Couples

DAN AND ISH MY LOVES. Bless 2020 for bringing you both into my lives. I have been continually blessed by your friendship, your energy, and your love for each other and your clients. And I’m so so happy I got to photograph your love for each other at Smith Rock last summer!

The Couple

Remember that road trip around Oregon I talked about in a recent blog post? (Check out the dope Alvord Desert shoot we did on the same trip!!) Well that’s the trip we photographed Dan & Ish during at Smith Rock!

I originally met these babes of humans at a Shootout Society photoshoot last summer in Bellingham, WA. They’re a badass team of photographers based out of Seattle and it was a blast shooting with them. Soooo then my photographer friends & I asked them to model for us at Smith Rock later that summer. And we COULD NOT have chosen a better couple!!

The Smith Rock Photoshoot

And Dan & Ish didn’t just “model” – they actually are engaged! Which means they got a bunch of engagement photos out of this shoot! It was smoky as all hell everywhere in Oregon that week. Soooo we worried we were going to get JUST overcast weather for this shoot.

But the sun peeked out for just a little while at the beginning of the shoot. We got STUNNING light for the first outfits they wore. They started off with gorg colors – burnt orange and cream-colored shirts with black pants. My dream color palette!! Keep scrolling to see the second outfit they changed into!

The “Elopement” Outfits

After their more casual engagement-type photos, Dan & Ish changed into bombbb suits for more of an elopement look for the shoot! Dan wore a solid burgundy suit with a dark gray undershirt, and Ish rocked a classic black and white look. We were OBSESSED with the fire they served in these suits and the smoky sky actually looked super cool for the second half of our shoot!!

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

Michelle is one of the most down to earth, genuine, amazing and talented people I’ve met. There is no other photographer I would rather have at my wedding besides Michelle. She captures love at its most beautiful moments and doesn’t leave any details out. Our photos were everything we wanted and more! Thank you Michelle for being THE BEST photographer and friend. We’ll cherish our photos (and you!) forever!
