Engagement session on film / Portland, OR

January 3, 2023

Alexa and Nick asked us to photograph their engagement session all on film and we couldn’t have been more excited. We shot their engagement session on a mix of 35mm and 120 medium format film. We had an array of cameras and SO MUCH FILM. We ended up shooting 10 rolls of film.

We started the shoot at their house and let me tell you their house is an architectural dream. It’s your classic mid century home with all of the angles, shapes, and colors. The whole theme of their shoot was inspired by the mid century so shooting in digital didn’t make sense. Alexa and Nick relaxed on their couch, put on some records, and made a drink. It was intimate and cozy. We got to know one another and shared some laughs. We even handed them the camera for a few and had them take some mirror shots for a fun twist to the engagement session.

Our next stop was their favorite vintage store, midnight sunlight. Midnight sunlight is a beautifully curated vintage store here in Portland and the owner is so sweet and she even has a shop cat which you will see in some of the photos.

Our last stop was at Sugar Hill. Sugar Hill is this brand new 70’s themed bar on Belmont. We ordered some food and sat and drank some drinks. Their patio had this red light outside so we had some fun with color and created some fun and unique portraits.

We had so much fun on this shoot. It was different, creative, and getting to know these two all day was a real treat. We’re so excited for their wedding in September where we will be shooting most of the day on film.
