Portland City View Engagement | Rachel & Joe

A Portland City View Engagement Session 

Rachel and Joe’s Portland city view engagement session on the top of a downtown parking garage offered stunning city views, making it the perfect backdrop for their modern love story. If you’re searching for an engagement session that beautifully captures Portland’s urban charm, you’ve come to the right place!

As we planned for the shoot, Rachel and Joe had a clear vision: They wanted to showcase a beautiful and vibrant side of Portland while highlighting their own love story. Opting for the rooftop location allowed us to achieve just that, with the cityscape providing an awe-inspiring setting for their engagement photos.

Schedule Your Session for the Best Time of Day

Timing was key, and we scheduled Rachel & Joe’s engagement session during the magical moments before sunset on a bright and sunny day. Bathed in warm, golden sunshine, the city came alive, as only summertime Portland will.

Another option that would be equally beautiful and maybe a bit softer: Schedule your engagement session at dawn. I know – it’s early! I’m not a morning person but waking up before the sun can make for some really beautiful and soft engagement portraits.

Wear What You Feel Best In

To ensure a modern and varied vibe, Rachel and Joe brought multiple wardrobe options. Their fashion-forward choices ranged from trendy casual to sleek and sophisticated, showcasing their individual styles and creating a diverse collection of images that truly reflects their personalities as a couple.

After the shoot, I carefully curated and edited the best shots to create a gallery that showcased Rachel and Joe’s love story against the gorgeous backdrop of Portland’s cityscape. The result? A stunning visual narrative that is sure to resonate with those seeking a modern engagement session in Portland.

Rachel and Joe were thrilled with the final images. They effortlessly captured the essence of their love amidst breathtaking city views, ranking this engagement session as a must-see for couples looking to showcase their romance against Portland’s urban charm. As a photographer, it was an honor to capture their special moments and create a Portland city view engagement session to inspire future clients.

Yesterday felt like a dream. Tippy and Nate’s wedding at Timberline Lodge was one of the most peaceful, joy-filled, and magically timed days I’ve ever had the honor of documenting.

The moment we walked into the getting-ready suite, there were friends napping, someone softly strumming an acoustic guitar, and steamy excerpts being read from a romance novel—pure calm and intention.

The day flowed effortlessly. Family portraits were ahead of schedule, the light was stunning, and every moment felt filled with warmth.

During dinner, Nate casually joined the jazz band on drums (as one does), and then we wandered onto the mountain for the most incredible golden hour portraits. It was slow, cinematic, and absolutely perfect.

Tippy & Nate, thank you for including us in your beautiful wedding at Timberline Lodge. 💕

The first time I visited the Pantheon in Rome it was on accident. I stumbled across a colossal building while wandering the alleys and piazzas and figured I should check it out.

There was no line, no tickets, no crowd. The entire experience felt a little surreal.

Ten years later I visit again and now you need tickets to get inside. The sea of people out front is dense with tour guides and panhandling. A little of that magic stolen away.

So the trick is, for the exterior anyway, to visit at dawn. Catch this beauty before the crowds wake up, while the sun stretches over the rooftops to light up the solid marble pillars in golden light.

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, or honeymoon in Rome, Italy I’d be honored to be your guide and photographer. I can bring you to all the best views and historic locations and know of an excellent private tour guide who can share the history of these beautiful places.
