, high motivation surface is where Kara and her team really shine. Committed to telling the unique and personal story of every newlywed couple, the Expectations approach to wedding filmmaking goes beyond the norm. “We make films for people about people,” said Jensen. “We work hard to create a special relationship with each of our clients so that when the big day arrives we are friends and not just ‘the folks with the cameras.’”
Jensen approaches each wedding with a fresh and engaging eye, and with years of experience and a friendly, non-invasive manner she and her team strive to capture the true heart and personality of each ceremony. “I’ve been fortunate to have been a part of hundreds of weddings over the years,” said Jensen. “And each one has been truly special and captivating in its own way. I feel that it is truly an honor to be part of such a sacred event in people’s lives.”
New this year Expectations is offering Same Day Edits (SDE) where footage captured just hours earlier at the wedding ceremony is edited and ready to be shown to reception guests. “And for people who like that nice grainy saturated look of real film I love to shoot with my vintage Super8 camera,” said Jensen. “Or maybe a bride or groom likes documentary style which I also really enjoy. Oh, and I love to do destination weddings too!” Enthusiasm for her profession shines through Jensen as she speaks of the work she loves to do, and the creative ideas just keep coming. Her goal is clearly to provide not just a professional wedding video, but a truly moving picture.
