For Megan and Fowler’s engagement session we covered some familiar ground in the Pearl district. It’s definitely a popular spot for photographers – I had my own wedding pictures taken in the gorgeous Tanner Springs Park, and we encountered another photographer there taking portraits as well, but it’s easy to see why. So lovely. These two are getting married next year at the World Forestry Center!

When we were discussing locations for their engagement shoot, Margi told me that we could go “anywhere in Oregon.” That’s a pretty rad thing to tell a photographer, and immediately I thought of Manzanita, a little town on the northern Coast. I hadn’t been back out there since shooting a wedding there in 2010. We began our shoot at Oswald West State Park, now hands-down one of my favorite places “anywhere in Oregon.” We ran around the beach, the little caves, and all over the big log fields. Margi and Vince have an infectious energy with each other. Vince was more reserved throughout, until Margi suggested that we have a paint fight on the beach…

Can’t wait for their wedding next year in Southern Oregon…another area of the State that’s new to me!
I met Lizzi and Geoff through my involvement with Pacific Pug Rescue, so when it came time to shoot their engagement session, we knew that their adorable pug Cosmo had to be part of the show. We headed to Astoria on an absolutely gorgeous afternoon to wander around the wharf, ogle some sea lions, and, finally, finished up the day on the beach.
Gorgeous view from up at the Astoria Column…
Can’t resist the moony pug face…

Congratulations, you two! Can’t wait for the wedding next year in Kona, HI. So excited to be part of their day!
