Why you should love your photographer...

On your wedding day you will be spending about 85-90% of your entire day with your photographer by your side. They will be guiding you through every step of the day! You want someone there you trust, who is organized, and who you can have fun with!

When you love your photographer and get along with them really well you can let your guard down around them. You can crack silly jokes and laugh and have fun! In doing so, you end up with not only amazing and genuine photos, but you'll have an even better experience!

When you've taken the time to get to know the person photographing you, they will know and understand your specific needs and wants. They will know the best way to capture you and bring out your best smiles, laughs, and natural emotions. Plus who doesn't love making new friends?!

Rosemary and lavender. Sweet looks and soft kisses. These two beautiful people are something incredibly special. This Champoeg State Park wedding was a day that will be remembered for years and years to come, and not just by Shana and Garrett. Shana planned this wedding almost completely by herself! She even created and put together […]

How we met Sam + Maggie are super special to me! I was honored to be present at their wedding at The Woods at Crooked Finger. It felt like a real-life woodsy fairytale wedding! These two are one of the sweetest couples I know. We met through their first photo session with me about 3 […]

Stunning View in Gates, Oregon The only thing better than this jaw-dropping couple and view, were all the tear-filled moments that tugged at my heart strings.
