The headline might say it all, but my team got to capture another amazing set of photos at the Oregon Coast. For anyone who has been around for a while, you know my heart partly belongs on the Oregon Coast. The landscape is so unique and varied, it perfectly complimented our engagement shoot for the same couple a few days after their proposal. Such a cool opportunity.
Surprise Proposal on the Oregon Coast
It all started with an incredible surprise proposal! Brandon planned the perfect proposal for Justin on the stunning Oregon coast, and my team was honored to document the moment. With the help of tmInspired associate Kris O., we captured the joy of Justin’s “yes” on the cliffside overlooking Oregon Coast water. Then, the boys and Kris got to go down onto the beach for a little session!
Continuing the Story at Mount Rainier
Just two days later, I joined Brandon and Justin in the Mount Rainier wilderness to complete their engagement story. I loved that they picked two spots that are so completely PNW. Since they were coming in from out of town, they trusted what they saw in my portfolio and chose locations based off of our recommendations. This session spoke to them for where they wanted to go in Mount Rainier. We got to enjoy some of the wildflowers that were still out and about, and of course the mountain showed off for us. It’s important when going to Mount Rainier for your engagement shoot that you study what the conditions may be like as it has its own weather system.
Trust and Teamwork in Every Moment
This was a first for our team—two sessions with the same couple within days! It was incredible to see how seamlessly Kris’s stunning coastal photos blended with the mountain session, creating a cohesive and heartfelt portfolio for Brandon and Justin. Seeing our clients trust us to document these life-changing moments is a privilege we don’t take lightly.
We loved the opportunity to capture these special moments for Brandon and Justin and can’t wait to see where their love story takes them!
