Toni & Todd / Engaged / Destination Bend Oregon Engagement Photographer

Toni and Todd are fabulous.

Todd had us in stitches from laughing so hard!  We absolutely LOVED capturing the love and laughter between these two beautiful people.

Toni and Todd live in Portland Or.  Some of Toni’s fondest  childhood memories were spent in Bend, Oregon with her family.  They are also planning on getting married in Bend as well.  I loved that we captured them in a nostalgic location.

Toni could not be more adorable and stylish!  We wanted to create an “Anthropologie” styled session, with a “sweets” twist!  Toni and her mom have a cupcake and treats business up in Portland!  She brought her delicious cupcakes and cherry pie hearts.  YUM!!!

(We were excited to partake after the shoot.)

Toni and Todd also hired a wedding consultant.  Rachelle’s business is Champagne up in Portland, OR.  She is AMAZING!!  Rachelle worked for several weeks helping me with styling the session.  She even came along and set everything up for us.  THANK YOU RACHELLE!  I highly recommend every bride hire an assistant!!

We had to postpone this session 3 times due to weather and illness!  We were SO happy when we were finally able to get together.  The weather could not have been more amazing. (However, the bugs and the wind were a bit of a challenge) LOL

It was all worth it!

Thank you Toni and Todd for the opportunity, and we can’t wait to capture your wedding day this September!!!!

XOXO

Bec - WOW. what a beautiful session. Your light astounds me, do you use a reflector or a flash? I thought flash but then I also the flare so I would love to know what you use. Love the way you pose them, it’s still very candid, sexy and stylish, and what a hot couple to work with. Very nice images Amanda!
