From the groom: I never imagined that any of my teenage dreams would come true, let alone my dream of marrying my high school sweetheart. From the moment I laid my eyes on her, I knew she would be the one that would forever change my life. And, if I might add, she has changed my life for the better. For many years Crystal and I had dreamed about the idea of marriage. We planned about our future home with children and how we would grow old together. Unfortunately, in the midst of our dreams, we had news that would change our lives forever. When we heard the diagnosis that Crystal had breast cancer at such a young age, our dreams were put on hold to fight for her life. We battled and had an up and down fight, but Crystal finally won! After 8 years of loving my girl, through all the pain, and a hard fight with breast cancer, I knew it was finally time to take hold of our dreams of marriage and a family that we had put aside.
My plan to propose was simple, but stealthy. I contacted her aunt and asked if she would take us out to a field and take photos. I posed to Crystal that her aunt just wanted to “try out her new camera.” But in reality, I wanted to have the moment when I get down on one knee and ask Crystal to be my wife. The day we went out, it was a beautiful spring day with the flowers for miles. Now, I do want to mention that I had the whole event planned out, but none of the plan happened. Ten minutes into our “photo shoot” I couldn’t contain my composure as my nerves had been getting to me. Before it was time, I dropped down to one knee and the question had come out, “Will you marry me?” To my surprise, she (and I) was absolutely shocked! She had no clue that I would pop the question! But without a beat, she answered, “Yes!” My heart pumped at one million beats per minute and everything was blurred. I couldn’t come back to my senses and even put the ring on her finger. I would almost say I was in shock, but to more accurately put it, I was in complete awe. The day and my proposal could not have been more perfect. I can’t wait for the day to come, to give our vows before our family and friends and officially become Husband and Wife.

I need this wedding to take up more space on my grid, because it was just phenomenal. Cape Horn Estate SCREAMED of natural beauty and incredible landscaping with the mountain view of the Columbia Gorge and the brilliant florals that surrounded the entire property. It is unmatched with its unique and jaw-dropping scenes.
But far past the beauty of the estate, MacKenzie and Dan just shined with their love for each other and their family&friends all day long. Their focus was on the beauty if the environment and their love for adventure.
Minus the sunburn, I would do it ALL over again just to rewatch their unhindered joy shine everywhere.

I only deliver about 5% OR LESS in black and white. But when they make their appearance, they are chosen with intention and lots of love. These little gems from Morgan & Cole`s dreamy engagement session spoke to me in an extra special way that felt even better completely colorless.
Something about black and white just makes the energy change and my eyes to see a completely different part of an image compared to full color. I really love it.

I have waited TWO YEARS for someone to finally let me take them up to my favorite place... and WOW it did not disapoint.
Moulton Falls Is one of the most incredible spaces that I have been to. I`m not sure if its the unreal teal-colored water or the serenity thats washes over every inch of the space, but it makes me stop and just stare every which way I turn. Its beauty called to me since the first time I visited and I`m FINALLY able to share a few images that reflect its beauty with this amazing pair for their engagement session.
Morgan & Cole showed up ready for anything and they made magic. They traversed the rocky terrain with more grace and romance than I could have imagined and turned this session into their engagement fairytale. I`m so impressed with them! Just keep swiping and see what I mean.
I just cant decide which image is my favorite. Once again, I`m giddy with these two and how their pictures came together.
