Engagement Session: Ken and Jenni | Portland Engagement Photos

So excited to post these shots from Ken and Jenni’s 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.

Makeup and Hair: Bethany Winstead

Jessica and Evan | Portland Engagement Photography

This Portland engagement photography shoot with Jessica and Evan almost didn’t happen! Between both of them living on the east coast, and Evan’s demanding job, they weren’t sure they’d be able to make it happen this summer. And then I would have missed out on meeting them in person till their wedding!

I’m so glad we made it happen though! Jessica impressed me at our first meeting with her polished style and then really wowed me when she busted out some killer heels at the shoot. I mean, yes, I am one to wear heels to the grocery store, but most hipsters glare at me as I pick out my organic vegies a proud 4 inches taller.

Jessica and Evan were so funny and adorable. I felt like I was shooting stills for a love montage in a Romantic Comedy. They just kind of quietly cuddled and murmered to one another as I snapped away. Of course, I couldn’t help but to butt in and exclaim how adorable they were, at which point they would both sort of blush and giggle. Well, Evan is a guy, so he doesn’t giggle. I guess he would have laughed. But anyhow, it was easy peasy to capture these two in candid moments. I have to say, I am definitely looking forward to shooting their wedding next year!

Oh and I couldn’t help but post a shot of those amazing heels!

Kacy and Paul | Portland Engagement Photos

Talk about a whirlwind romance! Kacy and Paul met less than a year ago through a roommate and after trying the friend thing via email, they soon realized their compatibility and chemistry. Paul knew that Kacy was the one for him right away and popped the questions just a few months into their relationship. With the wedding just a couple months away, they’re entire romance, when married will have been just under a year old!

Kacy and Paul were like two little lovebirds, so appropriately taking pictures in the forest. With everything still so fresh and new between the two, I could practically see the sparks flying between them as they snuggled, whispered and laughed throughout our shoot.
