Engagement Session: Ken and Jenni

So excited to post these shots from Ken and Jenni's engagement shoot! This was actually our SECOND attempt, since last time we found ourselves nearly blown away- literally- by a mountain-top wind storm! This time, we chose a safer location that would offer us coverage in case of rain and wind! Luckily, we face neither and the colorful, busy backdrop of Multnomah made a gorgeous backdrop for their photos.

Engagement shoot with Christine and Jesse

I was really excited to get a location suggestion from Christine for her and Jesse's engagement shoot. It's always fun for me to play around with new locations, textures and backgrounds.

What makes this location particularly special for Christine and Jesse are the memories; U of P is where Christine and Jesse met and fell in love. This is where they spent many hours living life, getting to know one another and moving forward as a couple.

It's fitting that we should take their pictures at the same place they will also be getting married! Just imagine, the next time I snap their photos will be the day they pledge their lives to one another... wooo whooo! Very exciting ( :

Couple: Liz and Dan

Liz and Dan were an exciting couple to shoot, because they are recent residents of Portland and were SO excited to be in the city. The mix of rural and urban in the backdrop gives a good sense of their history and their life journey together. Sound too mystical to you? Well, let's just say that as creatives themselves (she owns her own baking business and he's a designer) they chose some awesome cityscapes for their shoot!

Welcome to Portland Liz and Dan!
