We had a marvelous winter shooting up at Timberline Lodge, and Dusty & Jay’s wedding was no exception. It was full of the usual snow, ice, laughter, & tears plus one of the more unique details we experienced this winter–a shot-ski straight out of the 80’s… instant party!
It’s full-on Spring here in Portland, but there is still plenty of snow up in the mountains and we have a few more white winter weddings to blog! In February, we had the honor of photographing Kim & Dan’s wedding at the Silcox Hut above Mt. Hood’s Timberline Lodge. The joy of this ebulliently fun couple is so contagious, we couldn’t help but smile the entire day. The little details also really shined through from the fondant mushrooms & truffles on the cake to the acorn and squirrel logo accompanied by the saying, “even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.” (Although, they never did explain which of them is the blind squirrel & which is the acorn…) Truer words have never been spoken, and we are so glad that Kim & Dan found each other and chose us to document this day!
As Katie’s father shared during his toast, everyone was a bit surprised when this D.C. couple chose Timberline Lodge for their winter destination wedding. After playing in the snow on Mt. Hood and enjoying the unique Northwest vibe of the lodge, everyone seemed to agree it was the perfect choice. Their wedding day was the culmination of a week of great times with family & friends, and we were so happy to be there to capture it!
Talia & Pro were blessed with some of the most beautiful January weather in recent memory for their wedding day. Weather won’t make or break your wedding day, but such gorgeous weather is especially appreciated when your wedding takes place at 7,000 ft. on the side of Mt. Hood in the middle of winter! With mild temperatures & windless blue skies we were able to spend a lot of time outside on the snowy slopes. Once the sun set, everyone gathered in the Silcox Hut to celebrate this beautiful couple!
Heidi & Jonnathan’s wedding was full of DIY flourishes that enhanced the already charming setting at Postlewait’s Farm. The bride made many of the decorations as well as some really cool clutch’s for her bridesmaids to carry instead of a traditional bouquet. To see more of her big ideas and creative designs, check out her blog: Unabashed Bliss. It was a gorgeous day for a celebration under the towering oak trees, surrounded by the fields of the Willamette Valley. We were even treated to an amazing sunset, complete with rainbow to round out the evening!
The recipe for a marvelous wedding can really be quite simple: delicious food, good friends, & great wine mixed together in a stunning landscape. This was Leigh & Ron’s approach to their Oregon wine-country wedding, and it made for quite a meaningful and memorable day! Friends and family gathered under the giant oak trees at Stoller Vineyards to witness their marriage and then celebrate with plenty of wine from the vineyard and fresh seasonal fare from prepared by Simpatica. Everything was brought together by the expert coordination of Nadia from Creations by Ly.
Laughter and joy abound when you are around Leigh & Ron! There were a lot of smiles and definitely a few tears. Getting to know them this year, from their epic engagement session to shedding a few tears ourselves at their wedding toasts, has truly been a pleasure. Congratulations to you both, and thank you for choosing us to capture this part of your life together!
Hayley & Ian said their I-do’s at the Troutdale House on a beautiful summer evening. Their passion & excitement for each other simply resonated through everyone and everything around them. Congratulations you two!
It doesn’t get much better than a spring evening on Sauvie Island outside of Portland! We often will head out to Sauvie’s at this time of year for an impromptu picnic, a quick hike, or just to catch the sunset. It’s a gorgeous escape from the city just outside the door! Erin and Joe thought it would make a great location for their engagement session, since her grandparents lived there during her childhood. We had an awesome time walking along the beach, watching the sunset over the green fields, and enjoying some wine with this fun couple. Erin & Joe, thank you for a great evening. We are looking forward to your wedding next month!
We had a great time out at the Coast near Manzanita with Anna and Billy earlier this week. Thanks for an awesome shoot you two!
