She had a crush on him for a while, but then he fell for her. And fell HARD. Not only is Caitlin beautiful, she is GOOD. That pure, gentle kind of goodness that makes everyone love her, including her family, friends, physical therapy clients and one lucky groom. 
Jeremy and Caitlin, seeing and photographing you together brings me so much joy. You make each other shine brighter. Such a compliment of personalities and giftings. It was a great delight to be a part of your wedding and capture these memories. I only wish we lived closer, you’re exactly the kind of new friends I would love to hang out with!!
Xoxo,
Christa
The window light was perfect for her prep shots, who knew it was a kitchen?
Caitlin’s dress was so ethereal, found at a Promises Bridal in Eureka, CA with the most beautiful sleeves added by Monika’s California Apparel. (more…)
Elaini Garfield, longest, oldest, dearest friend of mine launched an amazing project early this year. Now in it’s final stages we are heading towards the finish line and those final 10Gs. $50,000 for orphans. That’s a heck of a lot of money, but she’s so close.
This fashion shoot was to raise $1,000 for the cause. Typifying one of the 12 days of Christmas- “10 Pipers Piping”. Obviously, it is now past Christmas, but I want to share some of the images that helped reach the goal!
Visit MissElainious for more images from the 12 days of Christmas!
The light was overcast and perfect for this type of work. Soft and moody.
My sister Kelly is a masterful floutist and piccolo player. Hence the “pipers piping”
Photogenic siblings are really handy.
I will always be a sucker for black and white.
The way her smile made her eyes sparkle when she looked at him. It was like it was always trying to escape from the corners of her mouth and erupt with love all over him.
They were introduced at David’s older brothers wedding. Well, actually, there was a giant vase of flowers blocking Kristi’s face most of the night, but despite the ill-placed flowers fate had been decided.
It didn’t take long for David to realize he couldn’t live without this girl. While David finished up his schooling he dreamed of spending the rest of his life with this gem by his side.
We started cruising around the Pearl district for some fun candid shots. I told them to stop being so hot. They told me that was impossible ;P
hot. hot. hot.
Kristi, cautious and deliberate new she was in love when she hopped on the back of David’s racing bike. Love makes you crazy in a completely wonderful way.
Hot couple, hot bike. Yes please.
The light was fading fast so we jumped to the park blocks for some fall color and the light was as soft and romantic as one could wish.
Kristi, you are so so gorgeous. Really. really.
I
love when a couple is willing to play in front of my camera.
David and his future groomsmen will be getting ready at The Benson before the upcoming wedding, so we stopped in to warm up and take some more shots.
The evening light filtering through the windows was perfect for this shot.
Who wouldn’t want to kiss her?
Wedding at the Portland Treasury this January!
