Laura and Edward make such a fun and gorgeous couple! I loved having coffee with them and learning more about them and their wedding.

I photographed them around their neighboorhood in the Pearl District and finished the shoot at sunset at the beautiful East Bank Esplande.

They are getting married next August and I’m honored to be photographing their first steps together as husband and wife!

Congratulations Laura and Edward!
