Despite the Oregon winter cold, Mandi and Fidel absolutely killed their engagement session at the Silverton Reservoir and Marine Park. The morning forecast promised a break in the clouds, but the fog lingered and intensified, casting a dreamy and moody ambiance over the landscape. M + F were such troopers and embraced the ethereal surroundings, resulting in such a unique session filled with genuine love and joy! Their effortless chemistry and comfort in front of the camera transformed the misty afternoon and gave a glimpse into the magic that awaits at their August wedding. As an Oregon engagement photographer, artistically capturing your romance and love is my specialty and being able to freeze these feelings in time for you is my passion!

An Oregon Engagement Photography Adventure with Mandi and Fidel

I love that Mandi and Fidel wanted to have their engagement session in December! I’m usually not the biggest fan of shooting in the colder months, but a couple like them makes it all worth it! Even though we got the cold, the fog really popped off to make their engagement photos so unique! They were so enjoyable to be around and I am SO excited for the amount of fun we are going to have on their wedding day!

Connection through Engagement Sessions

One of the most special parts of my wedding packages is the complimentary engagement session. I absolutely love these sessions because they’re not just about capturing beautiful images; they’re a unique opportunity for me and my couples to create a deep and genuine connection. Mandi and Fidel’s session beautifully captured the depth that makes these moments so meaningful. It goes beyond photography—it’s about creating lasting memories and building a bond that enhances the overall wedding day experience. These moments with my couples during engagement sessions are truly some of the BEST times, and it means the world to me.
