Columbia Gorge Waterfall Engagement Session

All Posts

Columbia Gorge Waterfall Engagement Session. I don’t care what TLC says – I will forever be chasing waterfalls.

The gorge has always had a special place in my heart – especially after we almost got married just down the street from where this session took place. Long story short about that: We were supposed to have our wedding at Bridal Veil Lakes. Unfortunately, the Eagle Creek Fire kept us from doing so. We were displaced from our venue just a couple of weeks prior to our date. Luckily, the venue was saved from the fire and we still had an incredible wedding day. Nathan and I are looking forward to the day when we will head back. Possibly for a vow renewal? I’m here for it.

Back to these cuties and their engagement session! Stephanie and Kyle are located in the Portland area. Leading up to their wedding date, we set up their engagement session. These photos were perfect for their save the dates, invitations, and they framed some to use as decor on their wedding day, too. I love to see it!

Waterfalls are so dramatic and powerful. It’s incredibly exhilarating to stand in front of one, simply allowing the mist to fall on and all around you. It is quite the feeling!

We decided to go on an adventure for their engagement session to a waterfall in the woods. The particular waterfall we chose is called Dry Creek Falls. About 4.5 miles roundtrip and an elevation gain of nearly 900ft. It gets your blood pumping without exhausting you completely.

After our shoot was over, we headed back down the trail to our cars. I saw the beauty on our way up the trail and had a mental note about what the light must look like heading back. That gut feeling I had wasn’t wrong! I didn’t put my camera away as we walked back down so I could be ready. We got gorgeous sunset light poking through the trees. I realized then how much I seriously love this trail. It was simply a perfect way to celebrate love and new beginnings.

Especially in the PNW, our wedding season is VERY condensed. Compared to SoCal, which has a longer wedding season since they have better weather for much longer than we do. 😂
-
I can only be in so many places at once. (Well, one place, obvi haha.) So the fact that I can now rely on a team of trusted photographers to work on my behalf + rock a wedding day as thoughtfully as I would, has been an absolute GAME CHANGER.

I’m so grateful for the couples who trust in my team to document their most precious memories. All we want to do is document love stories so the fact that my business can do MORE of that makes my heart feel so full. 🥹💛

🥳 TEN YEARS. 🥳 - Ten years ago today, I phot 🥳 TEN YEARS. 🥳

Ten years ago today, I photographed my very first wedding as a lead photographer.
-
To be completely honest? It ended up being a terrible experience. One that almost lead me to quit photography all together.
-
I thought today would be a good day to summarize the story because I never have publicly before. 🙈
-
Psst! Swipe to see some photos from my first wedding. ✨🤗

I was in over my head with little experience to have the sole responsibility. I took on the lead role sooner than I should’ve. I was being mentored by a wedding photographer and had assisted a few weddings prior. But only a few. I barely knew how to use my camera and had only lead a few sessions with my friends + family. Definitely not the experienced required for the role a wedding day needs.
-
I relied too much on my second photographer. I had a more experienced 2nd, but she had to leave halfway through and left me hanging to fend for myself. Shit happens but this was NOT the day for me to manage that, haha.
-
The excitement for my first wedding overruled my caution. Miscommunications happened from the start. I had a contract, and openly shared with the couple that it was my first wedding, etc. All the things you should do. But post-processing was not discussed and a few mishaps day-of lead to disappointment.
-
I did it for free. I didn’t charge them anything. You would think that there would be extra grace and the knowledge that there is room for improvement, but for some reason when you charge zero dollars and zero cents for your services, you’re less appreciated. Other business owners might have similar stories and it’s super weird.
