Rain can’t stop us. We shot these engagement photos Downtown Portland on one of my favorite streets for shooting photos, just outside the Ace Hotel. Even with full on rain, there are a handful of sick spots to grab some frames. Dan + Rachel brought it for their engagement photos and we’re just getting warmed up. Their wedding at the Benson Hotel is just around the corner.




I would be totally alright if all engagement sessions wrapped up at Por Que No.

Ally + Darrell were married on New Years Eve and had an awesome industrial wedding in The Pearl District.  Being the middle of Winter, we photographed all of their portraits after dark and had a blast.

We started out with their first look at The Nines.

Ally is a writer.  They asked their guest to circle sentences that will remind them of their wedding day.

It was the first time I’ve seen a preacher say “Now you can kiss the bride and tweet about it!”  Ally + Darrell have an awesome semi-online dating story and Darrell is a social media consultant.

Love Portland’s awesome Pedicabies.

We were recently honored to be featured on Junebug Wedding’s Phenomenal Photography; Stunning Black and White Bridal Portraits post. It’s awesome being featured along side with so many great photographers!

Below are a few more favorite Black and White’s.

Godwin asked his girlfriend Cathy to marry him at the Rhododendron Garden in Portland… and I was there to photograph the whole thing go down (under the guise of an avid birder).


While they currently live in Boston, these guys were in Portland for just the day to revisit their dating stomping grounds. Godwin was a champ, secretly coordinating with me beforehand to make sure we got photos at all their favorite spots.




Fist bumps of love.
