Thomas & Sarah // Moody Oregon Engagement Session

by Rebekah · Leave a Comment

Oregon really pulled out all the moody stops for this engagement session last weekend! We started out with just some normal Oregon moodiness, but it quickly progressed to misting rain. By the end of the session, we were pretty wet!!

But the cold and the rain couldn’t stop Thomas & Sarah from being straight up CUTIES. These two met in chemistry class the first day of freshman year at OSU, which I think was just a foreshadowing of where life would lead them! They started dating about two months later, and as they say, the rest is history. I can’t wait for their wedding at Skamania Lodge this coming summer. It’s going to be AMAZING!

I loved watching Thomas & Sarah interact during their session. They’re such joyful humans, but whenever they looked at each other, love & joy just radiated from their faces. My heart is always so happy when I see that kind of love & joy in the faces of the couples I get to serve!

The day before their engagement session, Sarah emailed me and asked if they could bring a bottle of champagne to pop open. My answer? “HECK YES!!!” I always down for champagne pops or other fun ideas! This was actually the first champagne pop that I had photographed, but it went off without a hitch. (I did a lot of research leading up to the session, so if anybody needs advice on how to photograph a champagne pop, hit me up!) Keep scrolling to see all the photos from this moody Oregon engagement session!

Pro tip: When you’re planning "getting ready" t Pro tip: When you’re planning "getting ready" time before your engagement session (scheduling your hair, makeup, etc.) please give yourself a lot more time than you think you'll need. Make sure to account for things like traffic, getting lost and parking, so you can prevent unnecessary stress, arrive a few minutes early to your session and be ready to start on time. We’re only able to shoot when light is still in the sky, so we’ll want to take advantage of every minute we have together before the sun goes down!
If you're needing some inspiration for your grand If you're needing some inspiration for your grand exit, look no further than Tallen & Madison's wedding a few years ago at Three Strands Farm! They combined sparklers with colored smoke bombs which took their photos from amazing to WOW!!! Let me know what you think of this exit in the comments below!
Want to know five of my top wedding planning tips? Want to know five of my top wedding planning tips?? ⤵️ 1) Time your hair & makeup trial runs so you know how much space to give them in the wedding day timeline. Then, add some buffer time in, just in case!! 2) Prep a mock-up of a reception table, and then take an overhead photo of it. Pop it into Instagram stories and put some labels on it, then save and print for your setup/cleanup crew. (This is especially helpful if you’re using a mixture of rented, borrowed, and purchased items!) 3) If the comb in your veil just isn’t working with your hairstyle, take that puppy out and replace it with some loops. Then use bobby pins to hook through the loops and secure to your head! 4) Kiss sloooowwwwlllllyyyy after you’re pronounced husband & wife! If y’all just give each other a peck, it will be hard to capture on camera. You don’t need to have a full on make-out session, but a nice 5 second kiss never hurt anybody. 5) Toss some vitamin C/Emergen-C and other vitamins into your honeymoon bags. And start dosing up a week or two before the wedding! Make sure to save this post to reference again during your wedding planning process!
