Russell and Sarah | Portland Engagement Photography

The evening was perfect for a session like this one.  The sun is setting during most of these photographs, and you can see the light was intense and they almost appear to be glowing from the natural light!   The location is Sauvie’s Island, which I adore because it feels so refreshing and secluded yet it is only a 15 minute drive from downtown Portland,  it is well worth the excursion out there.

These two were so comfortable in front of the camera, in fact I think they just sort of knew instinctively how to connect while being photographed.  Confession: I was really worried as the sun set beneath the distant hills.  The light just kept on changing every few minutes for another hour or so, it was pretty amazing to see how versatile that natural light can be at post sunset.

Russell and Sarah, I look forward to photographing your wedding coming up in October!  Hope you enjoy the sneak peak from your engagement session.

Rebecca Wow Gina! The lighting in these photos is especially impressive, the various moods and arrangement of your subjects equally so. You chose an awesome time and location to take these shots. I love these pictures for the richness and variety of feeling between the couple they display, describing artfully but an instant of time, yet in that instant, saying so very much. Really fine quality work in every respect. I admire them for many reasons…. I imagine that many couples would want you to take their photos after seeing these. Just beautiful.
