Country Wedding near Cottage Grove, OR
The groom in these pictures owns a landscaping business so there lots of great touches in the landscape. He’s also really handy and made the wedding altar himself.

I had a wonderful time with this couple, so in love and fun to photograph.
We had two major locations, one was the Cathedral Park under St. Johns Bridge in Portland, OR. The second setting was Salmon Street Springs in downtown Portland, OR.
One of my favorite shots here was the one you see as the featured image on the top of the post. Photographing weddings is always a challenge with changing light, motion, and pivotal moments. But when done right the pictures can be breathtaking, like these.

Photographing Amanda and Cameron’s first glance pictures in Nauvoo, Illinois was such a wonderful experience. Their love is
I loved every detail of Sarai and Ross’s wedding day! Sarai loves pink and vintage so she designed and made her lovely wedding dress with vintage lace and pink tulle. Ross is a videographer working toward his degree in music education, and an aspiring film director. Sarai and Ross requested photojournalistic style wedding portraits with artistic and beautiful detail shots. I absolutely love creating images that merge my style with the requests of the bride and groom!

Maddie and Tanner were so fun to work with. They were so comfortable in front of the camera which I loved! They were laughing, kissing and having fun which allows me to really photograph their personalities. I’m so excited to share their wedding and reception photos! They came to Portland for their engagement and first glance photos, and their beautiful wedding was at the Portland Oregon Temple, followed by a garden themed reception in Richland Washington. The light during their first dance as husband and wife was so glowy and beautiful! I loved every detail of their special day! Their beautiful cake was selected by Maddie and created by The Beehive House Confectionery.

Holly & Dave’s winter wedding was beautiful! I loved capturing photos that not only show their love for one another, but for their family and friends, as well. Holly designed many of the decorative elements for her wedding. She was stunning, and every detail of her winter wedding was absolutely beautiful!
It was amazing to capture such special memories of Holly and Dave, as they were surrounded by the love of their family and friends! I feel truly honored to be invited to capture such special memories!
Congratulations Holly and Dave!
