Felicia and Mike’s Garden Vineyards Wedding

We actually met with Felicia and Mike the night before their wedding to photograph their rehearsal dinner in their home with their friends and family.  Well, it was more like a party then a dinner. It was a lot of fun and we got to meet all the guests the night before, so come wedding day we were already part of the circle.  Their ceremony and reception were held at Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro, Oregon.  We have photographed a lot of weddings at Garden Vineyards, but this was a bit different as Fall had set upon the vineyard and all it’s changes were taking place.  There were stunning arrangements of beautiful flowers by Anna Mara Flowers throughout the grounds, which really added that special touch.

Wendy and Jeff’s Riverview Restaurant Wedding

Wendy and Jeff’s wedding day was so much fun! It just happened to be a ferociously windy day! Crown Point was so windy that 20 minutes before the wedding, they decided to move their ceremony from Crown Point Park overlooking the Columbia River Gorge to the beautiful grounds of the Riverview Restaurant on the banks of the Sandy River.

We still got up there after the ceremony with the whole wedding party in a stretch Hummer, it was breathtaking. Once we returned to the restaurant the entire place was decorated with an array of beautiful arrangements from Sammy’s Flowers. To cap the evening off everybody enjoyed great food and dancing. Riverview Restaurant is a great setting and the staff was very friendly!

Karen and Justin enjoyed a mild summer wedding at Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro.  We love shooting at Garden Vineyards, it’s just too beautiful, especially when paired with City Flowers‘ amazing spread of stunning flowers.  Pressure Point Band was also in attendance, which usually means that that the party will be jumping during the reception, which it was, big time!

Kelly and Brant’s Wedding Ceremony and Reception at Garden Vineyards (Associate Coverage)

Kelly and Brant had an amazing wedding at Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro Oregon.  The vineyard was adorned with beautiful flowers from Geranium Lake, and tasty food and drinks provided by Art of Catering.  There were stunning dramatic clouds that really lent themselves to some of the images we captured in the vineyard.   After dinner the reception was led by Bart Hafeman, who not only played guitar for the welcome reception, but led everybody into the evening with his great music selections.  At the end of the night the sparklers came out and Kelly and Brant found themselves dashing through them, it was so much fun!

Monica and Michael’s Wedding at Vancouver Hilton Hotel

Monica and Michael started their day with a wedding tea ceremony where they served tea to their relatives as a sign of respect.   They then had their ceremony at the beautiful St. James Catholic Church in downtown Vancouver.  After the ceremony Monica and Michael were taken away by a horse drawn carriage to the Esther Short Park across from the Vancouver Hilton.  We did some fun shots in the park before the couple headed into the Hilton to start their lovely reception.

Garden Vineyards Wedding of Pamela and Aaron

Pamela and Aaron, a lovely couple from New Mexico decided to have their wedding in one of the most beautiful vineyards in Oregon, Garden Vineyards.  We met up  a bit early to capture both Pamela and Aaron getting ready with their friends and family,  we followed them in a bus that they rented to the Pittock Mansion in NW  Portland.  There is an amazing view of the whole city from that view point!

After the ceremony the evening festivities took over, featuring a delicious meal from Art of Catering and then to Aaron from Maushole Productions taking care of the music and setting the mood on the dance floor.  At the evenings end Pamela and Aaron had one last task to accomplish, the gauntlet of fire. No, just sparklers, but they look pretty scary when your running through them fast!

Esther and Russel’s Wedding at Hotel Deluxe

Esther and Russel had a fun filled wedding! The ceremony was at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and then the ceremony was at the fabulous Hotel Deluxe. I love the vintage look of Hotel Deluxe, which definitely made for some unique backdrops.

During the trip from the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, we spotted a beautiull rainbow and made good use of it! The water front was also great for some pictures as most people stayed indoors due to rain!
