KARISSA + BRANDON

Engagement Session @ George Rogers State Park, Lake Oswego, Oregon

There’s something timeless about love stories unfolding in nature—and George Rogers State Park gave us the perfect backdrop for this engagement session. Nestled along the Willamette River in Lake Oswego, this park’s mix of towering evergreens, open fields, and river views made for an atmosphere that was both romantic and serene.

From quiet walks under the canopy of trees to playful moments by the water, every frame captured the essence of Karissa’s & Brandon’s connection. The history of the park itself—once home to Oregon’s first iron smelter—added a layer of depth and character to the session, grounding these modern lovebirds in a setting rich with stories of the past.

To close out the session, Karissa & Brandon kicked off their shoes and waded into the river, embracing the spontaneity of the moment. The way the water caught the light made for some of the most breathtaking images of the day—intimate, joyful, and completely them.
