Oregon Beach Cliffside Anniversary Shoot

Oregon Beach Cliffside Anniversary Shoot


Brandon and Jenya live in the Pacific Northwest now, but met when Brandon was attending a co-workers Thanksgiving in South Korea when he was there teaching English. Interesting fact-Jenya had formerly been on Korea’s Next Top Model! Her sister was organizing the Thanksgiving dinner and once the couple saw each other that was it!

They got married but never had traditional wedding garb or photos, so it was really special to be a part of their anniversary session where they were both giddy at seeing the other one in wedding clothes despite having been married for three years already!

The session was up on the cliffs above the Oregon Coast, along foggy fern-lined paths and craggy hills. The air was crisp and the couple was elated.

We did part of their session in a nearly one-hundred-year-old structure that was built after the war. In a fitting bit of serendipity, a woman walked by and told us her Grandparents had actually worked on it!

Fascinated by every glittering detail — from the bride’s smile to the heirloom necklace her grandmother let her borrow — I showcase every facet of a wedding day so you can treasure it for decades. 

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.  

My love for photography has brought me everywhere from the beaches of sunny California to the mountains in Oregon. But regardless of where I travel, the Willamette Valley and deep forest of my own slice of heaven will always be my home.

Welcome Friends!

With a style as enduring as a love note and an experience as intentional and unforgettable as the first time he held your hand, I turn wedding days into heirlooms, family photo sessions into experiences, and portraits into confidence-boosting celebrations.
