River + Dylan | Adventure Engagement Session

I had dreamt up this shoot in Sisters, Oregon before I even knew that it was also the same town these two got engaged in. As we drove between location, River told me the story about how they had gone out to Sisters for a spontaneous hike, stopping at Sisters Coffee first, and as they were trekking Dylan popped the question. “That means he was carrying the ring the whole time!”

We had so much fun frolicking out in the middle of the Deschutes National Forest and I laughed harder than I’ve laughed in a long time. These two were made for each other and it shows. They’re both so sweet and they fit together like a little puzzle. Even though I had really hoped for some sun, we managed to avoid the rain and these two made me drop all my expectations - it was absolutely better than I could’ve dreamt up.
