Sara and Galym contacted me last summer shortly after they got engaged, to photograph their wedding which will be at one of my faaavorite venues in Colorado, The Riverbend in Lyons.
Which is so very conveniently located exactly 7 miles from my house :0) and easily one of the most beautiful venues in the state. If you’ve ever visited the Lyons Farmette, it may come as a surprise that the Riverbend, came from the devastating floods of 2013. Something so beautiful from such a natural disaster.
It really is something to behold.
These two would be spending Labor Day with their families in Portland, Oregon, where Galym’s father attended Louis and Clark College, and asked if I’d like to join them for their engagement session.
My answer was clearly a yes, and this is one of my favorite sessions to date. We spent the entire day (an absolutely perfect weather day) exploring the grounds of the stunning college campus then ventured up to the Oneonta Gorge.
juuuust breathtaking.
i mean, can we all just take a moment to appreciate all of the moss?
and that view of Mt. Hood from the common area of the campus.
it’s too much pretty.
Sara + Galym and their AMAZING families were so wonderful and I’m going to have the best time capturing their big day,
I can’t wait for their wedding this July!

Wow, what an incredible location! It’s such a contrast to the Colorado landscape.
So green. So gorgeous. I can’t say enough about how much I love these images!
Looooooove!!! Portland so gorgeous and the fact that you captured this on a sunny day makes my heart sing. The one time I went it was gloomy and rainy (I love the rain though). Gorgeous images and congratulations to the happy couple!
Wow, what an incredible campus! And yes, Oregon is Beautiful!! Glad you go to explore there 🙂
Oh my gosh! Oregon is on my bucket list! You killed this shoot! Every detail is stunning, such an awesome job!
LOVE the Stone and Moss wall shots and the water shots (them standing in water)– so so pretty!! I just went to Portland- and I know what you mean about the Moss!! It;s crazy awesome!!!! Beautiful work!
