​These two were so much fun to photograph - they are goofy and sweet and love to make fun of each other (in the nicest way possible, of course). Chris & Jayme, I wish you the best of luck with everything!

Carolyn & Kyle {Portland Engagement Photography}

i had the privilege of photographing Carolyn's mother's wedding a couple years ago (check it out here), and was incredibly honored to be asked to be Carolyn's photographer when she got engaged to Kyle! We had a fun walk around Old Town taking their engagement portraits, walked across the Steel Bridge where Kyle proposed, and ended up at the Rose Garden. You miiight be able to tell they are Blazers fans. I can't wait for their wedding this September at Leftbank Annex!

Shaun & Jessica {Portland Engagement Photography}

I've known these two for a long time but hadn't seen either of them since early college. Heard they were engaged through facebook, and then randomly ran into them at a bar a few months ago when they moved to Portland from St. Louis. ​To be asked to shoot their engagement session was an absolute privilege and a joy. They are so sweet and so comfortable with each other - photographing that kind of love is so much fun.

​Shaun and Jessica had two concepts for their engagement session: on the one hand, an urban "Portland-y" vibe​; on the other, a nod to their Mardi Gras-masquerade-themed wedding. We met up early to catch the early morning sunshine - worth it. Oh, and no big deal, Jessica had strawberries, bagels & cream cheese, and orange juice waiting when I arrived (yum).

I'm so happy for both of you - and so happy you live in Portland now!

my friend katy and i took advantage of the magnificent sunshine last weekend and drove up to the gorge with two awesome couples. the day was relaxed and fun and silly and beautiful, the perfect saturday adventure - especially in the midst of our rainy winter. check out katy's images from the day here, and mine below. i love how two photographers can go to the same places, with the same models, and come out with images that are completely different from each other. thanks for sharing this day with me, katy!! :)

Michael & Elise {Portland Engagement Photography}

Michael and I go way back - we were great friends the last couple years of high school. Then he was in Utah, and we lost touch for a bit, but still saw each other every so often. And I was SO excited when he called me to tell me he was getting married and even more excited to hear that he wanted me to shoot the wedding! I got to meet his fianceé, Elise, when we met for coffee to discuss their wedding, and of course she is amazing. And they are a ridiculously cute couple, as you will see. Can't wait for their wedding in July!

Megan & Tony {Portland Engagement Photography}

Megan and Tony are high school sweethearts and good friends of mine from college. Megan is also a frequent model of mine and it was so fun to photograph her with Tony - they are so good looking, and one of those couples that you can just tell belong together. We spent an evening in their neighborhood (NW Portland) for their engagement portraits. I am unbelievably excited for their wedding next April!
