Engagement

Lisa & Geoff
A Snowy Wilderness Enagement

Lisa and Geoff and I met up on a snowy January day deep into the Mt. Hood Wilderness for their snowy wilderness engagement session. Loved learning their love story about how an older neighbor in their condo introduced them at a mingle event for the building. SO very meet cute! We laughed while almost falling on our faces every few minutes (it was slippery!) and had a blast photographing in the snow. The day was chilly and crisp but not too cold and just right for a snowy evening in the woods. The pine trees were heavy with snow and made a wonderful photography backdrop to Lisa and Geoff’s love story. Absolutely loved the Pendelton blanket they brought to keep warm with along with the Argyle bubbles to pop in celebration! We hopped in the back of their truck so we could get some fun sitting pics and not get too freezing sitting in snow! Such a perfect Mt. Hood Oregon engagement session. So happy for these two amazing people and their upcoming wedding this summer. Congrats Lisa & Geoff!

Kristina and Scott
A Silcox Hut Wedding at Timberline Lodge

I had the pleasure of first meeting Kristina and Scott at their Oregon coast engagement session and now am honored to have been a part of their majestic day at their unique Silcox Hut wedding. Built in 1939, Silcox Hut was originally used as a warming hut but has now transformed into the ultimate mountain bed and breakfast. Sitting atop Mt. Hood at a staggering 7,000 ft and approximately 1,000 ft above Timberline Lodge, we had to take either snowcats or 4-wheel ATV’s up to the quaint hut. Being that Kristina and Scott are an adventurous and nature-oriented couple & I couldn’t have imagined a more fitting venue for their intimate wedding. Kristina looked absolutely stunning walking down the aisle makeup by the talented Olivia Hawthorne and hair by Pin It Pretty. I especially loved seeing Kristina’s son, Aiden, walk her up the stairs of the hut to the aisle. Surrounded by Silcox’s incredible wooden architecture, Kristina and Scott exchanged vows to one another in front of their family and close friends. I love that they incorporated a tree-planting ceremony of an evergreen, which they will later re-plant in their yard. At over a mile above the ground, we were above the clouds and were able to create some incredible sunset photos. Silcox is truly a magical place and I am so happy to have been entrusted with capturing the undeniable love Kristina and Scott share. Wishing many years of love and happiness to this kind & wonderful couple!

Jaimee & Steve Timberline Lodge Wedding

Jaimee and Steve are a super creative and fun couple who love nature and art. They actually made each others wedding rings in a foundry!

The amazing Austie Eckley on makeup. Love her!

Some fun with the guys getting ready.

The yummy mimosas to start the day!

Love love loved Jordan at Blum Design in Flowers bouquets and earthy elements that surrounded the amazing mountain resort.

An epic moment of Jaimee and her dad walking down the mountain to meet her future husband. Steve’s face is priceless and the entire scene was unforgettably beautiful.

Both families gathering during the ceremony.

Love this pic of the new bride and groom and their cute pup Zoe! The talented Travis, with Shields Films was documenting with HD video and plenty of 8mm.

Timberline Lodge is a breathtaking location and the perfect spot for a wedding!

The veil was dancing in the mountain breeze, which made for some cute pics of J&S.

Love the color palette and the turquoise jewelry.

The Bad Mitten Orchestre played and kept the dancing and hollerin’ going on all night! This band seriously rocks.

There were even fire dancers from Flamebuoyant Productions who came to perform an artistic and magical fire show with acrobatics with Mt. Hood in the background. (Did I mention that this wedding was off the charts awesome!?)

The coolest photobooth- The Original Photobooth kept the laughs up all night and I even snuck a few pics of the couple behind the curtain. Love these tender moments.

Jaimee and Steve… What can I say!? Their celebration of love under the stars, beneath Mt. Hood was nothing less of incredible. Jaimee and Steve are a very compassionate and artistic couple with lots of love. Erica and I were thrilled to document their amazing wedding in July with perfect weather, gorgeous flowers, a great band, fun friends, all night dancing, fire acrobats, a vintage-style photo booth and endless amounts of love. SO happy to have documented such an inspiring event! Hope you love the sneak peek J&S! xoxo
