Corinna and Julie’s Commitment Ceremony at a Christmas Tree Farm in Salem, Oregon!

Corinna and Julie tied the knot at the family Christmas tree farm. It was a beautiful affair! Julie had a custom suit made for herself at Duchess, a custom vintage inspired suit maker. Corinna had a beautiful colorful dress as well, and it was made by Elizabeth Dye at English Depot. Julie arrived at the wedding on a Kubota ATV driven by the two ring bearers!

One of the highlights was that the drinks were made by Mint Restaurant/Bar.  Corinna told me that it was one of the first things they booked. The cocktails looked great and the guests really enjoyed them. What a cool idea! The catering was by Wild Pear catering in Salem, they did a great job! DJ was Dj Beyonda.

We later did a great photo shoot with Corinna’s sister’s horse. I love horses, so that was really fun for me!

Guests and family can see the rest of the wedding pictures here. Please ask for the password from the couple.

Cathy and Ahmed’s at Chemeketa Eola in the Northwest Viticulture Center in Salem

Cathy and Ahmed were married on the beautiful  patio overlooking the vineyards of the Northwest Viticulture Center.  Cathy’s sister, a florist and owner of Rhyme and Reason in Salem, Oregon, beautifully decorated the entire venue with stunning arrangements.  The undergoing theme of the wedding was Casablanca, which was projected on screens in the reception area.  Casablanca took place in Morocco, Ahmed’s native country. Cathy and Ahmed loved getting their photos taken, so we got to shoot in many locations on the vineyard.

Some of the cool highlights: river stones with words on them to make poems, home brewed beer (it was good!)

Ceremony Location: Chemeketa Eola
Baker: Papa Haydn

Christine and Matthew’s Wedding at the Scenic Zenith Vineyard in Salem Oregon

Christine and Matthew were married in Salem’s Zenith Vineyard.  The vineyard was in a beautiful rural area, we even crossed the Willamette River on a ferry boat to get there, it was pretty cool.  Everything looked spectacular from the table settings and food by Vibrant Table to the flowers by Green Thumb.  The whole day was quite remarkable, especially the sunset over the vineyards.   There was also the super funky DJ Nickel that they brought up from LA who had the dance floor packed the rest of the entire evening.  It was so much fun!
