In the realm of photography, there is something truly magical about documenting the journey of love. As a photographer, I have been fortunate enough to witness and capture countless beautiful moments, but there is one particular story that holds a special place in my heart. Today I want to share with you the story of this couple whose engagement session I had the honor of photographing and whose upcoming wedding I eagerly anticipate this fall. Join me as I recount their love story, the joyous moments we captured during their engagement session, and the anticipation of their upcoming nuptials at the Portland LDS Temple.

Yeehaw, friends! I’m so excited to share images from a recent wedding I did that took place at Vanderbeck Valley Farms in Mt. Angel in the early fall, which was obviously the PERFECT location since the newlyweds had a romantic, rustic-inspired wedding! Leanna and Scott thought this thing through from beginning to end, and there wasn’t a shortage of dreamy, Pinterest-worthy moments.

I was so excited to meet up with Tiffani and Jacob at my favorite location, a park in Oregon City for a stunning – terribly sweet, and terribly hot – maternity session. At the time, Tiffani was 32 weeks, so you can only imagine how she was feeling while we were roaming around finding the best spots to shoot! She was out doing me, let me tell you. It was the record breaking heat wave weekend and during our session it was 102* that evening. Crazy hot for the PNW.
