Portland Engagement Photography
I love Mt. Tabor in the springtime. The winding trails meandering through the lush greenery create a natural, romantic ambiance. As an added bonus, it has some special family history for Lacey - it’s where her parents got engaged. So I was delighted to meet up there with these two for a golden hour engagement session a couple of weeks ago. I love all of the great textures and how the late-day sunlight filters through the trees and gives everything a lovely, warm glow. . .
I photographed this engagement session the evening before leaving on a three week, three-country, two-continent trip. Katie and Eric don’t live in Portland, so this was our one shot to get together for some photos before their September wedding. I’m so glad we were able to make it work because I absolutely love the photos we made together. . .
It’s been such a beautiful October for photos this year! Here’s a lovely little engagement session with Jenny and Charlie in Lower McCleay Park and Trail in Portland’s Forest Park. It was great to spend an afternoon with them and get to see their playful side! I’m looking forward to working with them again for their wedding next summer.
I was so excited when Lauren and Daniel got in touch with me about photographing their wedding. Daniel was the best man in a wedding I photographed this past summer, and he and his fiancée Lauren were about as much fun as wedding guests could be at that reception. I can't wait to photograph their wedding in Bend next summer. . .
Burt proposed to Emily earlier this week, and then we walked around the Portland Waterfront and took photos together. They were SO happy and relieved and excited and adorable. It was a great afternoon.
Paula and Mike wanted an industrial feel for their engagement session, and they had their first date at a coffee shop, so Paula found the lovely Ristretto Roasters at the Schoolhouse Electric Building in the NW industrial area. I love the exposed beams and open space there, paired with the vintage-style fixtures from Schoolhouse Electric. So many fun options for me! Afterwards we went to Tanner Springs - a city park with an industrial feel - to finish out the session. I couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out, and I look forward to their wedding later this year!
I recently took a lovely sunset walk around Trillium Lake with Kyle and Kristin, taking some engagement photos to make a sign-in book for their upcoming wedding. They're fantastic wilderness guides - it was great fun when they pointed out fun flora and fauna along the way, and I'm super happy with the way the photos turned out! Stay tuned for more photography from their upcoming wedding...
My first contact with Amber and Dave was something of a whirlwind: Amber booked me as their wedding photographer on Friday morning, and on Saturday afternoon we were meeting up at Rowena Crest to take their engagement photos! This turned out phenomenally well, since the timing was just right to catch these gorgeous wildflowers in the Columbia River Gorge. (I've done quite a few photo sessions at this very spot, but I've never seen it in bloom before. Such a treat!)
