Allison & Mark's Dreamy Country Wedding in Big Island, Va | VA & PDX Wedding Photography

 

Allison and I have known each other our entire lives. She's my first cousin, but might as well be my sister. We spent every snowy winter sliding down massive hills, we took dance classes together until college, we started our own lemonade stand, we devised secret plans to torture our siblings and we would meet at the "rock pile" in-between our houses whenever we got a chance so that we could hang out. Now that I live on the West Coast we don't get to see each other very often, but when we do spend time together I'm reminded of how important she is to me and how similar we are. We both grew up in Sedalia, right below the Blue Ridge Mountains on Mountain Run Farm. When she asked me to photograph her wedding, I was so excited. Being able to capture the beauty of the farm we lived on growing up seemed like such a magical experience. And it totally was. The wedding was absolutely perfect. The weather was perfect. Allison & Mark are perfect, and these photos are some of my favorites from last year's wedding season. <3

Congratulations Allison & Mark! Love you two so much!

Portland Engagement Shoot at Forest Park | PDX Wedding Photography

 

Earlier this year, I did an engagement shoot with Isa & Edgar. They were super sweet and adorable together. They just moved to the Pacific Northwest, but it's obvious that they fit right into the Portland lifestyle. We met at See See Motorcycles for coffee and then headed downtown to Forest Park. It was cloudy and overcast all day, but we somehow managed to dodge the rain. As usual, I shot a combination of film and digital images, with a few multiple exposures thrown in. Check out these two cuties below!

 

Portland Wedding Photography | Discounted Photography Packages for 2017

 

Hi everyone!

It's Monday. It's rainy and gray outside. But I'm starting to feel super excited about sunshine and weddings! My own wedding is coming up in a few weeks (eeek!) and I'm realizing just how stressful it is to plan and execute. To give you a little boost, I'm offering $200 off any standard wedding package until my wedding, April 13th! Check out my price list  and then contact me when you're ready to start chatting. :)

Or, if you're looking for a wedding DJ too, my fiance Chris (of In Debut Music) and I also offer a discounted package if you book us together. For $3000, you get 6 hours of photography, 5 hours of music and everything in-between. This deal runs year round, so no pressure. 

Happy Wedding Planning!
