Engaged: Jennifer & Sebastian in the Columbia River Gorge

February 19, 2018 by Ara R. in Engagement Sessions

"We actually purchased our engagement outfits last week and I think you can say we got a little excited..."  Jennifer's email, with a photograph of this dress, got my head spinning with ideas and excitement.  We had no idea the sunset would burst out of an otherwise-gray/rainy afternoon, either.  Both the grays and the purples/oranges made for a spectacular backdrop, and while I may have been bouncing for joy after this shoot, the editing process was just as mind-blowing.  Enjoy!

P.S. Tall heels? Check.  Wool socks? Check.  Going down a slippery hillside? No problem.  Be still my heart.
