Jen & Hugh {Gorge~ous Engagement}

I waited (and waited, and waited...) to do this couple's engagement photos. The session was to serve as sort of a pseudo interview/trial session (which I highly recommend doing, by the way) preceding a Fall 2011 wedding. Jen & Hugh are outdoor enthusiasts, hikers/campers/the works/ and wanted their engagement session to include the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge. We decided to meet at Multnomah Falls in early in March. We were rained out. Two weeks went by. The rain kept falling. Finally we had a day in mid April that stayed dry long enough to squeeze in a morning session. Unfortunately for me, by the time we finally got to our session it was a month after we initially talked and the happy couple had decided that Vegas was the way to go. Unless I can score some plane tickets or decide on a road trip through the desert in October (hmmm) I think I'm probably out of luck :) :) :) Regardless, an engagement session is always very special and this was no exception. The light was beautiful this day and the love between Jen and Hugh was warming every shot. They were game for several creative poses and we even incorporated sweet little Max into some of the shots :) This is one of those sessions where the couples genuine love for one another MADE the session. This was truly Jen and Hugh enjoying a walk through the gorge on a nice spring day. I know after doing this session that their wedding will produce some dramatic photos. I hope that Vegas  Photographer knows what they're doing! :) :) :)

Congratulations Jen and Hugh, it was nice to meet you (finally)! Enjoy your sneak peek and feel free to share these photos while your CD is being created.
