Jeffrey & Jacqui

An Oregon Coast Engagement Session


Love, Wine, and Unexpected Surprises: The Story of Jeffrey and Jacqui

Picture this: a sunny afternoon at Bells Up Winery, a picturesque local winery known for its enchanting vineyards and exquisite wines. Jeffrey had been secretly planning this moment for months, and the time had finally come to pop the big question to his beloved, Jacqui. Little did she know that this day, disguised as a "girl's day" with her friends, would turn into a life-changing event.

Jeffrey, being the thoughtful and romantic soul that he is, arrived at the winery with a white rose in hand and a gleaming diamond engagement ring in his pocket. As Jacqui enjoyed her day, sipping on her favorite Pinot Noir and indulging in the beauty of the winery, Jeffrey anxiously awaited the perfect moment to surprise her. And when the time was right, he presented the rose and asked Jacqui to be his wife. Overwhelmed with joy, she said yes, and their journey to forever began.

Their love story started four years ago when fate brought them together through a dating app. Jacqui had been searching for someone who shared her passion for their career, and Jeffrey was the perfect match. Their first date took them to the Portland City Grill, where they bonded over their experiences and Jeffrey's dreams of becoming an ENT specialist. It was evident from that night that their connection was strong, and they were both willing to support and uplift each other in their respective professional paths.

Jacqui surprised herself when she realized she was willing to uproot her life for love. Before meeting Jeffrey, the idea of relocating for a relationship had never crossed her mind. But their love was undeniable, and she discovered a newfound willingness to go wherever Jeffrey's career would take them. As luck would have it, Jeffry matched with the residency program at OHSU, aligning perfectly with their shared vision of a future together.

With their wedding day on the horizon, Jeffrey and Jacqui have chosen the stunning and intimate Allison Inn and Spa as their venue. It's a place that captures their essence as a couple and promises to provide their guests with an unforgettable experience. They're going all-out to create a wedding that reflects their unique personalities and love for one another.

To add a touch of enchantment to their special day, they've decided to hire an electric violinist. This bespoke choice will create a magical ambiance and set the perfect mood for their guests. It's clear that Jeffrey and Jacqui are putting their heart and soul into curating an unforgettable wedding experience both for themselves and all on their guest list.

In preparation for their wedding, we embarked on an engagement session that showcased their love for adventure and the great outdoors. Jeffrey and Jacqui chose the mesmerizing Oregon Coast as their backdrop, spending hours splashing in the chilly Pacific waters and chasing the breathtaking sunset along the Manzanita Cliffs. As the evening progressed, the shoot continued into the Blue Hour, where the full moon cast a romantic glow on the wet sand as the tide gently receded.

And just when we all thought the day couldn't get any more magical, the universe had one final surprise in store for us! As the evening drew to a close, a single firework display erupted in the sky, celebrating the upcoming Fourth of July festivities. It was a fitting end to an extraordinary engagement session, leaving me in awe of the beauty that surrounded their love.

Jeffrey and Jacqui's love story is a testament to the power of connection, shared dreams, and the unexpected surprises that life has in store. From their chance encounter on a dating app to the moment Jeffrey got down on one knee amidst the vineyards, their journey has been filled with love, adventure, and a pinch of fate.
