A May Day on the Oregon Coast That Felt Like a Gift If you know the Oregon Coast, you know that summer here is not quite what the rest of the country expects. July and August bring wind and marine layer, cool afternoons and often foggy mornings. But May? May sometimes hands you something extraordinary. […]

When April on the Oregon Coast Feels Like Summer There is something quietly magical about the Oregon Coast in April and May that most people never get to experience. While the rest of the country is still shaking off winter, the central coast delivers these golden, warm evenings that feel more like midsummer than spring […]

A Moody Spring Evening on the Oregon Coast Rishab and Sneha’s Cape Kiwanda engagement session was really a classic spring evening on the Oregon Coast. A gloomy spring sky, low tide pulling back to reveal the hidden edges of the cliffs, and a beach that was entirely ours from start to finish. No crowds, no […]

A Moody, Dramatic Oregon Waterfall Engagement Joanne and Austin made the drive down from Washington with one thing in mind — something dramatic, lush, and unmistakably Oregon. As a couple who loves escaping to the Pacific Northwest’s wild spaces, they wanted their engagement session to feel cinematic and alive. Latourell Falls in the Columbia River […]

A Beach Day in Lincoln City, OR Family Photos  Who would have guessed that three years after I photographed their wedding two states away, we’d be doing family photos on the beach in Oregon, where we both live now???

While the western coast might get all of the hype, I’ve got a soft spot for forest engagement photos in Portland, Oregon!

Photographing an Amalfi Coast elopement is what I do now guys. Dreaming up a European destination elopement isn’t difficult, but choosing from a long list of stunning cities gets a little trickier. Kara + Chase wanted a bit of romantic culture, delectable bites, iconic views, and easy-going vibes (I mean, who wouldn’t?!). And you have […]

Eastern Oregon Wedding on the Historic Oregon Trail   History, hometowns, famous hauntings, and a family heirloom came together for Beth + Brent’s eastern Oregon wedding in Baker City. They wanted a simple, heartfelt microwedding surrounded by the people (and places) that mattered most. What did they get? A ghost story or two, real-life Oregon Trail […]

 What if I told you that these engagement photos in Seattle with sunshine and cherry blossoms were originally planned for a time and place where the high temperature for the day was -16 degrees?? HA! It’s true. The unplanned swap in locations for this engagement session was the absolute best decision—all thanks to the enchanted […]
