Oregon Cascades Couple Session | PNW Photographer

There’s something special about Oregon in late summer—when the grass glows golden and the mountains wear just a touch of snow. This couples session with T+T reminded me exactly why I love photographing in the Oregon wilderness.

These two brought the best energy—playful, gentle, and totally in sync with one another. We started just before golden hour near the shore, where the light danced across the water and gave everything that warm, glowy feel I’m always chasing for the perfect photos. 

They kicked off their shoes and wandered barefoot through the creek, exploring as if it were just the two of them. From sweet forehead kisses to full-on giggles and running through the water, this shoot captured their love in the most relaxed and joyful way. I kept my direction super minimal to let the connection between them lead the session.

If you're dreaming of a natural, romantic, and peaceful setting for your own couples or engagement photos—I have handfuls of stunning locations up my sleeves. Between the mountain views, the still water, and the fields that feel straight out of a postcard, it’s a perfect place to slow down and soak up the beauty together.

Thinking about doing your own adventure session somewhere in the PNW? I’m always down to hike, explore, and help you plan something that feels 100% like you.
