Columbia River Gorge Engagement Session

Susan and Josh picked the Columbia River Gorge for their engagement session; one of my absolute favorite spots for photography anytime of the year. But this session was extra special since we got the added bonus of gorgeous fall colors everywhere we looked. Susan and Josh brought along their favorite pup, Penny (she even made it in a photo or two!) and we ventured along the Historic Columbia River Highway to find some unique spots off the beaten path. Of course, we couldn't help ending at Crown Point for some lookout shots with the gorge in the background.

Growing up in Florida, where Fall colors were practically a mythical legend, I had never really experienced a true Autumn until I moved to Portland. I look forward to fall colors every year now, but it still always catches my breath when it arrives in all it's vibrant beauty. I'm so glad we were able to capture some of it for Susan & Josh's engagement session.

Jena & Patrick - McMenamin's Edgefield Engagement

These two sweethearts had their heart set on some beautiful fall colors for their engagement session and, my oh my, did we time it great! We wandered our way around the property of McMenamin's Edgefield and everywhere we looked were vibrant colors and gracefully falling leaves. Jena came prepared with an adorable picnic basket, complete with an assortment of farmer's market cheeses, wine and other goodies, and the results were picture perfect. With how detailed Jena is, I absolutely can't wait for their wedding next year! Congrats you two!
