Doug & Amanda's Portland Temple Wedding | Portland Wedding Photographer, Kari Rae Photography

Doug & Amanda are back! After their absolutely heavenly pre-wedding session, I could hardly wait to photograph their wedding day.

These two are beautiful. They are passionate about each other, adventurous together, constantly making one another laugh, and they manage to bring a sense of peace with them everywhere. It's a joy to be around them and I was so blessed to be a part of their day. 

We started out at the Portland Temple, where we met them outside right after their ceremony. They were greeted by their family & friends who cheered to celebrate the newlyweds, and then proceeded to take some beautiful images there before the reception at her parent's beautiful home. What. A. Day. And an awesome one, at that. 

Enjoy!

Mommy & Me Session | Portland Family Photographer, Kari Rae Photography

Stephanie and James are the absolute sweetest and they are so in love! This time, I'm not talking about an engaged or married couple...but a mommy & her 4-year-old son.

Oh. My. Word.  

This was such a special session for me to be able to do, as Stephanie and I have been dreaming about it since last Fall. She knew she wanted some great, large photos of the 2 of them for her walls.

So, she saved her pennies for a couple seasons (custom photography is quite the luxury, but I think Stephanie would tell you it's worth the wait!) and we got to have our session a couple weeks ago!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed creating them... you can see the adoration in their eyes. Awww! I'm in love <3

Hollywood Florida Seniors on the Boardwalk | Portland Senior Photographer, Destination Senior Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing these best friends for a senior session on the boardwalk in Hollywood, Florida. Throw in some vintage roller skates and a windy day, and you've got one happy photographer! Sami and Harley were so much fun and up for anything! Thanks, girls, for rockin' this session :) You make my job easy! 

Doug & Amanda Pre-Wedding Session | Portland Wedding Photographer

Doug & Amanda were married on May 25,2013 at The Portland Temple. To capture even more of their beautiful love, we had a pre-wedding session a few weeks before... which is my new favorite thing ever. :) I think you guys will understand why pretty quickly here... Doug & Amanda, like I told you, I just really like you guys, and I'm happy you decided to be married. Thank you for letting me be a part of your story together, and I hope you are having an incredible honeymoon!!
