Chris and Justine | Columbia Gorge Engagement Photos

It was Thanksgiving. Chris was with ALL of Justine’s big family at the dinner table. As part of tradition, each person went around saying what they were thankful for. Chris went last. He started to tell them all the ways he was blessed. And how incredibly grateful he was that Justine was in his life. How thankful he was for her. And one other thing.

I met them for the first time during this session as we road-tripped through the gorge to take some epic engagement photos on one of the most perfect winter days I’ve ever seen. It was my first shoot of 2014 and I could not have been happier than to spend it with these two kind-hearted, down-to-earth people in one of my all-time favorite places
