Now that I am back in the Pacific Northwest and living in Oregon I have been loving all the very green, forest photography opportunities! When Tess and Hunter said they wanted to do their engagement session in the iconic Forest Park in Portland, Oregon I was so excited!
I used to go to college in Portland and took full advantage of weekends to explore the forest right outside my classroom, so I knew just where to take these two!
If you know Northeast Portland then you are definitely familiar with St. John's Bridge. In my opinion, it is the most gorgeous bridge in the Pacific Northwest. The views from our engagement session looked out onto the bridge, and then winds into the thick ferns and incredibly tall trees.
I wanted to highlight these two in the forest but also their calm and relaxed personalities. I think those two elements really came together for their session!
