Kelsey & Travis : Engaged!

I'm a bit behind on blogging (surprise, surprise!) but I wanted to make sure this session made it to the blog. I have been so blessed to work with some of the sweetest and most amazing couples, and Kelsey & Travis definitely do not disappoint. They started out as friends and are so incredibly sweet together. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in August.

Jenny & Keith : Engaged

They first met at the hospital. She was doing a rotation and he was finishing up his residency. The attraction was mutual and before long, the after-work group dates turned into after-work romantic dates.

Yesterday, Jenny & Keith met me at Sellwood Riverside Park for their engagement session and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. From the beginning, one can see that they have a love that is built on friendship, adoration and respect. They are two of the kindest people and I am honored to be photographing their wedding in July.

Neil & Michelle : Engaged

I'll be honest, I never thought I'd see the day...

Don't get me wrong, I adore Neil - he's like a brother to me. I've literally known him half my life. I just never really saw him as the settling down type. And, if I'm still being honest, maybe part of me never thought he'd meet that special someone that could settle down with him.

Neil is intelligent and practical. He's hardworking and stubborn. Always honest (even when you don't want him to be). He's very opinionated and a loyal friend.

Neil first introduced me to Michelle almost two years ago and we just clicked. Like, instantly. Since then, we've developed a very close friendship and I love her like a sister. She's made me laugh and has seen me cry.

Michelle is genuine. She's outgoing and kind. She knows who she is and isn't afraid to be herself. She is accepting and loving. Always honest and a perfect match for my friend.

I am so thankful that Neil & Michelle found each other - because they work so well together, of course - but also because I now have two friendships where I used to have one.

Lydia & Alex - Engaged

This is quite possibly my favorite engagement session yet.
The couple - adorable.
The location - beautiful.
The weather - perfect.
Lydia & Alex were so much fun! Seriously. Down for anything. Totally in love. Wonderfully adorable. They were a dream to photograph. I was already looking forward to their upcoming wedding in June, but now I am more excited than ever.
I'm going to post way too many pictures (again) but I just loved this session!
Lydia & Alex, thank you so much for a wonderful, fun morning!
