Becky 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!

Cara and Steven share laughs, love and kindness and live in the darling St. John’s neighborhood. We started our engagement session at Cathedral Park, at the base of the St. John’s bridge and ended up at the waterfront with the stunning cherry blossoms. We had a blast in some of Portland’s not to be missed spots, and I can’t wait for their wedding next month at Hotel Deluxe!

Brianne and John are a fun and gorgeous couple full of love, energy and good times! We met up recently for a perfectly Pearl district engagement shoot around a few local landmarks in the Pearl. The bridges, the waterfront, Tanner Springs Park and Via Delizia in the Pearl for some yummy hot coco’s. Love it and can’t wait to photograph their July wine country wedding!
Drumroll please! Top 12 from 2012 is here! Although every wedding I photographed in 2012 was the best, I’ve hand selected 12 of my personal faves from both the 2012 wedding and engagement season. I chose these for their composition, light, moment captured, and uniqueness. I’ve absolutely loved working with each and every one of you. Thank you SO much for sharing your life and love with me and for making 2012 so outstanding. I’m so honored for the opportunity to document such lovely moments for you, your families and your future families. xo jh
