To truly capture the end of the fall season, I travelled with my couple, Nyrie and Brandon to Crystal Springs Rhododendron gardens in SE Portland, Oregon for their engagement session.

The day was perfect, and the sun was out in its fullest beauty, but it was pretty cold! Nyrie wore a dress for her first outfit and was such a trooper, but she had to snuggle Brandon to keep warm, so the poses were perfect. We adventured around the entire garden so we could experience all the beauty it had to offer.

As the sun set we were able to capture some photos with that gorgeous golden light glow!

These two are pretty special because they love to be silly with each other and made each other laugh and giggle the entire time. As the photographer I barely had to get them to laugh!

And trust me, this makes for such a fun engagement session that will produce the best photographs. It’s all about building that type of repertoire with my couples to have the most successful wedding day.

I cannot wait to photograph this amazing couple’s wedding in June 2022 at Horning's Hideout in North Plains, OR.
