On July 5th, 2025, history was made at Hope Ranch Lavender, where the fields came alive not only with the scent of blooming lavender but with the vibrant celebration of love between Haley and Katie—the first couple to ever tie the knot at this stunning new venue.

When it came time to capture Nick and Olivia’s engagement session, there was no better place than the coastal town of Astoria, Oregon — a destination that holds so much meaning in their relationship. It’s not just a beautiful spot on the map; it’s a place they return to time and again when they need stillness, connection, and a breath of salty air.

There’s something deeply special about returning to the place where your love story changed forever—and that’s exactly what we did for Matthew and Callan’s engagement session. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Ochoco National Forest, this little pond holds years of memories for these two—of camping trips, hunting adventures, and most recently… a proposal.
