{Wedding!} Amelia & Doug - 7.17.10 - After 10 years, they marry at Mt Hood Organic Farms, Oregon!

Another gorgeous day in the isolation and beauty of Mt Hood Organic Farms!


Bradi (the owner) and Cassandra (the on-site wedding coordinator) once again, did a fantastic job hosting the wedding this past Saturday. The weather was perfect, to the point in which there was no need for the big large white tent... tables and dance floor were out in the open air on the grass... How cozy! 


Warm and sunny, a light breeze and a fun atmosphere. Amelia & Doug's friends and family were young and fun and party goers! As soon as it was time for the reception music, the dancing began and it continued all night long! Coincidentally, two of their friends, Josh and I had just photographed as part of a promotional shoot with Portland based Jupiter Hotel! What a small world... familiar faces everywhere we look! Fun!

To recap the day, I need to include a link to our blog post where Amelia & Doug's Mt Tabor engagement session is. That was the first time we had ever met and totally hit it off, making it so much more comfortable for everyone at the wedding!

Amelia wore a simple off-white JCrew dress with pale blue glass beads as her necklace accent. Doug, believe it or not, found his entire attire at thrift stores in Portland! Such great finds... The ceremony was performed by their childhood friend. Instead of a unity candle, Amelia & Doug chose to plant an evergreen tree together, which they plan to give it a home in the forest and to visit for years to come. The reception music was a mix of Jack Johnson and the Grateful Dead. The table decorations were simple and fun containers filled with a variety of succulents... a very home made, simple, tasteful and relaxed wedding day. We loved every minute of it!

Here is a sneak peek of the day. As I gather names and links to all of the vendors who made the day possible, I will add them here :)

All of the images from their wedding are edited and on pictage!

Here is a slide show of around 250 of our most favorite ones, starting from their Engagement Session at Cathedral Park in Portland, aaaaall the way to the end of their wedding day at Gorge Crest Winery!

We love our brides! :)

This venue is officially one of our newest favorite ones in the area!

Gorge Crest Winery is on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge and its beautiful!

It was built and organized to be exclusively catered to wedding celebrations.

The wine they produce is made for and distributed only to the wedding guests, it is not sold anywhere else.

And its delicious!

Besides the beautiful venue, Meredith and Delane were also fantastic! Always fun to work with and photograph. They are fun and obviously completely in love with one another. Nothing but laughs and hugs of joy and pure bliss, with the two of them. 

Josh and I photographed their fall colors under the St John's Bridge engagement session, in Portland, last October, and knew right away that we would hit it off. Their attitude towards life and their happiness is contagious. Meredith's smile is especially addicting! ;)

Their DJ turned the party up a few notches towards the end of the evening and wow did everyone have fun! The dance floor was packed and the music was being mixed non-stop! Then the sunset hit and wow, what an even more amazing panorama surrounding this day. One of the very best wedding days yet!

Bride and Groom: Rebecca & David.
Wedding Date: June 19th 2010.
Wedding Location: Mt Hood Organic Farms, Mt Hood, OR (just south of Hood River).


What a gorgeous day!
It started off with ominous clouds, threatening rain. 
It never did rain, though; not only that, the sunshine came and glorious Mt Hood showed itself in all its glory!


You may remember Rebecca & David from an earlier blog post showing off their engagement photos from Hoyt Arboretum, right here in Portland. That day, they started off shy and not sure about how to be in front of the camera. The shoot evolved into the two of them hamming it up!

Thanks to their experience with us and cameras during their engagement session, their wedding photography was smooth and comfortable and they even told us they were having fun being the center of attention!

We are so happy to have been chosen to be a part of their wedding day. Not only did we get the opportunity to return to one of our favorite wedding sites of all time (Mt Hood Organic Farms, run by the always lovely Brady), we also got the chance to witness two love birds uniting in marriage, witnessed by their fun and kind group of family members and friends.

Here is a Sneak Peek of their gorgeous wedding day with many more to come, soon!
