Engagement Photography in Portland and all around Oregon

There's something I particularly enjoy about engagement sessions: we have time. Nobody needs to get to a ceremony, there aren't twenty relatives waiting for family portraits, and we can spend an extra ten minutes somewhere simply because the light is interesting.

We'll talk beforehand about what you have in mind, and I'll help with locations, timing, and what to do in front of the camera. Some couples arrive with plenty of ideas; others would prefer that I take the lead. Either works. I want you to recognize yourselves in the photographs, not feel like you're performing for them.

The woman has shoulder-length dark hair and is wearing a dark top, touching her face with her left hand. The man has short dark hair and is wearing a dark sweater, holding a mug in his right hand. They are smiling and looking towards the right side of the image.

Inquire about your engagement session

I photograph engagement sessions around Portland, the Oregon Coast, along Columbia River Gorge, Mt Hood area and wherever else makes sense for you.

The location doesn't have to be spectacular or even particularly scenic. Sometimes a familiar neighborhood, a favorite place to spend an afternoon, or somewhere you've always wanted to visit is a much better choice.
