Bend Oregon In Home Engagement Session

At home with Hannah and Sam

Sam and Hannah’s engagement session! What I love about these photos is not only how quintessential Bend they feel, but how they just feel so true to Hannah and Sam. When these two first reached out to me about photographing their wedding, they had mentioned that finding a photographer who could make them feel comfortable was important to them. They didn’t love photos and weren’t excited about the idea of having to pose for their engagement photos, let alone their wedding. As a documentary wedding photographer, this is my favorite thing to hear. I fully believe that it’s my job to make you feel comfortable enough that your photos look natural, like you were just hanging out with a friend who snapped some moments for you.

The Locations

Starting at home, in their backyard where they love to spend time together. With their pup Logan in tow, we explored the garden and all of the flowers these two are growing from seed and drying in preparation for their fall wedding at House on Metolius. So impressive!?

After they practiced their first dance in the backyard, we decided to get in the car and drive to the river along Meadow Camp to take some photos with their bikes. These two are avid cyclists and wanted to incorporate it into their photos, I can’t recommend it enough when planning your engagement photos to make it intentional and feel natural to you as a couple. I think these photos can speak to how much of a difference it makes when you take the location into consideration when planning your photos!
