Published: Ruffled blog and Southbound Bride

We get a lot of shoots published on wedding blogs, and I'm sooo bad at staying on top of them and sharing the features! (I haven't even figured out how to repost on Instagram, yeah, embarrassing). 

  To "Catch up" so to speak- enjoy these two recent features from Southbound Bride and one of our favs, Ruffled blog. Both are super gorg and the team who put them together deserves a hearty round of applause.

Portland Engagement Photos: Powell Butte

Portland Engagement photos are one of my favorite shoot sessions. There are so many gorgeous locations to shoot in Portland for your Portland engagement session. If you're looking for rustic, romantic outdoor engagement photos- then Powell Butte is your spot. It's like stepping into a wild-life reserve, minus the wildlife. I always secretly imagine that Johnny Appleseed planted the orchard at the top of the Butte. Who knows? Maybe he did! 

  Our styled engagement shoots include a double makeover for the bride and styling props from the studio. Can you tell the difference between the digital and film images?

Q+A: Are you Comfortable Shooting Indoors?

Because we show work that's primarily photographed with natural light, I frequently get asked whether I'm comfortable shooting indoors. 

  The answer is yes. :) We have shot in every wedding venue imaginable in often very unfavorable lighting conditions. It's our job to make your event shine despite the season :) We will always hunt for gorgeous light, but when it's not available, magic still happens. 

When we don't have a readily available natural light source (i.e. windows) we often use on or off-camera flashes. Here's a mixed group of work to give you an idea of what your Indoor lighting would look like as a finished product. :)

  Thank you to each of these beautiful couples from winter weddings 2015/2016!
