It's possible I went a little JJ Abrams on this one, but that lens flare is just so pretty, I couldn't help myself. Getting close to being able to share Melissa + Sam's gorgeous Bridal Veil Lakes wedding photography -- Can't wait!
Just got home from my first Pennsylvania wedding, and I can't wait to show off these beautiful photos! Signe and Aaron had me photograph their engagement session while they were at U of O last year, and then flew me out to Philly to photograph their beautiful wedding. They got married just outside of Philadelphia in North Wales, PA this weekend at the beautiful Joseph Ambler Inn. And they're still every bit as cute as they were at their engagement session.
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...
I was so delighted to visit with Holly and Jake recently for another maternity session. This time we took photos in their adorable little home just across the river in Vancouver, WA so that we could include their lovely nursery, their skittish cat Bindi, and memories of their beloved daughter Charlie. I can't wait to meet baby Nora when she joins this amazing family!
So excited to share this beautiful Oregon Coast Engagement session! We almost rescheduled because the reports were predicting rain, but I’m so glad we didn’t – it turned out to be a gorgeous evening at Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach. Dramatic skies, a gorgeous sunset, a beautiful, happy couple and their darling puppy – these are the work days that keep me coming back for more!
It's been such a fun ride for Mayda's first year. I've met up with this adorable family every three months since her newborn photos (actually, before that, since we first met for her mom's maternity session!), and it's been so much fun to watch her and her big sister grow. I can't wait to see where they'll go from here!
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!)
I was so excited to be a part of Amity + John's intimiate springtime wedding at the lovely Elder Hall (Ned Ludd's event space) in N Portland, Oregon. I especially love working with out-of-town brides and grooms as they put together their wedding plans, and as I scoped out their Airbnb and the neighborhood surrounding their venue so that I could make suggestions for photo locations and offer guidance about their schedule, I was already thrilled about the possibilities. As they planned their big day, a sort of bright floral theme appeared, with a gorgeous floral sash on the mantle behind their ceremony, a lovely flower crown headpiece for the bride, amazing acrylic flower earrings, and lots of other pops of springtime color
