Tiana and Philip’s Engagement Session in Washington Park

I can’t think of a better setting for engagement photos that are both romantic and playful than Washington Park in Portland, Oregon. When Tiana and Philip chose this location for their summer engagement session on August 7th, I knew we were going to have a lot of fun. We started their session in the International Rose Test Garden, which was still in full bloom and made a perfectly colorful backdrop. We then headed to the lower entrance of the Japanese Gardens and then off to the playground to finish their session on the swing set. Tiana’s parents and their puppy joined us that evening and I even had a chance to snap a few photos of these important family members:) I love engagement sessions! Tiana and Philip, thank you for the fun evening. Lincoln and I look forward to documenting your wedding on September 12th!

These are great pictures!!!! You both seem very calm, and collected. We are looking foward to heading west for the BIG DAY. Now you can breath a little easier and enjoy the perfect wedding you had always dreamed of. (That goes for both of you)…. Let mom and dad sweat out the rest of it. I’m enjoying watching Steve squirm at the thoughts of his little girl getting married. See you soon, Uncle MO, & DEE (North Carolina)
