Columbia River Gorge Engagement Photos

Funks Island Engagement Photographs | Jack + JordAn

I shot all day at Funk’s island in the Columbia River Gorge, but I have to say, these last two hours that I spent with Jack and Jordan were breathtaking. The light was so incredible, and as always, Funk’s Island was amazing. I love the textures on the island, the backdrop of the canyon walls, the rocks, the browns, oranges, greens, yellows and blues.

This was my first time meeting Jordan and Jack in person, their connection was apparent immediately, and you can see it in these photos. My shoots are really more about creating a safe space for people to be themselves, to show their relationship as it is, more than anything else. Going through these photos I think Jordan and Jack were able to do just that, I hope those of you who know and love them feel the same way.

I’m so excited to be working with these two for their wedding at The Reserve Vineyard and Golf Club, they’re sincere, kind and so fun to be around, Here’s the photos…

Horsetail Falls Engagement Photographs | Jami + Cass

This shoot was so inspiring for me.  I LOVE The Gorge, waterfalls, hiking and just generally being outside.  So I was stoked that Jami and Cass were up for hiking the Horsetail Falls trail for their engagement photos.  They love hiking too and are a really fun and adventurous couple.  When we started out the weather looked amazing, I was prepared for rain and thought we had lucked out.  After we hiked up to Ponytail Falls, the rain moved in pretty fast (see the photos of the clouds/fog in the gorge below).  We made it back to our cars, sufficiently soaked, and stoked about the photos.  I hope to get out on more adventures like this for my shoots, and thank you Jami and Cass for hanging out and doing this hike with me.
