{Engagement!} Amber & Ben's (Downtown Portland) 3rd and final Engagement Shoot!

Share|

TAAA DAAAAA! :)

Amber & Ben, once again, are being blogged!

I say "once again" because this is the third time Josh and I had the pleasure of photographing them!

Here is a brief summary of every "postable" shoot we've done! 

(I said postable since there is one set of images (from Amber's dress fitting) which Ben cannot see!)

• We met up for their "first shoot" on a camping trip in the woods near Mt Adams, sometime in July 2009. I put "first shoot" in quotes because it was more of an impromptu shoot, not planned, but super fun nonetheless! After all, camping in the woods is what Amber and Ben are all about, and we love to join them when we have time! Giant bonfire, a beautiful stream and peaceful woods! See those photos here :)

• The first "official" engagement shoot, was last September 2009. The mood of it was autumnal, corn fields and vineyards. We visited David Hill Winery in September of 2009 and then stopped at a fun-looking field of mature corn, right as the sun was beginning to set. It was a gorgeous day! See those photos here :)

• The second "official" engagement shoot, was this past January 2010. We joined them over an exceptionally sunny weekend, at Lincoln City and then Pacific Beach, on the Oregon coast. In this shoot, we were finally able to include their labradoodle Luke! So fun running around the beach at sun set and then again the next day, overlooking our gorgeous coastline! See these photos here :)

Now that we are all caught up with Amber & Ben's year-long photographic adventures... here are a handful of their LATEST and last engagement shoot! I say last simply because their wedding is right around the corner! WOW!

This latest shoot was intended to have a very urban and city-life feel to it. I think we hit the nail right in the head with it! :) We met up this past July 8th 2010 and drove to multiple downtown Portland locations. It was awesome! We can't wait for their wedding day!
