A Love Story Rooted in Intention Simran…
A perfect fall wedding Everything came together at Sarah and Kai’s wedding at Ainsworth House. The weather held for us, gracing us with a beautiful sun glow as it set. Sarah and Kai were so relaxed and happy to boot, which you could feel in the air. Christie, who owns and manages Ainsworth, even found some pumpkins, and Sarah…
In Love at Ainsworth House Andie and Andrew (yes, those are their names! A perfect pair!) were so much fun to photograph at their wedding at Ainsworth House and Gardens this summer. They are both so sweet and kind…the sort of people you just feel happy about, knowing that they found each other. There were a lot of laughs, and…
Ainsworth House Wedding Photography Celina and Russell’s wedding was a fabulous celebration reflecting what was important to them, their friends, and family. Their family came from far and wide to be there and support them in marriage, and I left there feeling like I was now part of their family. And, it was clear that Russ felt like he…
‘En Garde’ at Ainsworth House! This was such a fun wedding to photograph at Ainsworth House, in Oregon City. Alyssa and Nick and their family and friends had such a great time, and we just tagged along and captured it all. (I think this is the second or third wedding we’ve photographed that included swords!) After the wedding, we asked…

Jon and Debira were married on July 16th, with a ceremony and reception at the Ainsworth House in Oregon City. These two actually had TWO wedding ceremonies—they eloped before their larger ceremony. Debira and John are both pretty shy, so they wanted to have their own personal vows and enjoy an intimate atmosphere under the garden arch with just their…
This has to be one of the funniest wedding photos I’ve seen in a long time, although it took me a moment to get it. I was looking at Aaron’s t-shirt thinking, “The election was like, 8 months ago….” And then it dawned on me that the bride’s name is Hillary. Hilarious! (Hillary-ous?) This sweet couple were married at…

Remember that terrible storm we were supposed to have this past weekend in Portland? The one to rival the infamous Columbus Day Storm of 1962? Well, we barely do either. (Unless you were at the Oregon Coast and experienced the tornadoes there….) Well, that’s the storm that was predicted for Whitney and Paul’s wedding day, at the Ainsworth House in…
What better place to photograph engagement photos in Portland in the fall than at Hoyt Arboretum? With so many beautiful trees to choose from…it makes for a great venue for portrait photography. So I traipsed around the park with Whitney and Paul, as we talked about their lives, their busy schedules, how they met, and their plans for their…
I’m not sure how many countries Scott and Joy have traveled to, or how many versions of scorpion or snake they’ve eaten, or how far they’ve biked in the far corners of the world…but it’s a lot. These guys like adventure, and their wedding day was no exception. From The Modern Man on Mississippi, to Ainsworth House and Gardens in…
