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!

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.

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.

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 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!

Tiffany and David’s wedding at the Garden Vineyards was a classy vineyard wedding affair with gorgeous place settings, great flowers, wonderful food and beautiful summer weather. They had cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake, and used place cards supported by corks. Art of Catering created some wonderful dishes and appetizers. A string quartet played music for the guests. Everything went smoothly thanks to their coordinator Jeanne Lapp. Hummingbirds were in full swing - I was able to grab couple shots of them, check it out below!

Amanda and Brian tied the knot at Garden Vineyards on a perfect day for a vineyard wedding. They currently live in Tennessee but wanted to have a great outdoors wedding with Oregon wine country feel. The Air Show was going on at the same time as well as you can see in one of the pictures. The ceremony was beautifully officiated by Jim Stonier while the couple was surrounded by views of the vines and occasional flyby. Catering was done superbly by Art of Catering and the DJ was none other than Eric Wright who was a perfect fit.
Amanda and Brian, and also Father of the Bride, Chris, took dance lessons from the maid of honor Stacey who is a professional dancer. You can see the results in the photos. Stacey and I also had one little dance at the urging of Amanda, and had a great swing dance! Needless to say Amanda and Brian rocked their first dance and Chris did a great job dancing with his daughter as well.
