I met with Katie and Daniel this Summer on Sauvie Island while they were in town on a visit.  It was fun to get to know them while we explored the orchards and fields of flowers, and I am really looking forward to photographing their Mt. Hood wedding this Spring!

There are a lot of farm-like wedding venues out there, but the fact that Nikki & Barney were married on his parent’s farm made this such a sweet wedding. Barney grew up here, moved to Seattle for college & to start his career, and recently moved back with plans to run the farm.  Not only is this land a gorgeous natural setting, but it holds deep emotional meaning to them as well. Plus, the place is so big that we took their engagement photos here in the Spring, and used completely different locations each time! Nikki did an amazing job of planning many thoughtful, rustic, DIY details. After their creek-side ceremony, everyone enjoyed the “dessert extravaganza” under the oak trees with cookies, cakes, pies, & ice-cream!

Call it a garden, call it a farm—-I call it AWESOME! Stephanie & Brandon cultivate a lot of gorgeous vegetables & flowers on about an acre of land on Sauvie Island outside Portland. This has been their labor of love for nearly the past year, so it was only natural to shoot their engagement session there, and I am so glad we did. Their joy for farming & each other is completely infectious, and their talents are evident by the abundance of beets, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, melons, beans,  squash, and a few other exotic things I can’t remember the name of! If you’d like to try their crops for yourself, you can buy directly from them at the St. John’s farmer’s market. Trust me, they are delicious (we got to eat just about everything you see in this shoot)!

Nicole & Barney are planning an August wedding on his family’s grass-seed farm in the Willamette Valley. It seemed natural to shoot their engagement photos there as well, given that the place is huge and there is no way we could take full advantage of all it has to offer on the day of the wedding. Enjoying a quiet evening outside the city for this shoot was so refreshing! We can’t wait to be back to capture their wedding in this gorgeous setting.

Heidi & Jonnathan’s wedding was full of DIY flourishes that enhanced the already charming setting at Postlewait’s Farm. The bride made many of the decorations as well as some really cool clutch’s for her bridesmaids to carry instead of a traditional bouquet.   To see more of her big ideas and creative designs, check out her blog: Unabashed Bliss. It was a gorgeous day for a celebration under the towering oak trees, surrounded by the fields of the Willamette Valley. We were even treated to an amazing sunset, complete with rainbow to round out the evening!

We met Heidi & Jonnathan on a beautiful summer evening for their engagement photos at their wedding venue, Postlewait’s Farm. Couples usually choose a different location for their engagement photos, but Postlewait’s was a great choice! We love the relaxed, summery feel this working farm brings to the images. Heidi and Jonnathan also seemed to enjoy it quite a bit as well! There’s a whole lot more photo-goodness to be had here and we are really looking forward to their wedding next week!
