Molly + Tyler / Mt. Hood Silcox Hut Wedding

1 Comment/ in Silcox Hut Wedding Photographs, weddings / by Ryan

Over the past year, we have had the opportunity to shoot a number of weddings at the Silcox Hut on Mt. Hood. The uniqueness of this venue seems to be a magnet for fabulous weddings that share a similar recipe of wonderful people, intimate ceremonies, and charming, thoughtful details.  Molly & Tyler’s February wedding definitely fit the bill! Some of their stand-out details included Molly wearing her grandmother’s fur wrap (which came in very handy for those outdoor photos!), cowbells for the guests to ring for after their first-kiss (a nod to the bride’s ski-racing days), and delicious macaroons  nestled in individual glass jars at each place setting.

The intimacy of Silcox Hut is palpable, with everyone present feeling like an honored guest. It is hard to describe the feeling of a small group of family and friends gathered cozily together on the side of a mountain to celebrate a couple’s love and commitment to each other.  We hope these photos capture a bit of that essence. Molly & Tyler explained it well when, making a toast to their guests at the evening’s end, they stated that everyone present was there for a reason and that they looked forward those continued relationships as they begin this new chapter in their lives together.  It is a sentiment shared at many weddings, yet feels particularly genuine in this spectacular setting.

Katie + David | Brasada Ranch Wedding

2 Comments/ in Central Oregon Wedding Photographer, weddings / by Ryan

After posting a few photos from this wedding, and seeing it featured on The Wedding Chicks blog, we still feel like it deserves a more comprehensive post.  So please excuse the tardiness of this post, but we feel it is well worth the wait! There were so many awesome details from this wedding that we had to share some more. From the Ketubah (designed by the groom) to the Kid’s Room,  Katie and David make one awesome design team when they put their heads together! In addition to all the wonderful details, they couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting: as they stood before their family and friends, the sun set behind the Cascade Mountains, filling the sky with a warm glow. The celebration that followed was equally as warm with a roaring fire, s’mores, and a lot of dancing!

Michaeline + Martin // WED

0 Comments/ in weddings / by Ryan

We have had a wonderful time getting to know Michaeline and Marty over the past few months. After an awesome engagement session on Mt. Hood, we knew their wedding would be special. Near tragedy struck a few weeks before their wedding when Martin informed us that Mikki had accidentally dropped a kitchen knife on her foot, cutting one of her major tendons. At the time, he informed us that we better get our camera’s ready for a beautiful bride with a big black boot! (aka a walking cast). A few days before the wedding, Mikki happily shared with us that she didn’t have to wear the boot for our photo time before and during the ceremony. However, she did rock the boot at the reception with style and grace–a testament to her wonderful attitude and personality! Click the photo or link below to view more images from their wedding. Enjoy!

Jessica + Bryce / Astoria, OR, wedding

1 Comment/ in weddings / by Ryan

In the midst of Portland’s current 100+ degree heatwave, it is hard to remember that we received nearly a full day of heavy rain a little over 2 weeks ago! During that weekend, we were scheduled to shoot Jessica & Bryce’s wedding on Cannon Beach. Due to the weather, they made a quick decision to move their ceremony indoors to their reception location: The Loft at the Red Building in Astoria, Oregon. The Red Building is a beautifully renovated space situated on a pier at the mouth of the Columbia River, just under the expansive and awe-inspiring Megler Bridge.

It may not have been a sunny beach, but the stormy weather brought with it dramatic skies and a beautiful, soft light that made for wonderful portraits! Jessica & Bryce embraced the location and were a joy to work with. As artists, we strive to bring all of the unique elements of your wedding into your photos to capture the true essence of your day, whether they be tiny details, a quick glance across a room, or the weather. Congratulations, Jessica & Bryce, we hope you enjoy your photos!

Engagement Session | Miki + Martin

1 Comment/ in engagement, oregon / by Ryan

Martin & Miki wanted to take full advantage of sunny spring skies and ample snow on Mt. Hood for their engagement session. They were not disappointed! We had a great time with them and had a lot of fun at two beautiful locations.  We started off at Trillium Lake with a beautiful view of the mountain. After hiking around the lake a bit, we made our way up to Timberline Lodge to enjoy the evening light. Martin and Miki were tough as they trekked over the snow above the lodge in their sandals! We definitely appreciate it when couples we work with make that extra effort for an amazing photo–thanks guys! We are looking forward to an awesome wedding this summer!

Details, Details, Details

4 Comments/ in oregon, weddings / by Ryan

There were so many amazing details from Matt & Logan’s Mt. Hood wedding that they deserve a blog post of their own! What really stood out to us about the details and planning of their wedding was the uber-creativity and DIY aesthetic that defined every last detail, as well as an environmentally sensitive approach.  Not to mention the thoughtfulness and soul that imbued everything. For example, the image below is of a newspaper flower. As beautifully simplistic as it is, the real beauty of this detail comes from it’s backstory….

As Logan explains it, the newspaper-flower idea was born from their Sunday morning routine of reading the New York Times together–a simple pleasure they love.

There were literally hundreds of these flowers worked into the decorations for the wedding, and each one was hand cut and put together by the bride and groom, with a little help from family and friends.  This is particularly amazing given the fact that they both finished medical school the week before the wedding! [I will be signing up for productivity and time-management classes as soon as they start offering them!]

A Spring Wedding on Mt. Hood!

4 Comments/ in oregon, Silcox Hut Wedding Photographs, weddings / by Ryan

One of the best aspects of calling the Northwest home as a photograper is the diversity of amazing locations. Beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, cool towns, pastoral valleys . . . I’m sure you’ve heard it all before (but it’s true)! One of our favorite aspects of being wedding photographers is the rare opportunity to photograph weddings of friends. I say rare, because often we don’t even get to attend friends’ weddings due to prior bookings. You may think this could be perceived as unenjoyable work to us, but it is quite the contrary. We love the opportunity to capture the spirit and moments of a wedding for all of our clients, but it is especially rewarding when you have a special connection and history with the bride and groom.  All this aligned in April when we were able to photograph the wedding of our dear friends Matt & Logan on Mt. Hood!

Being avid moutain folk (Matt hails from Central Oregon, and Logan from Colorado), they chose Silcox Hut at Timberline as the epicenter for their wedding celebration. Their family and friends converged there for an intimate celebration under the stars and the peak of Mt. Hood.  It encompassed everything the Oregon Cascades have to offer in spring: a little snow, a little sun, and nice conditions for a ski back to the lodge the next morning! Logan also put a ton of time into many thoughtful details that warrant their own blog post, so stay tuned for more. For the time being, we hope you enjoy some images of this amazing couple!

Nicole + Marcus | E-session

0 Comments/ in engagement / by Ryan

We are excited to photograph Nicole and Marcus’ wedding this weekend. They are such an easygoing couple and a lot of fun to work with. We met up with them earlier this month for their engagement session in the Columbia River Gorge, and despite passing rain-squalls a great time was had by all. Thank you, Marcus and Nicole for being so relaxed despite the crazy Oregon spring weather!
