The weather for yesterday’s wedding was down right was terrible, but with a bride & groom list these two you can not help but have a great night!
can you tell this was like the only 5 mins all day it was clear?
Check out Anna rocking the rain boots. Only you can make them look hot girl!
Who cares about the rain, lets PARTY!
This might be my favorite bride image of all time, Anna, baby you rock!
Much much more soon. I just had to share these.

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!

Beautiful. These are great pics:)
Great photos, and beautiful couple. agree with Lauren – the waterfront pics are especially lovely.
beautiful pics – love the sunset ones.
Perfect!!
I love these photos – they really capture the essence of Leia and Tyler! I can almost hear Leia laughing in some of them…
wonderful pictures!
What beautiful pics of a beautiful couple. I’ve known Leia since birth and Tyler since age 3— they’ve been meant to be this whole time.
These pics are perfect!!
Fabulous photos of a fabulous couple! I especially love the graffiti heart shot. And I especially love these two beautiful young people. Thanks for sharing!
Love the graffiti pic… look at those sexy heels! Yummy
Wow! My favorite photo of the most adorable couple?… the heart, the alley, the sunset waterfront… all wonderful. Emily has captured your magic! xoxm
Leia, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in heels – except maybe Meg’s wedding! The photos are fab, and I can’t wait to see the ones of the actual day. If they are anything like these….XX
Gorgeous photography, and the world’s greatest couple!
The heart graffiti is perfect! I almost want to take the long drive down to Salem just to get a picture like that!
Great photos, and fun wedding!
Lovely photos Emily! Thanks for sharing!
I have been working on Emily & Sam sneak peek for way too long. There were so many beautiful images to choose from I hope you are sitting down, this is going to be a long one!
Emily and Sam planned a stunning event at the Resort at the Mountain in Welches Oregon. The Resort is absolutely stunning, and so wonderful to work with. It’s not often that the on-site coordinator will whisk you around the property on a golf cart to all the beautiful places to shoot. We had a wonderful time with this super sweet couple taking in the beautiful of the property and capturing some beautiful images. I should also give a huge shout-out to Sean Morrison for being my 2nd shooter and partner in crime for this event. Thanks again Sean, you were a treat to have along! Some of the pairings below contain images he shot.
So on to the photos!
We started off in a lovely suite while the beautiful Emily was getting ready. Em’s hair and make up was so perfect and elegant for the setting.
Her dress was also completely stunning. The details were beautiful, and even more beautiful on our bride.
Have I mentioned that Emily was absolutely stunning?
Sam was also quite the dashing groom.
The couples first look was under this beautiful weeping willow tree. I love Emily’s laugh here, so perfect. These two love to laugh.
They are so lovely together.
Such a beautiful couple.
Emily’s flowers were absolutely stunning.
The best part of Emily’s stunning dress had to be the elegant but sexy back. So striking.
The resort had some beautiful spots, one I loved was the zen garden at the spa. Such a beautiful building.
The wedding party was also lovely, and so much fun!
And one last one of the lovely couple. Such fun people to work with.
Emily & Sam I had a great time at your amazing event. I have much, much more to show you. I will have more soon, and of course the whole gallery. Any friends & family reading please do leave a comment. I will email you when the whole gallery is ready!
xo em
This be a good one Em. Nicely done. And that is the prettiest dress I’ve seen this year. Yowzahs!
Great stuff em! It was a pleasure to finally shoot with you.
I see why you’re proud of these images Emily! Definitely with good reason, they’re beautiful!
That dress is to die for!! Wow! Most gorgeous dress I have seen in a long time…especially the back. Fabulous. Another job well done girl.
I am in LOVE with the back of her dress!!!
What a wonderful couple! You both look radiantly happy. It was a wonderful day. These pics are fabulous!
A perfect day for a perfect couple. And beautiful photos to capture some wonderful moments.
[...] had the pleasure of working with Becca back a few months on Emily & Sam’s amazing wedding. Becca is the event master and the stunning Resort at the Mountain at the base of Mt. Hood. Well [...]
Words can not describe how much I loved Scott & Bryn’s wedding. Seriously I have an amazing job! These two are both wonderful people, beautiful inside and out. So to be a part of their special day was such an honor. These two tied the knot at the Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast in Mt. Hood OR. It is such a beautiful location!
Scott & Bryn did an amazing job of planning for every little detail, and the staff at the B&B worked to make it all seamless. It was truly an amazing event, and so much FUN! Scott & Bryn made the whole day so fun, and always full of laughter. I could not ask for a better couple to spend my day with. I should also give a huge should out to the lovely and talented Jenny for being my second shooter and partner in crime. She seriously rocks to have by your side! Some of the images below came from her.
Anyway on to the photos right! There are many, many, many I want to share here.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
Bryn’s dress was amazing, and so full of detail.
Bryn and her girls were so great. It was really lovely to see this group of old friends come together.
Scott’s guys were also super sweet and hilarious. Jenny got the task of shooting the boys getting all ready, she said they were a riot.
Scott & Bryn’s first look was one of the most emotional I have had so far. They were so excited to see each other. Bryn’s huge smile then tears of joy kill me.
Once we were though the first look and all the preparations we got to the fun photos. I loved this woodshed! The contrast of their formal attire and farm staple was too good to pass up.
these cozy cabins at the B&B were so sweet, and perfectly hidden away for an intimate moment.
Jenny spotted this sign, we had to use it right!
They are just so sweet together!
I always have to do a shoe shot, but Scott went all out!
So technically I am cheating a little here. These photos and the next few were taken during the reception but I HAD to share them here. I love a field at sunset, and having two beautiful people to photo in the field makes it that much better!
*sigh* so pretty.
and one last one for today.
See what I mean, such an amazing wedding! I have not even touched the cerimony and reception yet! I feel another peek, and a slideshow coming on soon!
Scott & Bryn thanks again for having us out to be a part of your big day! I had an absolutely amazingly wonderful time. I just adore you two. I am so glad your honeymoon was great. I will have more for you very soon! Any friends & family reading this please leave a comment here if you would like to see the whole gallery when it is ready!

LOVE the howdy sign, for some quirky reason. And those sunset shots are stunning.
Gorgeous job, Emily! I’m lovin’ the twirling photo and the shoe photo…not to mention the one by the wood pile… you rocked this wedding!!

Wow! These turned out great! I was a bridesmaid, (the one you kept telling to “get closer.”) I’ve been checking your page everyday and was soooo excited to see how amazing the pictures turned out! Great work! I love the one by the wood shed and the one of their feet!
Gorgeous pictures Emily! I absolutely love the woodpile one. And her twirling around in the field in front of Mt. Hood????!!!! AWESOME!
your best work yet! amazing, amazing, fun, happy and so fantastically great!
first look: total teary eyed!! her expression showing him her dress. sigh…

When Jamie (the mama) called me a few weeks back to inquire about a family session I knew instantly it was going to be a great session. She had done her homework and was familiar with my style and down for what ever it took to make a great session. She also loved the idea of running around a local nature preserve I had been eying for months to shoot. It was perfect, so when the night came up and the temperature was not too hot, or too cold I knew it would be a good night. Oh and it helps that the entire family is completely beautiful.
I meet up with this adorable family at the Tualitin River National Wildlive Refuge just before sunset, and we had a lovely time running around, picking blackberries, chasing grasshoppers.
I could do the longest post in the world with all of my favorites, but I will be good. Here are a few of my favs so far:
Meet the little dude, he completely stole my heart. He the cutest! He just turned 2 and is always on the go! He gave me a work out for sure keeping up with him, but so worth it for that smile.
Mom & Dad are also very sweet and hello adorable!
We have lots of fun running around the reserve. They have some beautiful trails perfect for capturing that late summer warmth.
Little dude is ALL BOY. I scored big points when I caught a grasshopper for him to check out. Gah look at that smile, so cute!
This one might be my favorite, their smiles are all real & playful.
Little dude loves his mama!
and of course we got all those great little dude smiles with some delicious local blackberries! Yumm.
Ahh the whole family was just lovely.
Ok maybe I take it back, this one might be my favorite. I love the tender moments, and that little smile peeking out.
and one last shot before it was completely dark.I love all the colors here.
Jamie I had an absolutely wonderful time with all of you! I will have the full gallery for you very soon. I look forward to next time already, and weddings, and babies and on and one! You guys rock. And of course all my new clients get a little blog challenge special. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little blog post I will throw in a mini wallet album for both of you! So leave some love in the comment section folks!
