Adventure Engagement Session by Oregon Elopement Photographer Black Salt Photography

"Adventure Engagement Session" by Oregon Elopement Photographer Black Salt Photography

Getting your engagement photos done is one of the first steps to wedding planning and these two absolutely killed it with their carefree adventure engagement session. What's better than the mountains at sunset? The mountains at sunset with an amazing couple.

I mean, LOOK!

As you know, I love to show as much emotion in my images as I can. I work hard from the very beginning of our sessions together to make sure you're both feeling comfortable. I won't make you do stiff smiling poses or something that makes you cringe. Of course, the goal of our session is to capture genuine feelings from each of you. I just happen to be there with a camera.

The Engaged Couple

Niki is such a joyous goofball and Tony is a stoic rock so I had to make sure I was catering to both personalities. These are their engagement photos after all! I think some of my favorite moments of this mountaintop adventure is how tender they are with each other. It can take a minute for those intimate emotions to come out. But when they do, they're priceless.

I hope you laugh, smile, and feel happy little butterflies in your tummy when you look this gallery. I know I do every time I scroll through it.

"Destiny definitely stood out amongst other photographers because we absolutely loved how involved she was from the very beginning. She really wants to get to know you- which makes for really intimate photos! She asks tons of questions, which is awesome because you feel like you know her before even meeting her! And once you finally do, she is so so sweet!!! Destiny is so great at communicating and being really involved in every detail! She captured every emotion and detail perfectly, whenever I look at our wedding pictures, it brings back every feeling on our special day. TEARS!"
