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.

I can’t believe I haven’t posted photos of our photo books yet! These rad books make great wedding albums at 12×12 inches of beautiful design space per page. I print them as small as 7×7 for seniors, engagement, and baby books as well. For those staying under 150 pages, we print them on premium photo paper, which means thicker, more resilient stock for your photos.

Here is a sample from a recent wedding:

All albums are custom designed to best tell the story of your wedding day, et cetera.

This was one of those perfect weddings, where everything came together perfectly throughout the day, including the weather! I was totally honored to enjoy this day with Shannon and Manuel on Mt. hood. The guest’s shared my thoughts seeing as it was a full on PARTY till they had to close up shop at 10 pm. Here’s a look at their special day:

Couple: Liz and Dan | Portland Engagement Photographer

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!

Portland has got to be one of the best places to get married in the summer. With even our summer’s being overcast, this means FABULOUS light for all!!
On this particular day, our greatest concern was bumping into the Nude Bicyclist’s who were scheduled to ride through the park that afternoon! Luckily, there were not incidents

Here is a look at a beautiful Lauralhurst wedding with bride and groom, Aaron and Sitawan.

Not much can beat Claire La Faye’s beautiful bridesmaids dresses that double as sweet, cupcake inspired summer wear. Check out Sahlia Michelle’s one of a kind bridal jewelry too. This definitely beats the cake!

Portland Engagement Shoot: Manuel and Shannon

Shannon and Manuel are ALL about nature, yet we decided to take them out of their element for their engagement session… mix things up a bit.

I tried to incorporate the greenery that defines Portland and came out with a nice blend of the urban and nature.

Wedding Sneak Peak: Aaron and Sitawan | Portland Wedding Photography

Sitawan and Aaron had a beautiful wedding this last weekend. We took pictures at the Laurelhurst Park, just around the corner from the beautiful Lauralhurst Church, where the ceremony took place.

It was an honor to be a part of their special day. Sitiwan’s family actually made their first trip EVER to America for the wedding. They took part in a Thai traditional tea ceremony, which seemed to set the mood of intimacy.
I’m excited to finish up their photos and create their wedding album.

Congrats Aaron and Sitawan!
