Matt + Megan | Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

If you saw my last blog post about visiting a friend in Oregon last month you'll know that I got to do a couple portrait sessions while I was out there! This wasn't my first time in Oregon, but if you couldn't tell I'm kind of in love with it and am always looking for excuses to go back :)

Luckily I was able to take advantage of the gorgeous landscape and do some portraits at the Columbia River Gorge! And to make it even better, I had an absolutely amazing couple to photograph!! Megan and Matt are married and judging by this portrait session even more in love than their wedding day. These two were just effortless in front of the camera having fun with each other, laughing, but then also able to snuggle up for some more romantic and intimate moments. Basically it doesn't get much better than this! Super fun couple and gorgeous locations is all I can ask for really! I already can't wait to get back out to the PNW and photograph more couples in even more epic locations :)

Jason + Mel | Windy Oregon Coast | Cape Kiwanda, OR

Last month I went out to Oregon to visit a good photographer friend, and I got to photograph some pretty cool couples while I was there! The first couple was Mel and Jason who met us out on the coast for an evening portrait session. This all seemed easy and innocent enough, until a storm came up fast and almost blew us away. I have never been scared for our safety on a shoot before until this one!

I have always loved the rugged Oregon coast, but when you're trying to take portraits in probably 60 mph wind gusts?! That's a just a little too rugged. Unfortunately we had to cut the session short, before we were blown off a cliff, but we had one crazy adventure and got some beautiful portraits before trying to make our way back through one of the craziest storms I have ever been in! I always love couples that are adventurous and willing to go the extra mile to get gorgeous portraits, and clearly Mel and Jason are one of my favorites!
