The week before last I had the chance to meet up with one of my lovely September wedding couples. Mary & Sara wanted to get some engagement photos in some of their favorite Portland spots before the big day. We had great time tromping through the trees in Mt. Tabor park and then on the busy streets of Hawthorne Blvd. These two were sweet, funny and an all around treat to point my camera at. I am really looking forward to the wedding next month at the Portland Rose Gardens and the Zoo! Yes that is right the Zoo! Super excited for that part, yes I am a big kid I know.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Mt Tabor has these beautiful stands of old trees just perfect with a little sunset light and happy couple.

See I told you they were adorable.


After our time at the park we headed down to the busy streets of Hawthorne Blvd, I love Hawthorne, lots of art, murals and bright colors.


I just had to use this mural with the heart on top it was too perfect not too.

Clearly there is no shortage of love between these two. 
Purple for Sara! 
Orange for Mary!
Mary & Sara thanks again for your flexibility and for tromping around Portland with me. I have a lovely time getting to know you two better. I am really looking forward to your wedding just a few short weeks away! As usually I would love to throw down a blog challenge for new clients. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post there is an 11×14 in it for you.
