Oregon Coast Engagement Photos // Emily & Andrew

It's so fun working with couples who live all over but are getting married in Maine. I was lucky to photograph Emily & Andrew on the Oregon Coast recently. Even though it rained during their session, this was one of my favorite engagement adventures ever! Such a cute couple, and that overcast light was so dreamy!

Fort Williams Engagement Photos

Good ol' Fort Williams for the engagement photos win. Charlotte & Dan lucked out with a mild wintery day, and we had a blast exploring the Maine coast for their engagement session!

Maine Couples Session

This job may require lots of time on a computer, but it always redeems itself when I get to explore the Maine woods. Last week Malorrie, Jared and I walked around the Cathance River Preserve for their couple's session, and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was.

Purely documentary photography is always my goal in these sessions, but it can be hard to hold back on giving any direction at all - stop here for a second, ooh see that pretty light? let's go over there, why don't you two hold hands? For this session though, I didn't interfere with them at all, just let them explore the woods and enjoy being together. I followed them around like they were forest creatures and I was some kind of wildlife photographer. Ha. And I think it turned out just perfectly.

Mackworth Island Engagement

Kat & Nate's Maine engagement adventure was straight out of a fairy-tale, and I'm not just saying that. Mackworth Island is a magical place - the forest there is full of fairy houses! It was the perfect adventure spot for these two dreamy actors, and I'm so excited to photograph their theater wedding in Maine next fall. 

Press play.

Providence Engagement Adventure

This was possibly the best idea ever. Or maybe 2nd to the pop-up dance party Kara hosted last year and that Rene attended and that started this amazing whirlwind of an adventure they're on together. I'm so glad Kara & Rene were up for meeting me at 6am on a Sunday to explore Providence while the city slept! SO MUCH MAGIC. 

Their wedding in a couple months is going to be literally the best. I cannot wait to photograph and share the wonderful surprises they have in store!

April has been a good month. I photographed my first engagement session in Maine, and bought a house in the woods on a lake in Maine that same day. I met Erin and Tyler at a wedding I photographed last year, and I'm so excited to call them friends now. Knowing that awesome, sweet, laid-back, creative people like them will live nearby makes me more excited to move! These two love birds are musicians, and I think they know how to throw a kickass wedding celebration. Can't wait for their fun, outdoor wedding next summer!
