Marissa and Daniel had their wedding at the stunning Skamania Lodge overlooking the scenic Columbia Gorge. I have always wanted to photograph a wedding at Skamania lodge as I have eaten their awesome Sunday brunch many times and have always been mesmerized by the location.
This being a Jewish wedding, there were many Jewish traditions too, my favorite it is the hora (chair dance) of course. I love seeing the looks on the faces of whoever is being lifted in the air. Since their wedding was on July the 11th they also served Slurpees to their guests, honoring their 7-11 date. Marissa was a trouper - she had a cast/boot on her leg but you could not tell from the way she danced all night! The groom had scrabble cuff links - very cool! Marissa’s mother, Carol, is an accomplished photographer - check out her beautiful work here. Her dad, Daniel Isaak is also a very respected rabbi.

Jackie and Scott had a beautiful wedding at Mt Hood Bed and Breakfast. Scott, a fellow Duke grad and Jackie, the beautiful bride, compliment each other perfectly. I also have to give kudos to them on their choice of wine, Domaine Drouhin 2006 Laurene Pinot Noiris my favorite wine and the other local wines served were excellent as well. The wedding went well awesome, thanks to expert wedding day coordinatio by Molli Barss of Soiree event planning. Jackie and Scott had a beautifully choreographed routine to their first dance - this is something I recommend to all my couples! The dance floor was insanely packed, which was due to the band, Free Rain! The bride and groom left the wedding in a beautiful classic car!

This was a classy, fun and lighthearted wedding at the Garden Vineyards! There were lots of little kids running around which made for great photo opportunities as well.
Sarah’s dress was a vintage style beauty from Melissa Sweet Reverie Collection, and we had a ton of fun photographing it as well. The wedding favors were wine bottle openers, and they were a big hit! At the end of the night, awesome Art of Catering surprised the guests with cookies and milk and espresso.

Anna and Jan came out from New York to have their wedding in beautiful Hood River, Oregon at the Cathedral Ridge Winery. The winery was a pretty cool place with views of both Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. As party favors they gave out mason jars filled with fresh blueberries. In the evening the sun sank below the horizon and the lighting became amazing, especially on Mt. Hood.

After the ceremony the party began to kick off with tons of wild dancing, tequila, a pinata, tacos, and fireworks! Yazmin from Sea of Dreams Wedding did a great job!

Michelle and Brian started their day at McMenamins Grand Lodge for their getting ready moments. Their hotels are great, you can spend hours at every McMenamins studying every detail and not see everything. Once we were finished we headed to Elk Cove Vineyards for the ceremony and reception. One gift that the couple received was amazing, it was a family crest made from over 1000 hand folded cranes!
