Paige and Paul are one of the hands-down cutest couples I’ve ever had the chance to work with. So much so that at one point we all wondered aloud if we should try for a few “serious” shots. But I’m a big fan of letting my couples’ personalities shine, and we just embraced it! Multnomah Falls provided a great backdrop for the two of them to cozy up…
Kat and Howie are East Coasters, but knew they wanted something different for their wedding. Kat’s sister lives out in the Columbia River Gorge, and the two fell in love with the breathtaking area during visits. When they found the Crag Rats Hut, it all fell into place. On a beautiful August afternoon, I was fortunate to be a part of their mountain-view wedding.
I’ve lived here five years now, and this view still takes my breath away. Good job, Oregon.
Congratulations, you two!
I feel pretty darn lucky to have been at this wedding. Meghan and Prescott have a pretty remarkable story: they spent their engagement living aboard their sailboat and taking it all the way from Seattle to New York. I loved it the moment I heard it. Living on a sailboat? Why…my parents did that with me and my siblings when I was a kid! Clearly we would get along just fine.
Prescott’s parents have a gorgeous piece of land in the Columbia River Gorge, and it was the perfect spot for the couple’s June wedding. And the weather? After a super-wet late spring, this sunny wedding was exactly what I was hoping for…
Meghan wore one of the loveliest gowns from J.Crew…
My favorite shot of the day!
Meghan and her family/friends spent so much time designing the little personal touches throughout. The whole look was very chic – lots of white and a rustic elegance. It was pretty incredible to think about her planning the whole thing from a boat, thousands of miles away!
It was pretty remarkable to be surrounded by all the love and happiness that day, and hear so many incredible stories of on-board adventures. You can follow along with their journey here: http://velellasdrift.wordpress.com/
