Tracy and Andrea’s story may just be the most beautiful I’ve heard while on this journey of being a wedding photographer.

Tracy had called me, left a voicemail saying their photographer last minute cancelled on them for their engagement photos that were going to be the next day at Smith Rock State Park.

I called him back, we got to talking the details and planned the session for the next day! He was so excited to find someone last minute and I was excited to be available for them on short notice.

Not your Average Engagement Session

Driving into Smith Rock, I noticed a couple in wedding attire as I drove through looking for a parking spot. I thought, how cool is that?! This is such a beautiful spot to elope and not uncommon to see while on an hike there.

I called Tracy to tell them where to find me, and there they come walking up, the couple I saw in the wedding attire, looking dang beautiful and so in love.
