Real engagement session (Amy & Danielle's) featured on So You're EnGAYged!

Once again, we've been featured! This time, Amy & Danielle's engagement session takes the honors. They are to be married in front of around 200 friends and family members, in Portland, in October. We have a part 2 engagement session planned for later this summer, which we can't wait for and the theme of which is a surprise to them ;)

What was featured on So You're EnGAYged was a Sunday afternoon shoot through the Pearl District, at Powell's books and on the streets of the beautiful portland neighborhood. The rains caught up with us after about an hour and a half, so we ended the session indoors, at Pearl Bakery, with a bloody mary and some laughs. To see our own blog post of that day, click here.

We are honored to have been chosen as Amy and Danielle's wedding photographers and can't wait for their wedding!

Below, is a screen shot of the featured article with our photos as well as Amy's own words describing how the two of them met and how the fell in love and what their plans are for the future. These inspiring love stories and couples as genuinely happy as they are, are some of the aspects of our profession and keeps us going, wanting to meet new people, working on perfecting our art, and being a part of so many people's special day. Plus, the recognition we get from wonderfully influential and useful blogs such as So You're EnGAYged, truly makes our day.

Thank you all! <3

WHEW! We have so many fun and loving photos of Amy and Danielle, it't not even funny! ;) Starting off the photoshoot inside of a portland iconic place called Powells City of Books was Amy's idea and we JUMPED on it when she suggested it! The rows of books, the tall ceilings and the dim, warm light all around us, made for a great place to shoot. We had a blast in there! It was a Sunday, however, so we decided to quickly get out before disturbing the natural flow of regular visitors... then, we stepped outside into The Pearl. 

Walking around the neighborhood, stopping whenever we saw something that inspired us, sharing stories along the way... was truly priceless. Unfortunately, it started raining pretty heavily, so we decided to stop by the Pearl Bakery for a latte and a bloddy mary. Yep! It was awesome! We kept taking a few photos here and there, but mainly, we chit-chatted even more. 

These two are inspiring, fun, in love with each other and super excited about their wedding day, which we understood to be suuuuper DIY, since Amy is the queen of crafts! We are SO excited to see them unite in front of 175 people, this coming October at the West End Theater. We are equally as excited to meet up with them again for a part-2-engagement-session SOON, when the weather gets more dry and much warmer. We have a little surprise in store for them and can't wait to reveal it! For now, here are a handful of their In The City engagement shoot. <3

Amy & Danielle. A Portland love story.

This is just a quick little sneak peek! Many more images from their fun engagement session shoot coming later on today :) We decided to meet up at Powell's Books here in Portland and then to walk around the Pearl District, all the way to the bright red and beautiful Broadway Bridge. Well... rain stopped us in our tracks as we were inching our way to the top of the bridge. So close! So we ended up having a Bloody Mary and a cappuccino at the Pearl Bakery before calling it a day. Awesome! hehe :)

More details and more images coming soon!
