Morgan & Steven spend a lot of time at his families adorable cottage in Manzaneta, OR so when we started talking about spots for the engagement session that seemed to be the place. I am so glad I made the trek up to see them, they place is darling, and the coastline is beautiful. I have not spent a whole lot of time in Manzaneta, but the beach there is beautiful. Lots of distinctive geological elements you don’t see on every beach, lots of rocks and large wooden forts, it is such a cool spot.

We had a great time talking about small towns on the coast, weddings, and crazy dogs.

here are a few of my favorites…

Morgan & Steven, thanks for having me out to your cabin! I had a great time with you two, and meeting your neurotic and sweet dog. 🙂 I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek. I will have the whole set ready for you very soon!

When I first started talking to Sara about engagement photos she was very specific about what she wanted. She wanted to do their engagement session on her fiance’s family farm. But not just any time this summer, specifically when the hops were fat and greet, right before harvest. As anyone familiar with agriculture knows sometimes that is a moving target, for some reason plants do not like to take orders. 😉

Well the season came, and we scheduled our session, we came out to the farm and Sara did it! She perfectly planned out a stunning location, brought her A game with attire, and even a bonus cute puppy. We had a great time chatting, talking hops, and making some pretty photos.

Take a gander at some of my favorites…

Sara and Brandon thank you for having me out to your incredibly beautiful farm. I had a great time chatting with you guys, walking the grounds and learning about hops. It was so cool! I hope you all enjoyed the sneak peek! I will have the whole set ready very soon. For now, if you like, you can take my blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 print on the house.

so leave some love folks!
