Sometimes in order to get the best photographs you have to work for it, and that’s what this couple did during their engagement session at the breathtaking White River Falls in Madras, OR.

Galina and Max joined me in hiking all the way up to this gorgeous waterfall and Galina even trailblazed it through the rocky terrain all while wearing her heels! We had a blast playing in the cold water and laughing and talking all about their love of corgis. Galina’s adorable backless light blue dress and black strappy maxi dress made for some incredibly picturesque photographs.

Beyond being incredibly photogenic, Galina and Max are the most vibrant and smiley couple ever, and with hearts of gold! They went out of their way to make me feel comforted and loved after learning that my kitten had recently been put down. At our shoot they brought me a framed picture in special memory of my kitty; because that’s the kind of amazing people they are! I could not have asked for a better couple to do this shoot with and I cannot wait to be able to be a part of capturing their wedding next year!

Tatiana and Nate - Colorful Carnival Engagement Session - Portland, Oregon

Getting to have a session at a carnival in downtown Portland was a dream for me. The colors, the lights, and the energy of the whole evening was perfect! It was right down my alley of what I want in a shoot.

Tatiana showed up in a show-stopping two piece gown from Nordstrom and Nate was in a topshop blazer complete with a hat he custom made himself. They lit up the place with their bright and fun personalities as well as the love that is very evident between them.

The night was spent meandering the carnival, viewing the beautiful romantic cityscape from the high top of the ferris wheel, and having a blast on the big swing.

It was a magical shoot, Tatiana truly looked like a princess, so much so that one cute little girl thought she was Ariel.

I could not have asked for a better night and session with these two lovebirds. The images truly got to capture the whole night and share the magic!
