Derryn & Leiah's Backyard Woods Wedding | Kari Rae Photography, Portland Wedding Photographer

"We're going to have the wedding at my parents' property," he said as his precious fiancee giggled again with that eager smile he adores. I love it! The more personal, the better. It's even sweeter when his parents' property is atop a hill with a gorgeous view of our beautiful state. Oregon is magical, you guys. As are Derryn & Leiah. If you're anything like me, you fell in love with them from their engagement session, seen here


I'm pleased to present their wedding, full of joy, adoration, soft pinks, country gentlemen, and woodsy Northwest charm. And of course, an abundance of love love love.

Blake & Lindsay Beloved Engagement Session | Kari Rae Photography, Portland Engagement Photographer, Oregon Love Photographer

My handsome husband has been friends with Blake for forever.

In fact, Blake used to live in what is now our foster boys' bedroom (minus the crib, fortunately) before we were married. And when Blake started talking about this girl named Lindsay, we were elated. 

Every time we saw him, he was happier & happier. And just like that, they were engaged. Happy all around. I think you might be able to tell ;)

Nicole & Robbie Beloved Engagement Session | Kari Rae Photography, Portland Engagement Photographer

One of my favorite things to do is find the best, most deserving couples out there. I'll ask my followers to nominate their family & friends and tell me what makes them the awesome, beautiful couple they are. Robbie & Nicole were nominated and I had the pleasure of blessing them with this engagement session. 

Love on, lovebirds..

Derryn & Leiah's Vintage Romantic Engagement Session | Kari Rae Photography, Portland Engagement Photographer, Oregon Love Photographer

Derryn & Leiah - what a couple. 

The first part of this session came to life after I saw Leiah's hat. Immediately, I had a vision for this style with the classic car; and I'm so thankful they trusted me enough to pull it off!

The rest of the evening was spent celebrating their love. Their gorgeous relationship, their blazing hearts for each other, and the anticipation of their upcoming wedding day. It is a joy to know these two lovely souls. Have I mentioned recently how much I adore my clients and my job?
