Katie & Jim are awesome… It is just that simple. They are fun, silly, & loving. They have great taste in beer, and they do not take them selves too seriously. They are my kind of people for sure. To say I am excited about their wedding is an understatement. For the engagement session we meet up at one of my favorites pubs in Portland, Bridgeport Brewery, and had a pint. From there we walked around the neighborhood and then hit a couple other lovely downtown spots. We had a great time laughing, telling bad jokes and laughing some more.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session:

Katie & Jim I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. Your gallery is almost done. I am so excited to shoot your wedding here in just a few weeks time. I know it will be amazing!

As you know if you have read my blog before I love me some blog post challenges. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little post I will throw in an 11×14 on the house for you. So leave some love people!

When Ellie first contacted me about setting up a session for her, her husband and pups I was excited but not sure how we were going to pull off a winter session outdoors in Oregon with out ending up with muddy dogs & people. We did our best to schedule, and each time either snow or crazy ice storms it. The end result is that we waited until spring and lucked into a stunning warm day. We headed out the the beautiful Champoeg State park, (the site of their wedding 8 years ago) and had a great time playing with cute dogs and taking some fun images.

Here are a few of my favorites so far…

Ellie & Derrick thanks again for making the trek out. I am SO glad we waited until spring. I had a great time chatting with you guys, and meeting your darling doggies. I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! I will have the whole set for you shortly. 🙂

When I first started chatting with Christine about wedding photography I knew we would get along. She is sweet, kind and so full of joy. Her smile is infectious. I was excited to meet her, and the super sweet fiance she had told me about. When I discovered they were George Fox students it made it all the more fun. We got to chat about our favorite haunts here in Newberg, the beautiful campus, and falling in love. These two high school sweet hearts were just so lovely to chat with, I was thrilled when they said they wanted to hire me for their wedding.

We also had a great time on the George Fox campus creating some fun engagement photos. Here are a few of my favorites from our session…

Christine & Willy thanks again for being so fun to capture. It was wonderful to get to know you guys. I am so looking forward to capturing your big day for you.
