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!
