I have known Liv for, what, over 10 years now. She is quite simply one of the most rocken ladies I have ever had the pleasure of calling a friend. Liv has worked in the domestic violence movement for many years and is such an inspiration. She is loud and animated, well like me! No wonder we get along so well. I just adore her, so when she told me she was engaged I knew I just had to shoot her wedding. When we finally met and I got to meet Alan our future groom I just adored him as well. These two are so sweet together, a perfect pair. They met over the classic game bocce ball, and so we had to make it a part of our session. We met in the Northwest Park blocks of Portland and spent some time in the neighborhood just laughing and taking photos.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:

I was laying in grass to get this one and was lucky not to be hit! Ahh the things I do for love. 😉

Liv & Alan are also avid kick ball players, part of a local team I believe. How fun is that!

*sigh* cuteness.
Liv & Alan I had a great time bopping around PDX with you two. And thanks for the Thai Ice Tea! Yumm. I can not wait for your wedding just around the corner. I hope you love these images as much as I do. And because miss Liv is one of my #1 gold star blog commenters I just have to offer a comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will hook you up with an 11×14 of your choice for your home. Personally I vote for the sassy kickball one, but I am bias! So get commenting kids!

You two are so freaking cute Liv!!! Great job Emily 🙂
I’ll be the first to comment if it means freebies for one of your clients. Great session!
I like the ink picture, you really captured Liv’s smile and Alan’s long eye lashes (that I never noticed before contacts) I like the last one too. See ya in August for some great family shots too.
yayayayayayayayayay!!! the day FINALLY came!! these are great! can’t wait to see more…
Great series. I love all the green in the death-by-bocce perspective shots. Also… I’ve contacted the owner of the natty purple garage door and it’s being carted to Seattle for my personal use right this second.
Xoxo.
AWWWWWWW these came out so great!!!!!!!!!I am so excited I get to be in your wedding!
Totally cute! Great job Emily and I hope your wedding is as beautiful as the two of you!

great photos liv! i like the one of you, your ink, and your boy kissing you the best!
I love the smilin ink photo! Great photos!!!

Not half bad. I personally like number 14 the cheek kiss you have a great smile on your face, and he’s not so bad either. Looking forward to seeing you at the wedding. The pictures are great. have fun like always.
Liv & Alan are so adorable – and Emily – You’ve captured that!! Great pics!!
I’m totally in love with the last pic in this series! But I think my fave is the series with the purple door – upper right pic especially – it looks like Alan is daring Liv to chomp on his nose! A-freakin-dorable!
Beautiful pics, you really captured the sweetness of their love. Bravo!!!! You guys look amazing by the way ; )

LIV! I’m so happy for you! These pictures are too cute… love you two together! Wishing you much happiness and love in your future…

I agree completely with the mother-of-the-bride’s choices, and emily & lisa’s sentiment of feeling excited about being apart of the wedding 🙂
You guys look so great together! Congrats!!!
I love the fourth (I think) pic where Alan is kissing Liv’s cheek and it’s all up close and personal.
I looove the one of Liv and Alan sitting in the park!
These are wonderful! I love the series in front of the purple door. Congrats Liv and Alan!!!
You guys reek of cuteness and love. I adore your coupleness. xoxo

Thanks for sharing these – they are so sweet and lovely! I really love the last picture and the third picture. I guess I just think you two look super cute when Liv is smiling while being kissed by her love!
I love the one sitting in the grass. They are all really beautiful, a good sign of what’s to come for wedding photos. I also love the forehead kiss… I think it’s one of the very best PDA’s around. =)
Hey! Thank you for sharing! Love the pics! Congrats!
I love the final photo, so sweet!
Yay! I’m number 30! I vote for the one of them sitting in the grass. It is just beautiful and perfect 🙂
OMG! These are so great! I have way too many favorites to name them all. You guys look totally blissed out & in love 🙂 Love you & can’t wait for the big day!!
Like the first couple, I see Eve(Liv) holding the apple. I’ve never seen inner city places look so inviting and full of love and romance. Great pics! My favorite is the top right with the purple background. What a wonderful, happy couple. Much love to both of you!
Photo sitting on the grass is super. Great work.
These pics are awesome.
Alan, you cant keep your hands off of her! J/K, you guys look great. I wish you both the BEST!!!
You both look great! I am excited that I will be home to share in this special moment for the two of you….And in my own backyard! What a treat. Personally, I prefer the Sasssay! photo. I am all for sassiness.
The wedding pictures will be beautiful especially with such a beautiful couple.
I love the pictures, they are playful and very interesting. The arrangements are great and I can fell the romanace. Love Aunt Jill
