Photographers + barbeque = photograque? Generally I’m opposed to any made up words, unless of course I’ve made them up myself. The Portland wedding photography community has some really awesome members, so when Ashley Forette said she’d been lifting weights in preparation of having a really spectaluar muscle flexing barbeque, I knew it was a party we had to get in on. So a few photographers stepped away from our all day summer post processing festival to relax and partake in some universal summer traditions. I didn’t get a photo of everyone in attendance, sorry about that. Summer’s almost over people, maybe we should do it again before the clouds roll in? Look how much fun we had!

Though a grill managed to arrive, none of us brought utensils.

Ashley’s secret guacamole recipe has been handed down for generations. Hope she doesn’t get mad at me for photographing the secret.

I don’t think I’ve actually photographed Lincoln’s face yet, but that is his camera zeroing in on the coveted Cheez-Its.

Then totally out of nowhere, Yasmin arrived!

Then she started to pretend that she wasn’t actually an accomplished model, and hid behind her beloved hummus.

As I mentioned before, Ashley has been hitting the gym HARD. Or perhaps I enhanced her a little with my awesome post processing.

Aaron doesn’t have a photo site to link to, but he did get a kabob.
