Celia and Russ
September 14, 2009Russ begrudgingly allowed himself to be dragged along to a Halloween party with his friends. He didn’t have a clue that the party would change his life forever. As he walked through the door in his sheriff costume, he scanned the crowd. His eyes settled on Celia who just happened to have dressed up as a sheriff too. Maybe this night won’t be so bad after all, he thought. Luckily, Celia and Russ were able to avoid a law enforcement turf war that night and instead, planted the seeds for a life-long relationship.
I am so stoked for their wedding next summer! We recently headed up to The Pittock Mansion in Portland for engagement photos. As usual, the grounds were breathtakingly gorgeous and we were blessed with some amazing lighting. Here are a few of my favorites!
