Hey there, I’m Sam. I live in Oregon and travel around the pacific northwest and beyond for beautiful images and adventurous couples who love anything from a traditional wedding, to an adventurous destination wedding, to an intimate elopement.

Most days you can find me hanging out with my pubs and husband, being active in theatre, and nerding out over Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Harry Potter (Hufflepuff, here!). I’m mostly known for my local involvement in theatre and music, and people often refer to me as “that girl who plays all those instruments”. I love serving the world by visualizing the romance, adventure, and fun of all you travelers, wanderers, and lovers of all things “off the beaten path”.

Things I’m most passionate about are: old country music like Red Sovine, Marty Robbins, Roy Rogers, Lorne Green, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and Irish/Celtic pub songs – my husband calls me the youngest old lady he knows. I also LOVE to travel, and learn new languages.

Hi there! My name is Julie from Engage Me Photography and I am so happy to share some of my work with you!  Being a wedding photographer wasn't initially what I had planned on doing but my love for my clients and seeing all of the emotion of the day pour out during a wedding has me hooked.

It was difficult to choose just one wedding to share images from but this one just brings such a smile to my face, so I wanted to share a few. These two melted my heart with their genuine love and almost child-like excitement. It's hard to hold back my own cheesy grin looking at these.

I love when I get to spend the entire day with my couple. There is something so surreal about the getting ready routine on the day of your wedding. The excitement. The jitters. The anxiety. The elation. The dream day... is finally here!

All of the details that you've carefully planned out are all coming together.  Remember how much time you spent carefully picking out the perfect flowers, invitations, centerpieces, and signature drink? As your photographer, I love that you thoughtfully planned this because I can capture it all!

Mike and Anne's small ceremony of close family and friends at their backyard wedding in Minneapolis, MN was so colorful and elegant. It was breathtaking to see them exchange their vows between giggles and tears. These are moments that are such an honor to freeze for my clients to have and to share with family and friends. I love seeing their playful side and pure joy as I relive their wedding day in these photographs.

I am so grateful for finding my niche and for all of the new friends that I've made by being allowed to be a part of their wedding day. It is an absolute honor!

Cheers!
