Hilary and Justin were one of my first 2012 wedding couples, and I thought I’d throw a little engagement loveliness out here before everyone heads off for the holidays!
Way back in October we got together to walk around the downtown Park Blocks, the Art Museum, and take some photos of this adorable couple. Congratulations!
My favorite shot of the day!
It was a seriously gorgeous September afternoon; the kind of late summer day that every Portlander knows is possible, but we had somehow all been cheated out of until then. We started off at the Nines, a swanky downtown Portland hotel, filled with beautiful light and gorgeous textiles and furniture. Juli’s Old Hollywood-esque gown found its perfect backdrop…
Such a stunning bride!
The way Travis kept looking at Juli throughout the day just melted my heart…
We then headed up to the Rose Garden for the lovely ceremony…
Juli’s Dad looking ever-so-dapper in his kilt…

After the ceremony and some more photos, we all headed back downtown to the Davis Street Tavern, for cocktails and a delicious dinner.
Beautiful cheesecake by Davis Street Tavern…
Congratulations, Juli and Travis! I’m so glad I got to be a part of your lovely day.
Leslie and Jason’s wedding is happening in Seattle, but having grown up here in Portland, Leslie wanted to have our engagement session around the places she loved growing up. We met up at Powell’s downtown (they’re so amenable to photographers!) and headed out from there. It was so wild hearing Leslie reminisce about how the Pearl District has changed since she was a kid.
Next up, their Seattle wedding!
