I booked Katie & Charlie’s fall wedding when I was off the grid on maternity leave. Not up for a in person meeting yet (Katie I think you contacted me literally the day I gave birth) they signed a contract, wrote a check and sent it in the mail. Not usually how I book a couple, but I loved the confidence they had that we would work well together. Well after a few months a few tweets & few emails later we set up their engagement session. Again Katie was super trusting with my ideas and location choices, I was getting super excited to work with them. So when the night came to actually meet Katie & Charlie it felt a little like a blind date. I was actually nervous, but man I had no reason! Katie & Charlie are two of the nicest, cutest, more lovely people I have ever had the chance to point my camera at. They were up for anything, and completely adorable together, it just does not get any better.
Here are a few from our session:
Katie wanted rustic, I had been dying to shoot this old barn for a while now so I convinced them to come out to rural Newberg. Rad right!
did I mention they are adorable?
yeah yeah private property, would you kick these two adorable love birds off?
and then we hit the magic light spot. 
they. are. so. cute. 
Katie really hooked up the vintage feel with her killer accessories. Loved it! 
She also brought her (film gasp!) camera, so we had to use it as a prop. 
we also found this great run down fence at a local farm. I tell ya if you want rural, come to my neck of the woods. 🙂
and another magic light spot at sunset, how great are these two.
Katie & Charlie thanks for trekking all the way out to Newberg and being up for my crazy ideas and tromping through the countryside! I just loved meeting you two, I can not tell you how stoked I am for your wedding! And of course as new clients I would love to hook up the blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this little post I will have a 11×14 wall print for you on the house! Leave some kind words people. 🙂

You kids look terrific. In fact, these are too perfect… where’s the outtake reel?
These are beautiful pictures of the 2 of you. Love the black and whites, what great keepsakes to have.
Beautiful photos. Love the B & W’s. Sweet couple.
Thrilled for you Katie. These shots have captured these precious moments for both of beautifully.
You two are so cute together! And I love the rural setting!
Katie and Charlie, I love you guys (another mom chiming in here) and I love these photos. You look so happy and relaxed and in love. Emily, you are doing wonderful work and it will add even more happiness to the upcoming wedding.
Great pictures! You can truly see the happiness and love. Great setting and light too.
These are extraordinary and full of personality.
You guys are naughty
These are some wonderful photos of two of my favorite people! I can’t wait for the wedding. Katie and Charlie, you guys have made moving to Portland and being far away from friends and family easier. Now I just have to convince Ben that we need Emily to do a family portrait session!
WOW!!! These are fantastic! I love barn! And the outdoors! You are so pretty! Love ya!
Pretty fantastic. Weird to see Charlie in a setting that looks so similar to my native Missouri.
Amazing photos!!! My baby sister is a beautiful woman. Damn Charlie you are a photogenic bastard!!!
Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these photos! Wishing Emily lived in Upstate NY right about now. The photos of you (Katie) with the camera in your hands are my favorite. Can’t wait to see pictures of the wedding!!!!

Beautiful photographs of a beautiful couple! And BTW did you do a little trespassing?
I LOVE these two people and your adorable photos (I’m Charlie’s aunt, Sherrie’s sister). They truly are the cutest couple and your photos capture their sweet, innocent love for one another.
You guys are so stinking cute! LOVE these! =)
I love these country pictures! I especially love red barns..always been one of my favorite scenes. A perfect place for two lovebirds to make out while getting pictures taken! I don’t think they look innocent at all.
And I always thought of you two as being law abiding citizens! Love the photos… especially the last one! Congrats, you two! Can’t wait ’til the big day.
