Leia & Tyler are wonderful, it is that simple. Working with some couples just make you feel all warm and fuzzy, like old friends. 
Leia & Tyler are planning a beautiful wedding next month on the Oregon coast I can not wait to capture. Lots of out of town family, beautiful details and special events, It is going to be grand. I have been looking forward their engagement session for a while now, so when we met in downtown Salem, OR on a warm summer night I knew it would be a great session.
We had a great time running around the colorful back allys and chasing the sunset down to the waterfront. Here are some of my favorites so far:
We found some heart graffiti, perfect right?!
Salem has some wonderful wisteria covered alleys that were a great romantic backdrop.
These two are so sweet together.
we even went back to my favorite grungy service door. A virtual cookie to anyone who can remember the session I used this same door in last year!
I love Leia’s smiles here, clearly so much brighter when she is looking at her cute man rather than me!
We made it down to the waterfront just in time for the last moments of sunset. So pretty!
and one last kiss before we were in the dark.
Leia & Tyler thanks for coming up to Salem and tromping all over town with me! I had a lovely time with you two! I will have the whole set, and mock up of your book very soon as well. I can not wait for your big day right around the corner! And as always for my new clients, if you can get 30 people to comment on this little post I will throw in an 11×14 of your favorite image from the session! Leave some love folks!
