Portland Oregon Wedding and Portrait Photographer
What better time to do engagement pictures then spring? Tulips, daffodils and (sometimes) sunshine! Here are the engagement pictures of Shanelle and Shawn at Portland, below.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jillian and Desi in Portland where they were getting ready to move to Istanbul, Turkey. Their wedding will be in Portland in the summer, but we decided that I would do their engagement pictures in Istanbul. They are a lovely couple, teaching at a very prestigious American high school in Turkey. Interestingly, the person who hired them, Whitman Sheppard, was also my math teacher in another American high school in Istanbul, Turkiye.
We went to many fun places: Sultan Ahmet Mosque, Yerebatan Sarayi (underground cistern), Hagia Sofia (Aya Sofya). I had done another Istanbul fashion shoot around those areas, so I looked for new places. It was a great coincidence that a friend of mine from blues dancing was also in Istanbul at the time and she came to assist me as well! We ended the night by going to Ortakoy and me introducing them to various foods like kumpir (baked stuffed potatoes), and mussel dolma (stuffed mussels) as seen at Anthony Bourdain’s episode about Turkey.
I am very excited to shoot their wedding. It will be coordinated by Champagne Weddings!

I had a chance to do a beautiful engagement pictures session with Debbie and Mike. We were in the Laurelhurst Park area and stopped by Stumptown Coffee as well (one of the best coffee in the country!).
We had a great time shooting Jenn and Sean in the North East quadrant of Portland. We headed to the small rose garden at Peninsula City Park. Then off to Mississippi Ave. for some fun in the sun!
We had a lot of fun in Tanner Springs Park in Portland’s Pearl District. It’s such a cool little park with a spring literally popping out of of the ground and meandering to a koi pond.

We had a lot of fun taking engagement photos on Portland’s East side waterfront. They even brought their doggie, who got to make an appearance in some of the photos!

We had a lot of fun shooting in several locations around Portland. We started in the NW Pearl District and ended up at the Alberta arts district. There was even an appearance by a funky old Cadillac.

We found a sweet trail in the woods of Forest Park to take Rashree and Anthony to. The rain was coming down a bit more than we like so we headed to the Nines Hotel to capture some great images of the two in one of their favorite spots.
