Intimate PNW Lifestyle Cabin Couples Photo + Video Session | Oregon Elopement Videographer

I seriously felt so inspired during this intimate PNW lifestyle couples shoot with Michelle + Eamon at the Woodlands House in Sandy, Oregon. It got me thinking a lot about how I used to think of engagement shoots — dressing up, frolicking in a field, moving couples through prompts…anddd idk, I love a good frolick, but this quiet, introspective, cozy style of storytelling in a confined space stole my heart. Keep scrolling for some majorrrr engagement shoot/story session inspo. (Pssttt — I’m obsessed w/ elopement couples adding story sessions!!)

Minimalist Lifestyle Couples Session in Tiny Cabin | PNW Video and Photos

Jess and Devin are two of the raddest people I’ve ever met — Jess is a Portland-based DJ and their wife Devin owns The Modern Minimalist, an amazing business offering holistic home organization + styling, in portland oregon + beyond. I was beyond inspired by the way these two move together, consider one another through looks and whispered words, and laughed over inside jokes they each recalled with just a glance. It was just an easy, beautiful shoot — storytelling with married love is my favorite. I think there’s so much beauty in comfort and stability and shared history. And, like, these two are hot haha — keep scrolling for their minimalist lifestyle couples session in a tiny cabin in Sandy, Oregon. 

These two cracked me up, by the way — when asked if there was anything they weren’t comfortable photographing, they clarified that they didn’t want to lick each other’s faces — lmaoooo. Fair enough.
