Engagement

Dahna and Neil
A St. Johns Bridge Engagement

Dahna,  Neil and I, and their awesome pup Penelope, met up at Cathedral Park; beneath the St. John’s bridge recently. We had a blast finding sun soaked trees and a cool random and huge pile of vinyl just sitting on a picnic table. The talented Kirstie Wight did Dahna’s pretty makeup. This loving and kind couple are down to earth, really fun and absolutely adorably in love. I can’t wait for their wedding this August at Bridal Veil Lakes!

Erin and Dylan
Portland Kenton and Overlook Engagements

Words like whimsical, fun, adventurous and compassionate come to mind when thinking about Erin and Dylan (and their rad dog Easy E!) Their incredible kindness, silliness and impecable style shine through in these fun images from their recent engagement session all around North Portland. We photographed a roof in NE industrial, a vintage Victorian in Overlook, the famous Paul Bunyan statue in Kenton and ended the evening with dinner and drinks at Kennedy School, which is where Erin and Dylan shared their first kiss together over 5 years ago! I had the amazing opportunity to share and witness a wedding with Erin and Dylan back in 2011 when Kirstie and Jason were married in their SE Portland home. Sharing that experience was bonding and I’ll never forget that first day I spent with this amazing couple. Actually, Kirstie with Kirstie Wight Makeup Artist created Erin’s soft and natural makeup and hair. Their upcoming “adventure” theme wedding in the Gorge this July is going to be a total blast and I can’t wait to be there. Big love!

Becky and Scott
Portland Lifestyle Engagements

#eyelashkissBecky and Scott invited me to their Portland home for their engagement session recently and I had no idea what I was in for! A stunning home, incredible gardens, cute kitties, flowers, berries and a greenhouse! Becky and Scott are SO inspiring, kind and compassionate and have planted their incredible garden by hand and with love. It makes perfect sense that their wedding take place later this month at the gorgeous Leach Botanical Gardens. I’m so happy to be documenting their big day!

Jillian and Greg
Portland Cathedral Park Engagements


#eyelashkiss

Jillian and Greg are a rad couple who I had the pleasure of photographing recently at Cathedral Park. When emailing with Jillian about a location for the engagements, she said this about the place: “We’ve decided on Cathedral Park. Not only do we drive by it every time we come over to one of our favorite breweries, we think it is a great balance between the outdoors (of which we love) and great architecture.” I couldn’t have said it better and love that we finished the photo shoot at their favorite brewery, Portland Brewing Company, in NW Industrial, where we also took some fun pics. I had a blast with them and can’t wait for their downtown Portland wedding this September!
