Happy holiday season! These last two years have been something else, but I am so very thankful for each of the moments I shared and spent with my clients. 2021 was one filled with more elopements, micro weddings, backyard wedding, as well as many captured memories of newborns from past clients. I feel so honored when clients allow me to capture different chapters of their life.

South Sister is the third tallest peak in Oregon, standing at 10, 358 feet behind Mt Hood at 11,250 feet and Mount Jefferson at 10,495 feet. South Sister is nestled among the cascade mountain of the Three Sisters, which also includes Middle and North Sisters.

It was my first time to photograph a wedding at sunrise and a stay overnight at the lodge.

The world went into lockdown overnight and we were distant from our loved ones, neighbors, and friends. This year, Anchor and Pine saw a lot of changes where larger weddings shifted to micro weddings and elopements. There were many rescheduled shoots, so to fill time, I started to document time spent at home around my community honoring health care heroes daily and celebrating birthdays in alley ways, safely outdoors.
Read MoreKristy and Logan have travelled the world together. Fate brought these two together while touring across Europe years ago. The day of their elopement was special. There was a sense of spontaneity and relaxation to it all. The location on the Oregon coast was decided a couple days before and the spontaneity of their “up-for-anything” attitude made the shoot fun. They ended their elopement shoot with a backdrop of Cannon Beach, a glow of sunset, and a run into the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean as newlyweds.
