I say yes please to more awesome and adventurous engagement sessions like this one to Bridal Veil Falls! Seriously, Nicole an Jeff were down for anything and we had so much fun!

We drove out together to Hood River and stopped at a wonderful little lavender farm with a great view of Mt. Hood. Nicole is slightly obsessed with the lavender, it will be the main design element of their wedding next summer at the Ponzi Winery. We didn’t have a whole lot of time at the Lavender Farm but Nicole and Jeff frolicked, skipped and cuddled in the field. They’re just beyond adorable together, I can hardly handle it. (Just kidding, you know I love it!)

As we made our way back to the falls, we stopped on the side of the road where there was some amazing light streaming through the trees and a spectacular view of Mt. Hood!

But my favorite part of this engagement session and where the real adventure began, was with our hike to Bridal Veil Falls. Jeff and Nicole were totally open to my “creative vision” and climbed up a massive boulder to stand up in front of the falls. We found the perfect beam of light peaking through, and then a nice breeze came to pick up Nicole’s skirt a little. I wish I could take credit for it, but at least I pushed the button at the right time, right?

Congratulations you two, I had so much fun hanging out with you all afternoon! Also, HUGE thank you to Kim O’Neil for holding my lights, reflector and managing to also get some killer photographs at the same time!
