I hadn’t met K + A before their engagement session, but the second I pulled into the trailhead parking lot just outside Mosier, Oregon, I had a feeling the day was going to be special. A super cool adventure van rolled in not long after me, and I thought, “It’d be amazing if that was them.” Sure enough—it was!

From the moment they stepped out of their van, I knew we were in for something magical. We started our short hike up the Mosier Plateau Trail, a scenic path overlooking the Columbia River. The trail winds through lush hillsides and wildflowers (which we were careful not to disturb!), and eventually leads to a breathtaking viewpoint—our destination for their engagement photos.

K + A were naturals in front of the camera. They laughed, played, and rolled around in the golden light like it was the easiest thing in the world. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, the entire hillside lit up with warm, glowing tones—classic Columbia River sunset magic.

This Oregon engagement session truly felt like a dream. Between the adventurous energy, the unbeatable views, and K + A’s effortless chemistry, it was everything I love about a riverside engagement session.
