Ferris + Liz | Portland Rose Garden Engagement

It was a beautiful summer evening in June and we had a blast walking around and chatting. Ferris + Liz are both from Seattle but they wanted to turn their engagement session into a little bit of a vacation, so they came to see Portland and for their session, we toured around the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park.
