Matthew + Alyssa = love

When Matthew & Alyssa first contacted me they let me know they had already done engagement photos with a photographer friend of mine. Due to her pregnancy timing she was unable to do their wedding. At the meeting we totally hit it off, and I was super excited to do the wedding this fall. As I said before they had already done some beautiful & romantic engagement photos, but as I always say none of my wedding clients get out of the pre-wedding portrait session, so we thought outside the box for our time together. The day of our meeting I had stumbled upon a quirky store down the street from my studio. The Portland Fixture Store really has a little bit of everything, shelving, signage, mannequins of all shapes & sizes, and so much more. I half jokingly brought it up to Mathew  & Alyssa as an option and they totally jumped on it. I LOVE an adventurous couple!  We had so much fun checking out the store and taking fun photos. We also ventured outside in the neighborhood and even down the street to Lippman’s Party Store. Such a fun day!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Mathew & Alyssa thanks again for meeting up with me for photos, and being up for anything. I am really looking forward to your wedding this fall! I know it will be an amazing day! For now I would love to offer you a blog comment special. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post i will throw in an 11×14 wall print on the house. SO leave some love people!
