jenn + damian // engaged | trillium lake {portland engagement photography}

this session was a wonderful adventure! we drove together to trillium lake, only to discover that the road from the parking lot to the lake was closed for the off-season. so we walked about 2 miles to get there, but it was oh so worth it. i'm always grateful to shoot in an epic location like this one!

so happy for these two!!

rachel + andrew // engaged {portland engagement photography}

it would be quite the understatement to say that i am excited for Rachel & Andrew's wedding this fall. they are super laid-back and fun to be around, and so photogenic! they chose a lifestyle engagement session which i love - i had a great time with them on this rainy Portland afternoon.

happy friday <3

abbi + keith // engaged {portland engagement photography}

holy moly, two months since my last blog post! i've been busy with various assignments and a whole lotta mamahood, but i definitely need to get back in the habit of blogging! i am so excited for the upcoming wedding season, mostly because of couples like this one - Abbi + Keith! these two are so warm, friendly, smiley and sweet to each other, and their engagement session was so much fun. we took a walk around Commonwealth Lake with their two pups; we had the most lovely fall light. 

more engagement sessions are coming. oh yes they are.

i had a lovely time with Iver and his wonderful mamas in august, following them around on a typical sunday morning. they played at the park, we wandered the farmer's market picking out produce, and ended with a sweet treat back at the park. it's silly how long it's taken me to blog this! a little bit of summer on these cold days, enjoy! 

joe + jessica // married | scholls valley lodge {portland wedding photography}

Joe and Jessica are such a great couple. they are big-hearted, adorable and so in love. it's been a pleasure getting to know them this year (check out their engagement session here). their wedding was so much fun! 

it was pouring rain right before i arrived but we were so lucky to have perfect weather for the rest of the night. this day was full of gorgeous DIY details - like the chalkboard signs, tree slices for ceremony and centerpieces, and the arbor they were married underneath. the s'mores favors were a perfect way to take a break from dancing and enjoy the beautiful views!

huge congratulations to Jessica and Joe and their families. i am so happy to be have been a part of your wedding!
