An Oregon Coast Elopement

Kristy 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.

Around Iceland's Ring Road

Each year my husband and I pick one or two places to travel to internationally to check off our list. Places like New Zealand, Japan, Germany and Italy sit high on that list, however Iceland for us was at the top. From the beginning, we knew we wanted to drive the entire island in a camper van. It would give us the opportunity and flexibility to see all of Iceland, on our time, and our terms.

A Memorial Day Road Trip to the Southern Oregon Coast

I travelled to the southern Oregon coast and parts of northern California to kick-off the Summer camping season, which generally starts in the Pacific Northwest around Memorial Day. Highlights include stacks of sea cliffs, views of where the forest meet the sea in mossy orchestras, painted sorbet sunsets on Harris Beach, and large redwood trees growing hundreds of feet towards the sky.

A Sunset Cascade Locks Wedding

I had the pleasure to work with talented Portland, Oregon based vendors to capture a sunset styled wedding shoot around the quaint city of Cascade Locks, in a beautiful location right off the Columbia River Gorge. Special shoutout to all the amazing talent that took part in making the evening a success!

Giving Back to Public Lands

While writing a letter to your representatives is one step of many to share our concerns and our love for our public lands. Today, I wanted to share a few other ways to help give back to public lands in your very own backyards. Cheers to your continued support to keep our public lands beautiful.
