the reality of my life as a photographer-mama of three is that blogging takes a back seat. i’m in the era of refusing to feel bad about that any more and just getting on with sharing work when i’m able to or when it makes sense. i still love to share a more complete expression of the story this way, more than can be seen in an instagram post or on my portfolio. a single image just doesn’t do a wedding justice, honestly. if you’re looking for a wedding photographer, it’s so important to look at blogs that show the whole day unfolding - or ask to see full galleries!

and so here we have the absolutely gorgeous, unique, heartfelt wedding day of Katie & Khan. they planned their wedding with such intention and deep meaning; honoring family traditions and showcasing some of Portland’s iconic spaces and cuisine to family and friends from near and far. i was so grateful to have had the amazing Lauren Miles as my second shooter for this one - some of her beautiful work is mixed in below.
