L O V E

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore
can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole

Ah love. Such a heartwarming thing to witness. Especially when you're friends with the happy couple!

Meet Brenden & Naomi. They're pals of ours, and needless to say I was pretty excited when they asked me to photograph their upcoming nuptials, and engagement shoot along with them. 

Naomi wanted something a bit different... I suggested we go on a trip to somewhere we'd never been before. I haven't had many opportunities to go shoot out in Central Oregon, so when we settled on Bend and Sparks Lake, it made MY heart go a pitter-patter. Satisfying the travel bug and creative itch in one go? I'll take it.

These two are so goofy, cute, and all things adorable. As always, I just want my subjects to be themselves. Snuggly and giggly... you know. I had a lot of fun capturing those in-between, quiet moments too. That's where the good stuff is.

Anyway, enough words. Have some shots.
