The Columbia Gorge is often what people think of when they imagine Oregon. Sweeping vistas of rolling hills, mountains and valleys that dip into a vast river. Top it off with a setting that includes the grand Mt. Hood behind you? Boom! Dream wedding location. In fact, Columbia Gorge weddings have become so popular recently that most of our couples getting married there aren’t even from Portland! Rather, it’s the new destination wedding site. It’s mountains over beach, green trees over sand, rivers over oceans. We happen to agree with these couples that you can save the beach for your honeymoon and first tie the knot in arguably the most beautiful region of the United States. The Pacific Northwest (#pnwonderland, #pnwwedding, #upperleftisbest) is popular for good reason. We have been to the Columbia Gorge for weddings more in the last two years than ever before and we hope the trend never stops! Check out weddings on our blog from Skamania Lodge, Mt. Hood Organic Farms, Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast and the Gorge Discovery Center to name a few.
The Griffin House Wedding Hood River
Kera & Peter
Words can’t express how happy we were to photograph Kera and Peter’s intimate and romantic Griffin House wedding in Hood River, Oregon…. But that said, I’ll try to use the best words I can to sum up this couple and this magical place.
Mt. Hood Organic Farms Wedding
Rachael & Matthew
You may be starting to notice a trend on this blog…and it’s probably the frequency of a Mt. Hood Organic Farms wedding. We aren’t going to argue with this trend as this is one of the prettiest wedding venues in all of Oregon. We would be content to photograph 10,000 weddings at Mt. Hood Organic Farms.
Bridal Veil Lakes Wedding
Katie & Royeric
What can we say about this truly magical wedding…Katie and Royeric crafted a wedding that embodied every ounce of their personal style, deep love for one another and the connection they have to their family and friends. Their Bridal Veil Lakes wedding honored both their relationship as well as the Mexican culture that means so much to Royeric and his family.

Hannah and Keith are equal parts hilarious, sensitive, sexy and so much fun. We trekked all over Government Cove, hitting up every inch of this charming little island for their engagement photos.
Sunshine Mill Winery Wedding
Kyle & Tiffany
We love a venue with history. The Sunshine Mill Winery has the history, the charm, the beauty and the unique character that made us extra excited to photograph all the possibilities there. We are so thankful to this incredibly kind and amazing couple, Kyle and Tiffany, for throwing the most perfect Sunshine Mill Winery wedding one could ask for.
