"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” - Ashley Smith

Sometimes we have to drive outside the city to see pure beauty and joy. I had the pleasure of shooting a newly engaged couple on the cliff side of the stunning Oregon Gorge. We got to smell the fresh air and feel a crisp breeze that blew through the women’s hair. The lighting shone just right for each moment captured. We were able to go to several locations around the Gorge leaving their imprint with each shutter.

The couple brought their passion, playfulness, and open hearts to the session. I was able to capture the genuine love they shared and showed one another. There were moments of laughter, sweet kisses exchanged, and I was able to make those moments a forever memory for them. This will be something they can look back and experience all over again.

I am honored and eager to capture more beautiful moments at their wedding in October. I am grateful they allowed me into their lives so friends and family can instantly experience their union through a new lens.
