Last weekend, I had the privilege of photographing this intimate wedding at Sparks Lake Meadows. The decorations were elegant and simple, which allowed the focus to be on Houston & Hannah and the covenant they were entering into. These two first met back in October of 2020 and started dating about a week later. Within…
Carolay & Sebastian’s fairytale beach elopement could not have been more perfect! If I could go back and re-live that afternoon all over again, I absolutely would. The whole affair was so intimate and special, and so completely focused on Carolay & Sebastian becoming one. That’s the way a wedding day *should* be, and it…
The misty haze descended down and around us as Kylie walked up behind Jake. It was the day of their elopement on the Oregon coast, and their closest family and friends were all hanging out at a little beach rental, waiting to celebrate with them. Kylie tapped Jake on the shoulder, and he turned to…
Chris & Christine’s elopement at Mount Rainier didn’t exactly go as planned, but at the end of the weekend, we had successfully celebrated them + their marriage! And that’s what it’s all about…right? Right!! (Also another reason why I LOVE elopements. There’s so much freedom to celebrate exactly where + how the couple wants to,…
Garrett & Mandy’s intimate elopement at Smith Rock State Park last weekend was straight out of a western fairytale. Every moment was centered around the love they share for each other, and for their boys. When Mandy first reach out to me, it was to schedule a couple’s session. After booking, however, Garrett popped the…
Well, after the year we all had in 2020, it seems only appropriate that I’ve taken until March of 2021 to publish my “best of 2020” images! But wow, even with how rough 2020 was, there were still some incredible times, and even more incredible photos that I can’t not share!
This snowy elopement in Bend, Oregon last Friday was soooo beautiful! I started the day out by driving across the mountains from Albany…actually, I convinced my dad to drive since my husband had to work and I didn’t want to attempt the snowy pass. It was a beautiful drive, and definitely put me in the…
This Smith Rock elopement came on the tail-end of massive wildfires raging across Oregon. The fires are still going on, but they’ve been somewhat contained now. And after heavy rains, the smoke cleared and the air quality went from beyond “hazardous” to “good”! We were so incredibly blessed with the clear skies and air! A…
As we all know, COVID-19 has thrown a wrench in the gears of just about everyone’s plans. Some of my couples have had to postpone their weddings or elopements, and a lot of them have moved to an intimate backyard wedding. But despite this day not looking exactly like Hector & Erinn had originally planned,…
It was the day after Micajah & Irina’s intimate wedding on the beach, and even the birds were still in bed. But Micajah, Irina, and I were trekking through the forest with only headlamps to light our way. Pretty soon we broke out into an open meadow, and we could see the outline of God’s…
Countless weddings have been affected by COVID-19 this year, including most of my own 2020 couples. From postponing to downsizing, wedding celebrations are looking very different this year. Elopements are the becoming more of the norm, and while I LOVE elopements, my heart hurts for all of these sweet couples who have had a wrench…
The seagulls cried overhead and waves kissed the shoreline as Irina floated down the aisle toward Micajah. His eyes never left her face, as he breathed out “WOW”. His bride really was “wow” worthy. Her dress was gorgeous and her bouquet flawless, yes, but the true radiance shown from within. It was the perfect day…
