A SE Portland Engagement Session

Monica and Ian and I met up last week for their fun quintenessential Portland engagements around SE Portland. Coffee + Park + Beer + Love = Fun. Monica and Ian are getting married this Sunday and had just flown in from their hometown of London, England for the pics. The talented Kirstie Wight created the makeup look and we stopped for coffee at Crema, the couple’s favorite coffee shop and then had a beer at a fun English-inspired pub, the Horse Brass. Can’t wait for this weekend to document this couple’s wedding!

Kat and Henry’s wedding rehearsal at the DeSoto Rooftop was such a treat to document. The chic decor, incredible food from Art of Catering, the fabulous band and the memorable toasts made this an unforgettable night. Did I mention this was on a rooftop in downtown Portland? So cool!

Jessica and Jason have been together for over 15 years and had the most beautiful baby girl, Gracen 9, months ago. They are now anticipating their upcoming nuptials at a stunning resort in Idaho, which I’m honored to document in September! We had a lot of fun around N. Mississippi and I love the mix of country and city within these images with the grasses, the truck and the murals.
