Shellie + Kevin’s Champoeg Park Engagement Session | Newberg and Hillsboro Wedding Photographer

When we first started planning their engagement session, Shellie and Kevin wanted to be sure we’d be someplace where we could show their love of the outdoors–especially somewhere near the water.  We chose Champoeg State Park for their barn, garden, and river access–and what a fun time we had there!
