Portland Waterfront Engagement Session – Kimi & Khiem

Oh my gosh, Kimi and Khiem were so much fun to photograph! Even though the engagement session was the first time we had ever met, they were so easy going, we hit it off immediately. We started out just strolling around the SW waterfront area in downtown Portland. I loved how windy it was! Kimi’s got the perfect hair for blowing in the wind.

One of the really cool things about this shoot is that Khiem is one of the engineers who helped design the new Transit Light Rail bridge and we were able to get it in some of the shots! Its a pretty fun addition to the Portland waterfront skyline.

Bridal Veil Falls and Lavender Farm Engagement

Bridal Veil Engagement Session

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?

Portland French Bulldog Engagement

we walked along the boardwalk of the Columbia river in Vancouver. The sun was just starting to set so we got that beautiful warm light everywhere. I love the color pallet of this whole engagement shoot! The purples and oranges are so good together.

Portland Rose Garden Engagement

Eric is all about the very public displays of affection while Sarah mostly tries to avoid them. I absolutely love this first shot of the two of them because its so real. Sarah has that adorable coy look going on. Ha! I love it!

Wow, I seriously cannot get enough of the Gorge lately! Laura and Jesse spent a lot of time out here in the Gorge growing up and its a really special place to Laura’s family. They’re getting married on the Washington side of the Gorge in October at a place called Cape Horn Estate. I can’t wait! I know it will be absolutely overflowing with amazing florals because guess what? Laura is the daughter of the owners of Gifford’s Flowers downtown! (Or maybe she is a part owner – I’m not sure?) Anyway, they know flowers, they love flowers and I know they will get super creative for this wedding!

Surprise Sunset Proposal!

Men take note: It was just about half an hour before sunset on the Eastbank Esplanade. You really can’t beat the view of Portland from the east waterfront. I spend way too much time on the west side, so I didn’t realize how gorgeous the view of the downtown Portland skyline could be over the river!

If you’re thinking you might propose to that special someone soon, call me! I’m super sneaky and I’ve got long lenses. 🙂
