Hi, come in. This is where I share the full stories behind the sessions, and if you read enough of them, you'll start to notice something: a lot of the same names keep showing up. Engagements turn into weddings turn into maternity sessions turn into family photos with three kids and a dog. After fifteen years of this work, my favorite thing is that I rarely get to say goodbye to anyone. I just get to see them again in a new chapter. These are those chapters.

Allie & Ryan | A Wedding at Gorge Retreat in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Gorge Retreat is a private eight-acre property overlooking the Columbia River, ten minutes from Hood River, and it is one of the most spectacular places I have ever photographed a wedding. Allie and Ryan got married on a dock at the edge of a spring-fed pond, with the Gorge rising behind them, surrounded by people who love them — including a bridesmaid party with a story I will never forget.
