Cathedral Park
It was very icy at Cathedral Park when I met up with Jessalin, Kevin, and their adorable dog Eddie -- kids in the neighborhood were having a great time packing down the snow with their sleds and snowboards. So it was a festive atmosphere, but a little tough to get around. We still had a great time, though, and Eddie got to show off his adorable scarf, so it was all good. I can't wait for their wedding this summer!
How stinking cute are these two? It's been pretty rainy in Portland, Oregon, lately, so it took us a few weeks to get a day with reasonable weather. We worked it out, though, and I think it was worth the wait. Looking forward to their 2017 wedding!
This lovely couple drove all the way up to Portland from Eugene for a little engagement photography session in NoPo’s beautiful Cathedral Park, and I’m so glad they did! One of the things Signe and I had chatted about before the shoot was that she and Aaron are big readers, so they wanted to incorporate some books into the session. They brought along some beautifully-bound copies of a couple of their favorites and we had a little fun. The shots of them reading beneath the St. John’s Bridge are some of my favorites! Congratulations, you two, on your engagement and your graduations — best of luck with the big move and starting your life together! It sounds like it’s going to be epic.
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately in beautiful Cathedral Park, under the iconic St. John’s Bridge in North Portland, and I can’t say I’m tired of it yet. Maybe it’s because every time I go there, there’s a beautiful new spot in bloom, or that I somehow hadn’t noticed before (like the lovely white flowers in the photo above), or maybe it’s because every time I visit I get to spend time with new lovely photography clients. It could also be the great light and that handsome bridge. At any rate, Meagan and Cody drove down from Seattle to visit their venue, taste some cake, and spend a couple hours with me and my camera in the lovely golden-hour light. I hope they had as much fun in their visit as I had shooting with them!
I’ll admit it: at first, I didn’t really understand why Joel and Kelley were getting married at 9:27 in the morning. It just seemed so early. But they were carrying the Pi Day wedding theme to the last decimal they could – 3.14.15, 9:27am – and you just have to admire that kind of commitment. So I met up with them (and Joel’s lovely parents) at Portland’s beautiful Cathedral Park bright and early so that we could take some photos before the ceremony. It was rainy and a little bit chilly, but the light was just right and the happy couple were just adorable. I was honored to be a part of their beautifully intimate wedding ceremony. And afterwards, when they went off to have a delicious celebratory lunch at Salty’s, I went home and took a nap. So a pretty perfect day all around. Congratulations, you two!
This is a first for me: two lovely maternity sessions with two lovely sisters in two short weeks! I had a fantastic time with Holly’s sister Leia and her family just a few weeks ago, so I was really excited to meet up with Holly and Jake in Portland’s gorgeous Cathedral Park. Portland treated us to a beautiful spring-like February afternoon and I got to take pictures of these two being adorable. So lots of winning, is what I’m saying.
