Portland Engagement: Anna+Max

Anna and Max are the epitome of a super fab, super fun, super in love couple and when I needed a couple to partake in my promo video, I knew immediately who I had to contact. Not only are they insanely gorgeous and a dream to photograph, they’re so much fun to spend an evening with and had me laughing almost the whole shoot.

Jason and I arrived a bit early to hang the streamers in the tree hoping the wind would cooperate and the sun would stay out as we started to get some evening clouds rolling in. Anna and Max arrived just as we finished the tree and we started right away.

Honestly, I was really nervous going into this shoot. Not only did I have to direct my couple, produce photographs I was proud of, and make them feel comfortable in front of TWO cameras, but I had to not look like a total loser or fall on my face in front of Craig’s camera filming the whole shoot! It was a lot of pressure, but about 15 minutes in everyone started to warm up, relax, and have a good time. Then we brought in their little puppy Panda and the laughs really started to roll.

The streamer tree photographed like a dream and sun stayed out until the very end of our shoot. It was seriously an amazing day and I’m so in love with the pictures and Anna and Max themselves. I cannot wait for their wedding in October!
