But, I associate shot their wedding and met them for their Fitton Green engagement session.

Tips for a Perfect Summer Session

If you’re considering an engagement session at Fitton Green, here are a few tips:

• Timing is everything: Golden hour is your best friend. Plan your session about 1-2 hours before sunset for the dreamiest light. I’ve shot at Fitton Green for both sunrise and sunset and you can’t go wrong with either.

• Dress comfortably: Oregon summers can be temperamental. On this particular date, the day had been sweltering and we all showed up expecting a sultry summer evening. Imagine our surprise when we discovered Fitton Green to be windy and in the low 50s. Pack layers that can be kept close at hand in case temperatures dip.

• Be adventurous: The best spots often require a short hike, so wear comfortable shoes for walking.
