Champoeg State Park Engagement Photographs

I had a complete blast with Brooke and Tom, it was a laugh storm with really nice weather.  We shot at Champoeg State Park on a perfect August evening.   Brooke's grandpa used to bring her grandma to Champoeg on picnics, so it was both a beautiful and really meaningful location.  Huge thanks to Tom's sister who joined us to help take care of their dog and brought lots of laughs.  I'm so looking forward to shooting Brooke and Tom's wedding this next year!

Willamette Valley Engagement Photographs

I could spend all day chatting with these two, I so enjoyed their company, talking with them and getting to know them both.  We wandered around down by the river in Dundee, tromped through a Hazlenut Orchard (which I thought was ok to tromp through but we were informed right at the end, by the owner that it is not :)) and walked through a beautiful field of wild flowers.  I had a great time with them and am so excited about shooting their wedding this next year.

Ann & Tristan | Newberg Engagement Photographs

The awesome thing about Ann and Tristan is that after I had already booked their session, I realized that I knew Tristan as well as Ann's brother. I knew the session would be fun. We ran from rain, we hid out in the The Newberg Music Center and they graciously let us take photos inside their store (which was perfect because Tristan is a musician), we also hid out in the sketchiest laundromat I've ever been in (mostly sketchy because there were people sleeping in it that kept intensely saying things like "why would you take photos in front of a dryer, why don't you have them come sit on my lap if you want an ugly background?" Whoa?! Thankfully, Ann and Tristan were great sports and they did a beautiful job interacting and having fun together. Courtney Rogers did a beautiful job on Ann's makeup and joined us for the shoot.

Tristan, so great seeing you again and Ann so great meeting you! Thanks for having me take your engagement photos and congratulations on being engaged!
