Anna & Brian | Columbia River Gorge Engagement

This session was really special for me. Anna and Brian, who are from the Midwest just like me, were wanting something unique and unforgettable for their engagement photos. They went the extra mile by flying out to Oregon for a week-long vacation, specifically to have me capture their precious moments amidst the beauty of Oregon. Fast forward to nine months later, I traveled to the Midwest to photograph their wedding celebration. Witnessing the joy of a Anna and Brian experiencing the wonders of Oregon was a truly extraordinary and heartwarming experience.

The Columbia River Gorge holds a special place in my heart, and it's one of those places that makes you feel alive. From jaw-dropping hikes and awe-inspiring sightseeing to indulging in the finest wine tastings, chasing waterfalls, and exploring breweries, it's a true paradise for adventurous souls! The Gorge is one of the most scenic engagement and wedding locations in the Oregon.
