Meet Sarah & Michael…
They are smart, funny, witty & kind. They both have lovely warm smiles, and big hearts. They are also both prone to teasing & pulling pranks.
In short they are my kind of couple.
These two will be tying the knot this summer at the beautiful Balch Hotel in the Columbia River Gorge. I am so excited to capture the big event! It should be a fun day. Since the hotel is in such a scenic small town area, we thought it would be fun to do something really different for the engagement photos. We headed to the east side esplanade to capture Portland downtown & some of the river front. We actually ended up walking one of Michaels’s favorite running spots.We had a great time walking the path, and grabbing some fun photos before the rain set in. Oh Oregon springs!
Here are a few of my favorites from our session together.
Sarah & Michael thanks again for meeting up with me and dealing with the back and fourth weather. I am so pleased we risked it.
I had a great time getting to know you two more. I am super excited to capture your big day this summer! For now I would love to offer you a little blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 print on the house. I am thinking a big print of that bridge shot would be stunning, just sayen.
So leave some love people!

What great pictures and what a novel idea to use the Esplanade. You had two people that made great pictures together.
Great photos! # 1 and 2 are my favs! Super-cute!
You both look great! What wonderful photos!
You two look so cute together. You can see the love. Sorry I cannot be there in person for the big day, but I will be there in spirit.
These are so crisp, even on the computer, they must be amazing when printed. Great job being in different places. I love the making out on the dock and sitting under the tree. It’s as if the tree is representing the many branches that your life together will take, yet the two of you are the trunk, always together. And you look as if you were having a great time! Can’t wait to see the wedding photos!
So you two. So Portland. So fun!
Hey. These are great. You are great. I haven’t met her, but I’m sure she is great. Good job being great.
