Sarah and Tony’s Wedding at the Resort at the Mountain (Associate Coverage)

Sarah and Tony were married at The Resort at the Mountain in Welches, Oregon.  The Resort at the Mountain is a gorgeous golf resort at the base of Mt. Hood boasting breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, and the Zig Zag river.  Their ceremony was a top a  hill overlooking the golf course.  Sarah’s brother and Tony’s sister both delivered heart warming performances during the ceremony which brought both tears and smiles to all the guests.   During the toasts, Tony’s brothers showed a classic video which Tony had made of himself as a teenager flexing his “pythons” for the camera.  The video went on for about 8 minutes, the whole place was alive with laughter, it was great.  After the toasts and the cake, the dance floor was occupied all night long ending with Sarah’s rendition of Mr. Roboto.  Domo Arigato.

Sarah and Patrick at McMenamins Edgefield Blackberry Hall

Sarah and Patrick had a lovely wedding  at the beautiful Blackberry Hall. The day started with a little oops when Patrick, on his quest for some pear brandy and whiskey broke some glasses at the McMenamins store, but that was the only misstep during the whole day. Everything ran smoothly, there were lots of dancing and everybody enjoyed the good times!

I also have to mention the many different types of pies that were waiting for the guests and the cool pie topper!

Ada and Brad at the Governor Hotel

Ada and Brad had a very unique wedding, starting at the First Baptists Church in Portland, and then moving to Governor Hotel Heritage Ballroom. They had around 400 fun guests. Ada had three dresses for the various events, such as the tea ceremony - a traditional white dress, a red dress and a pink dress.  Their wedding place cards were golf themed.  The table decorations were gorgeous!

Lindsay and John at McMenamins Blackberry Hall

I love weddings at McMenamins Edgefield - beautiful murals and paintings, great light and a lot of fun couples! Lindsay and John were such a couple with lots of great friends and family.

One of the fun parts of the wedding was at the end -  all the boys got together and serenaded Lindsay. Everybody danced to the music of King Pins. Lots of fun!

Mary and Chris’ Wedding at Wine Country Farms

Mary and Chris’s tied the knot at beautiful Wine Country Farms in Dayton, middle of Oregon wine country! Their ceremony was at St. Peter Catholic Church at Newberg. The weather was gorgeous, and lots of friends, old and new attended the wedding.

Their wedding planner was Amy from Blush Bridal and thanks to her team, everything ran smoothly. The couple traveled between Wine Country Farm and St. Peter’s in a 1958 metallic blue Rolls Royce Silvercloud. There were some great speeches as well - families of Mary and Chris knew each other for a long time and the respect and love for each other showed! One of the fun moments of the wedding was when Mary and her girlfriends performed a song using microphones (hairbrushes) like they used to before they went out to party at college.

Associate Coverage: Jessica and Cory’s Elegant Vineyard Wedding

Jessica started her day off at Hotel Lucia Boutique Hotel in downtown Portland getting ready with her girlfriends for her big day. She then met up with Cory at the gorgeous Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro, decked out with beautiful flowers from Tommy Luke, later in the afternoon. They both looked great!

Many of their guests were from back East, so it was fun to see them enjoy the lovely Oregon wine country. They had a beautiful ceremony that was officiated by Jessica’s close friend, and exchanged super cool rings (see below). As the day turned gradually to night all the guests enjoyed their time together over dinner with Jessica and Cory. Once it was fully dark the guests were treated to sparklers, fabulous cake from Papa Haydn, and an evening of dancing with All Wright Music.

Associate Coverage: Erin and Jeremy’s Wedding at Garden Vineyards

Erin and Jeremy were married at the extraordinary Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro, Oregon, which is becoming one of our favorite ever places to shoot.  It was also probably the hottest day of the summer! Everything looked amazing and things ran perfectly thanks to Soiree wedding planners - the flowers by Geranium Lake were beautiful, the Oregon Ducks themed wedding cake looked amazing, and the guests were wowed by food from Art of Catering. We also had the pleasure of working with Focal Point Video who are very easy to work with. Once the sun went down behind the green hills surrounding the vineyard the party started to heat up again!

Shannon and Eric’s Garden Vineyard Wedding

Shannon and Eric held their wedding ceremony in the very beautiful St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in NW Portland.  After the touching ceremony, they were whisked away in an amazing vintage metallic blue Rolls Royce limousine headed to Hillsboro’s Garden Vineyards.  Upon arriving to the scenic vineyard, the staff of  Art of Catering greeted Shannon and Eric with delicious cosmopolitans.  Every one of their friends and family had a chance to unwind at the venue with both breath taking views and delicious food and wine.

Once dusk started to approach and after dinner was served, the couple unveiled a “Scotch and Cigar” bar for their guests to get loosened up before the dancing was to begin.  I had no idea what I was in store for! The band was Hit Machine. WOW.  What started as a band playing the classic standards turned all of a sudden into an all out leopard print rock fest.  No kidding!  I had a hard time even finding space on the dance floors! What a night!
