Kara and Daniel booked me last year. We’ve been putting off taking their engagement photos because they really wanted to have them done in the snow. Unfortunately, Portland winter weather didn’t play nice and give us a nice fluffy white snow storm to play in, so we did the next best thing and enjoyed the cherry blossoms down on the waterfront…

It almost looks like snow, doesn’t it?
These two are so sweet together. A lot of my couples aren’t huge fans of PDA, but by the end of the session, its easier for them to forget that I’m there and just enjoy lovin’ on each other. In fact, my favorite part of an engagement session is when the couple not only forgets that I’m there right in front of them, but they seem to be completely unaware of everything and everyone around them. As if nothing else in the world matters more than the person in front of them. I see that with Kara and Daniel. The two of them have this still quietness between them, and during our session I caught them sharing a sweet whisper or a silent look that produced smiles I’m sure only they can give each other. At the end of summer, they will be married in front of friends and family at Skamania Lodge on the Columbia River. I honestly couldn’t think of a more spectacular location for these two to start their lives together. I can’t wait to be able to document it for them, so when they share one of their sweet quiet moments thirty years down the road, they will have beautiful photos to remind them how perfect their wedding day was.

Wow, what a beautiful set of images! I particularly like that 5th one of them walking down the street together. It’s really playful and fun. I also LOVE the 19th one with them on the bench where she is kissing him on the cheek. The composition is really fun and I like all of the lines of the bridge behind them.
