Matt + Ashley

I swear I get the coolest clients! Today I met with Matt and Ashley in downtown Corvallis for their engagement session. They live in AZ but their wedding is here next summer. They are the funnest couple and we had such a great time! As I was downloading their images I saw this one and decided to blog it, I love this!:



I'll show you more later but I try to blog in chronological order (I have three other sessions to show you first).

Matt and Ashley thanks so much for hiring me to photograph your wedding, I can't wait!!

Carson & Hayley's Engagement Session in Albany, OR

I met with Carson and Hayley earlier this week during one of the gorgeous warm days that we had. It was a perfect evening and we had a great time getting to know each other a bit. They told me they love black and white which I thought was great because that's my favorite too! I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites so I decided to just show all of my favorites!:














Love the silhouette:

















Carson is a dentist in Albany -- check out his website! The first time I met them I said to Carson "Aren't you too young to be a dentist?". I hope he took that as a compliment because that's how I meant it! :) I think young successful entrepreneurs keep the business world fresh and exciting, which is a good thing!

Ash + Shanan: Engagement Portraits in Oregon

Ash & Shanan love nature so of course we had to go somewhere spectacularly beautiful for their engagement photos! I had a great time photographing them at Alsea Falls. Thanks for the fun day and I look forward to your wedding!

Stephen & Whitney: Engagement Session at Multnomah Falls Oregon

Stephen & Whitney flew into Portland on Wednesday for their engagement shoot at Multnomah Falls. That morning it was raining but luckily it cleared up just for us! We had a great time hiking around and getting some fun images!

The must-have shot:











Stephen designed the ring himself:









Can you say fashion models?! They could be!



Some of the images appear to be glowing. That glow is from the spray of the waterfall onto my lens, it's not anything I did in photoshop:











A little different post processing technique for this one:





His eyes really are this blue!



The last shot I took of the evening and I love the light:



I absolutely LOVE engagement sessions! It allows the bride, groom and I to get to know each other in a relaxed and fun environment. Plus, the couple gets awesome pre-marriage images!

Stephen and Whitney picked Oregon to have their destination wedding because they saw some photos of Oregon and thought it was beautiful. How cool is that?! They are getting married in September in Cannon Beach. As you can tell from the pictures they really enjoy each other and are tons of fun! Thanks guys -- I can't wait for your wedding!
