Newport Oregon Destination Wedding of Courtney & Doug!

Courtney & Doug = LOVE! These two are adorable, total hams in front of the camera, and excited about life, music and each other!

We photographed their engagement session only a few days before their wedding (they live on the East Coast) but we totally hit it off immediately. We knew that their wedding in Newport Oregon would have been fun and memorable... sure enough, it was!

Below is a sneak peek of their wedding images (their engagement session photograph from Cathedral Park are here) with lots of dancing and pretty aqua-blue details. Her dress was so simple yet so elegant... perfect for a beach wedding celebration!

Engagement Session on beautiful private property near Mt Hood

A couple of weeks ago, we travelled to Tara & Bear's home, in the Mt Hood forest. Little did we know that their acreage and home were going to be as beautiful as many Mt Hood area wedding venues! We spent the afternoon and evening with them, photographing them in different attires while exploring their property, inside and out. It was a blast and we really hit it off, which is so great since their wedding is coming right up this month!

They will marry in the Sandy area, surrounded by friends and family, coordinated and planned by the fabulous Jessica of Bash! Events NW and enveloped in a BEAUTIFUL Vera Wang dress... We are so excited for this!

Here is a super quick sneak peek of their engagement session.

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.
