Melissa & Mandy are one of those couples you just have to love. Upon our first meeting I felt instantly connected excited about their wedding. They exude warmth and welcome. Two lovely ladies that are so clearly in love it was a joy to photograph them. For their engagement session we went up to the Multnomah Village area of Portland. The two currently live here, and Mandy has deep roots in the neighborhood. We had a great time walking around that warm evening and making some great photos.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
See how could you not smile back.
Mandy’s roots in Multnomah Village rungs deep, her grand parents used to own a dental office in this building many years ago. 
These two are so fun, and so relaxed with each other. 
We also visited the cool old recreation center. Such great light there. 
After a while on the main drag we ran down to Gabriel Park for a while, the walking trails were beautiful. 
Is there anything better than a sweat couple in the sunset light, I think not. 
And one last photo of our happy couple.
Melissa & Many thanks again for having me out to your stomping ground. I had a great time getting to know you both better and hearing more about your big day. Just a few weeks away!
