Stevie is, in fact, an angel. If my words don't convince you, these photos will. OH. MY. GOODNESS.
Stevie girl, you are stunning. You are so warm & welcoming, hilarious & silly, confident & humble...thank you so much for opening yourself to me so I could capture your sweet spirit in photographs. I adore you!
Because these are too lovely not to post now.... :)
Shannon is a dear friend of mine, so now Ryan is also. They are becoming one flesh on September 1st in Clearwater, Florida. Their love is full of grace, victory, selflessness, forgiveness, and Jesus. My heart is glad for the soon-to-be Martins, and this session was such an honor to be a part of. Enjoy!
(update: Ryan & Shannon's session was featured on one of our favorite blogs - Beloved Darling! You can see their post here: http://beloveddarling.com/downtown-portland-waterfront-engagement-from-kari-rae-photography/ )

Annnnd I promise to one day be done with Shaylee & Wes' almost-engaged-at-the-time-and-now-totally-engaged-i-am-over-the-top-in-LOVE session that is still rocking my world.
Phew!! There are a few other orders that are in limbo between my labs and my clients, and a few secret projects that I can't share (tee hee!) but that about sums up my days right now. SO blessed to work with the most amazing people and to be head over heels in love with my job. Again, thank you to all of you for being patient with me! Summertime with a 4 and almost-2 year old is busy enough...you can imagine how crazy things are around here and how many dishes I need to go wash ;) Now back to work I go!
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!
