Landon contacted me recently for a surprise engagement shoot for Melissa as a Valentine’s Day gift. He told me the concept of both natural and urban settings in classic Portland locations, like the waterfront, the White Stag building and Mt. Tabor and I was IN! Melissa was surprised and delighted and I had a ton of fun with this stylish couple all over Portland. With Landon being a musician and Melissa being an artist, I was in my element while we created some artistic and non-traditional images to match their creative love. We braved rain, icy temps and high winds and it was all so worth it. Thanks for choosing me L&M for your artistic and inspired engagements. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

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!

Oaks Bottom Engagement Images
Ferris wheel kissing at Oaks Bottom Amusement Park, North Portland library walk, Fremont bridge, cuddling with the pups and kitten on the couch… Needless to say it was an epic engagement shoot! Ted and Tresa are a really fun, down to earth and lovely couple and I can’t wait for their wedding in September. We had a ton of fun and it shows in the pics. Hope you love the sneak peek T&T! Can’t wait until 9.10.11 <3

Will and Sara and I met up recently for their fun, urban engagement session. I love how their contemporary vintage style mixes with the gritty city.
So looking forward to their nature-inspired wedding at Timberline Lodge in August! Thanks S&W for the awesome time! xo
