Vineyard View Celebrations Wedding
An Overcast June Wedding with Sunlit Moments at Vineyard View Celebrations
Absolutely loved S+B’s dance party garden wedding with a vineyard view. They held their day at Vineyard View Celebrations in Scotts Mills, Oregon (an area just outside of Oregon’s capital, Salem.
This venue is great because of its unique mix of locations. There venue itself is a beautiful garden that overlooks a large field that’s great for golden hour couple’s photos, and a vineyard for couples who want a little touch of Oregon wine country as a part of their day.
The Reception: A Big Dance Party
The bride, S, spent an entire year TWO years curating the perfect wedding playlist. For her, music wasn’t just a backdrop to the celebration—it was an essential part of the experience, and the dance floor was filled to the brim the entire night.

Tin Roof Barn Wedding
A Summer Wedding at Tin Roof Barn: A Magical Night Under the Stars
Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge, Tin Roof Barn is one of those venues that seems tailor-made for a rustic fall wedding.
L + W decided to fully embrace fall by choosing rich reds, burnt oranges, and golden yellows as their wedding colors. They decorated the existing natural vine arch with their vibrant flowers, and decided on red pops of color for their table napkins.
We had an unusually sunny early October day that was perfect for couple’s photos. A big tip for this location is to plan sunset photos earlier than expected. True sunset light is blocked by the surrounding hills!

Summer Wedding on Sauvie Island
As the summer sun cast its golden hues over the picturesque Sauvie Island in Portland, Oregon, love blossomed and colors came alive at Sophie and Jackson’s unforgettable rainbow themed wedding. This whimsical celebration embraced not only the vibrant spectrum of hues but also the deep spiritual significance of the chakras.
Sophie and Jackson’s Summer Wedding on Sauvie Island was a testament to their vibrant personalities and their deep connection with each other and the world around them. Inspired by the radiant beauty of rainbows, they chose to infuse their special day with an array of vivid colors. From the decor to the attire, every element was carefully curated to create a stunning visual tapestry that celebrated their love story.
Escaping the bustle of the reception, Sophie and Jackson ventured with me to a serene field on Sauvie Island, where we immortalized their love against the breathtaking canvas of a golden sunset.
Jackson, a talented guitarist, serenaded their guests during a lively reception. The rhythmic strums of the guitar reverberated through the air, intertwining with the laughter and applause of their loved ones.
As a wedding photographer, it was an honor to capture the radiant essence of Sophie and Jackson’s rainbow themed wedding. The vibrant colors and their spiritual significance provided a unique opportunity to craft visually captivating images that embodied the couple’s love and shared beliefs. From the tender exchange of vows to the playful moments of celebration, every frame immortalized the deep connection and the kaleidoscope of emotions that engulfed the day.

Oswego Hills Vineyard Wedding
Chloe and Julian held their elegant winery wedding on a beautiful sunny summer day at Oswego Hills Vineyard.
The rolling green hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley are home to some of the most stunning wine country in the world. I personally love Oswego Hills because of its classic white-pillared altar nestled amongst its expansive vineyard, and its bright and airy reception area. C and J chose to keep things simple and sophisticated with elements of tropical greenery that highlighted the lush element of the surrounding forest.
C and J decided to hold a surprise traditional Japanese Taiko drum performance for their guests. Three performers taught guests dances and played a shakuhachi (bamboo flute), shamisen (a three string instrument similar in shape to a guitar), and Taiko drums.

Redwoods Hoyt Arboretum Wedding
Maddie and Alex were married in a fairy tale forest ceremony at the redwood tree deck in Hoyt Arboretum. This Redwoods Hoyt Arboretum Wedding location is just a short drive from Portland, Oregon. The deck is the perfect location for both small weddings and elopements. And there is nothing quite like being married among these old giants. Something about it feels very uniquely PNW.
Keep in mind, parking can be limited at this location. Carpooling is usually the best plan of action.
The bride chose to get ready at a location in the Pearl overlooking the city, while the groom chose a house with a modern cabin feel and a large backyard. There are a plethora of options within ten minutes of forest park and it is easy to find one that fits both your unique style and budget.
The wildflower floral arrangements added a whimsical touch to this wedding and were provided by Vibrant Flowers.
After their Redwoods Hoyt Arboretum Wedding, everyone headed to the Sentinel Hotel for an intimate dinner in the Library Room. The hotel is located right downtown Portland within walking distance of both Powell’s bookstore and the Pearl.

A Forested Oregon Coast Wedding
Matt and Britta held their ceremony in the lush dark green forests of the Oregon coastline. I really love the versatility of the Oregon coast. One moment you can be in a mossy old growth forest, and with a five minute walk, you can arrive at a gently sloping dune filled beach nestled between large rocky cliffs. The Oregon coastline is always one of my first suggestions for clients traveling from outside of Oregon who contact me looking for elopements with dramatic backdrops. Nothing beats the unique formations found on Pacific Northwest beaches.
Colorful sunsets can be few and far in between on Oregon beaches, but when they happen, there is nothing quite like them. Everything is bathed in glowing reds, oranges, and purples.

Saint Petersburg Florida Beach Wedding
Sarah and Bradley celebrated their love with a beautiful Saint Petersburg Florida Beach Wedding.
The couple started their wedding day by getting ready with their closest friends and family at the Bellwether Beach Resort. The resort overlooks the beautiful lapping waves and white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. There is something so classically romantic about a beach wedding. While Sarah and Brad chose to follow tradition and hold their ceremony at a nearby Catholic church, they decided to hold their reception right on the coast.
Sarah and her bridesmaids hopped in a charming white street car rented from Star Trolley on their way to the ceremony.
Sarah and Bradley’s love story begins with the groom, who, during his formative years, attended a Catholic school nestled in the heart of Saint Petersburg. The couple chose to exchange their vows at the very church that had played a significant role in the his life while embarking on a new chapter of their own.
Following the heartfelt ceremony, the celebration continued at the Bellwether Beach Resort, where coastal charm met luxury. From the delicate floral arrangements to the elegantly adorned tables, every element came together to reflect the couple’s unique style and love for one another. As the sun began its descent, casting golden hues across the horizon, I snuck away with the couple to catch a stunning cotton candy sunset.
