Cathedral Park Engagement Session

Moving right along! :)

Here is one more sneak peek for you... and it's super cute!

Courtney and Doug met up with us just last week for their engagement session and BAM! They also married last week! We hadn't met before last week (except for great conversations via email, of course) because they live on the other coast ;)

We had a blast getting to know them and walking around Cathedral Park in North Portland... it's where he proposed to her, so it was only natural for them to select this location for their engagement session. The sun was about to set and the temperature was just perfect. Courtney's dress was so cute on her and the light breeze was moving it around perfectly to make the photos even more fun.

Here is a sneak peek of their engagement session, with their actual wedding day sneak peek coming up in a little bit!

Oneonta Gorge Engagement Session + Doggie!

Thanks so much for your patience with us, friends! We've been photographing and editing non-stop and have had to stay away from blogging for a bit... but we're back! And boy do we have a bunch of images to show you! :)

Here are Sarah & Ian! They and their doggie were so fun to hang with and photograph... not just that, their first choice for a location for their engagement session was the amazing Oneonta Gorge, in the Columbia Gorge! It's one of my favorite places to hike and explore, so when they thought to go there for their own shoot, I couldn't agree more!

We had a bit of time in heels and a pretty dress, at the old tunnel and along a bit of the trail, then they changed clothes and we headed into the gorge itself. Amazing place! A big log jam is the first obstacle we had to climb over in order to make it through to the actual gorge. So fun!

Sarah & Ian will be married later on this year on Sauvie Island. We are SO excited to see them get marrie and be surrounded by friends and family (some of which we personally know from past wedding shoots! YAY!).

Here are a handful of the images.

Portland Waterfront Engagement Session + Doggie!

Once again, we had a doggie participate in an engagement session. We're in heaven! ;) Meet Merril & Teddy and their pup, Hachiko. Their wedding is coming up in two weeks (wow!) and thankfully, we were able to find some time in our and their schedules, for a quick session. They live on the waterfront so we decided to meet there and wonder around the grounds and bridges. Hachiko was a trooper! When it came time to drop him off at home, I even had him play with his favorite toy: the ball ;)

Merrill & Teddy will marry at Youngberg Hill Vineyard.

They are a Luxe Event Productions couple.

Karyn with Black Label Films will be there to make a movie out of their day.

My goodness... this will be a GREAT wedding!

A Summery, Portland Engagement Session with Luca-dog too!

I have already posted one of the below images in a Portland Wedding Photography blog today. I couldn't resist! I just had to share at least one image from this fun engagement session. What I wrote in that other blog, is simple, really: Doggies are family too!

Azanet & Scott brought their doggie Luca along on the first half of their session. We loved him! He was a blast to photograph, super goofy but with deep and intelligent eyes. He looks like he could be our own Ruby's brother ;)

Together, the three of them were a blast to photograph. We had a great time! We shared laughs, and stories and really got to know each other more. Their wedding at the beautiful Gorge Crest Vineyards in August, cannot come soon enough!

In honor of the love for our four-legged babies, I bring you this sneak peek! <3

OH! ps: we drove to the Portland Oregon sign on Burnside too! We even found breaks in the traffic to be able to stand in the middle of the road... whew! AND the very last image is one I took for fun of all of us while on the shoot! I love our couples ;)
