Emilie and Rob’s Engagement Session – A Love Story in SE PDX
Meet Emilie and Rob. They are an adorable couple who are madly in love with one another and, on June 24th 2010, they will be married. For their engagement session, Emilie and Rob chose to do something that I think is wonderfully creative and fun: a photo story of their courtship. Emilie and Rob’s love story takes place almost entirely in SE Portland, Oregon. In fact, their first date, their first kiss, their first apartment, even the spot where they were engaged are all within just a few blocks of one another! We spent a sunny afternoon, hanging out in SE Portland, taking photos and chatting, right where they fell in love. I could tell you all about it, but you should really check out the photos:) Congratulations Emilie and Rob! Lincoln and I enjoyed getting to know you two and we’re looking forward to photographing your wedding.
Janet and Charles’ Engagement Session at Union Station and Around
Looking back through this next set of engagement photographs makes me feel happy, warm and cozy; a perfect way to feel on such chilly day as today! Lincoln and I did Janet and Charles’ engagement session the day after Thanksgiving and had yet another beautiful, sunny, crisp, autumn day to frolic around Portland. This adorable couple loves to travel and so we decided to start their session at the train station in downtown Portland, Oregon. Afterward, we walked over to the North Park blocks and took advantage of the gorgeous fall foliage. Janet and Charles are so incredibly sweet together and were really good at making one another laugh, smile, giggle; it was wonderful way to wrap up a lovely November day. Janet and Charles, we had a great time with you two and we’re looking forward to photographing your wedding!

Barrie and Doug’s Engagement Session in the Pearl
I love love love this engagement session with Barrie and Doug! Last Tuesday, I met this adorable couple at Tanner Springs Park in downtown Portland, Oregon. We had the perfect autumn evening to play in the Pearl and that’s just what we did. Their session included visit to Sammy’s Flower Shop, Cupcake Jones, Bonnet (a hat shop), just to name a few. After spending just an hour or so with Barrie and Doug, I could tell that they have fun together no matter where they go. It’s probably one the reasons that they’re getting married next summer! Barrie and Doug, thank you for the extremely fun evening. I wish you two continued happiness, laughter and good times.

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!

Danielle and Kevin’s Engagement Session Downtown and Around
Danielle and Kevin had a great idea for their engagement session – why not join them on a date? Since it’s always our objective to get photos of couples looking like their fabulous selves during their engagement session, I thought this would be a fantastic way to capture two people in love doing something they enjoy together. Plus, what a great way to get to know a really wonderful couple! We met Danielle and Kevin near their home in the South Waterfront and took the street car up to the park blocks for a few photos there. We then headed down to the Portland Art Museum for more photos, laughing and chatting. We even wandered downtown for a bit but our ultimate destination was the Ace Hotel, where Danielle and Kevin got engaged. We ended the evening joining this adorable couple for a drink at Clyde Common. It was such a fun night and a great photo session. Danielle and Kevin, we had a blast with you two! We’re looking forward to August 9th.

Jill and Alec’s Engagement Photo Session in Washington Park
After spending a beautiful Sunday afternoon with Jill and Alec at Washington Park, in Portland Oregon, it was evident that these two a) adore each other and b) love to laugh. They especially like to make each other laugh. As their photographer, I must say that their love of laughter made taking their engagement photographs very easy:) During our session, Jill mentioned how much she loves black and white photography, so I decided to post only black and white images on the blog, for a change. Normally my preference is for color photography, but I really love these images in black and white – good call Jill! Thank you both for the fun afternoon. We’re looking forward to photographing your wedding on August 22nd!

Alanna and Robby’s Engagement Portrait Session
Alanna and Robby are getting married on August 8th of this year and, on Mother’s Day, I had the opportunity to take their engagement portraits in the Pearl. One of the reasons that I enjoy engagement sessions so much is that it gives me a chance to get to know the couple before their wedding day. Alanna, Robby, Lincoln and I had such a good time together at their session, we ended up going out to dinner afterward! Thank you for the lovely evening, Alanna and Robby. Lincoln and I are looking forward to photographing your big day!
