Oregon Winery Wedding

Oregon Winery Wedding

Domaine Roy & Fils: Dundee, OR

Valerie & Peter

July 17th, 2021

Domaine Roy is a beautiful winery located in the heart of the Willamatte Valley. This winery couldn’t have been a more perfect wedding venue for Valerie and Peter. The views are amazing and the staff at Domaine Roy are a joy to work with.

We started the day by getting couples photos out of the way, before the ceremony. After the short and sweet ceremony on the deck overlooking the vineyard guests made their way inside to break bread and drink wine while also enjoying the beautiful views of the surrounding vineyard.

When I first talked to Valerie she told me about her business: Painted Light Glass, her work with glass was a big inspiration for some of the images taken on their wedding day. Creating images as the sun went down on the vineyard was the highlight of the day for me. I have never seen anyone drink red wine in a white dress as gracefully as Valerie did.

Rock Springs Ranch Wedding: Bend, OR

Bend Oregon Wedding

Natalie & Nick

Rock Springs Ranch is located just outside of downtown Bend, Oregon. The venue is nestled in quiet seclusion with tall surrounding timber, a Northwest-style lodge, beautiful pond, large pastures, an outdoor fireplace and plenty of cabins where friends and family can stay. Rock springs ranch is truly a hidden gem in Bend & the perfect place to plan a wedding easily and without hassle. The staff at Rock Springs Ranch are kind and helpful & can truly make your wedding vision come to life.

I was stoked to photograph Natalie & Nick’s wedding day at this extraordinary venue. They choose to have their ceremony in front of the pond & got down on the dance floor on the patio. I have always wanted to photograph a wedding with mismatched bridesmaid dress colors & Natalie made that dream come true for me. She’s an interior designer so her style and color coordination are superb.

Alsea Oregon Backyard Wedding

Mr & Mrs Nyhus

August, 2021

Alsea Oregon is nestled in Oregon Coast range on hwy 34 between Corvallis OR & Waldport OR. Highway 34 follows the beautiful Alsea River from the Willamette valley to the Oregon Coast, its a windy road but totally worth the beauty of the drive if you ever find yourself traveling between the Willamette Valley & the Oregon Coast.

Alsea oregon backyard wedding

This Alsea Oregon backyard wedding was magical. Every detail of this backyard wedding was well thought out and beautifully crafted. Lexi & Eric own a nice piece of property along the Alsea river that they turned into one of the most beautiful wedding venues I’ve ever had the pleasure of being at. Normally they raise cows in their pastures but on this day they raised a beautifully detailed wedding venue for their family & friends to celebrate with them at.

We started the day inside their home, popping Champagne, shotgunning beers & reading love notes. When I left the venue at 10pm there was a fine mist starting to settle into the low lying areas of the coast range, the chatting & laughter from the dance floor echoed through the little valley and into the surrounding forest.

Oregon City: Abernethy Center Wedding

Abernethy Center Wedding in the Veiled Garden

Brittany & Parker

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful summer wedding at Abernethy Center in Oregon City. Brittany & Parker were a joy to work with and every part of their wedding day was beautiful. They held their ceremony in the Veiled Garden which is secluded, serene & picturesque. Subtle breezes made the shade providing trees surrounding the garden dance around as they framed the ceremony procession.

The reception was held in the Abernethy Ballroom located across the street from the Veiled Garden & was the perfect inclusive space for an elegant wedding reception. The Abernethy venue space also has a chapel you can get married in if it rains, providing all your guests with plenty of space to stay dry.

Langdon Farms Wedding

Langdon Farms Wedding

Langdon farms is located in Aurora, Oregon close to the I-5 hwy. It’s about a 15 minute drive south of Portland, OR which makes it a perfect venue for any folks who don’t want to travel too far from the city, but also want a beautiful green location & an all inclusive venue. The event staff at this wedding were super helpful & the big “red shed” with giant roll up doors was perfect when the Oregon weather took a turn for the worst on this wedding day.

I met Gunn & Rene through Oregon Coast Hometown connections & I felt so honored to be selected as their photographer on their wedding day. Gunn has family who came from the other side of the world to celebrate her wedding day and this venue was perfect for them, I mean what’s better than leaving and not having to make sure the venue is cleaned up afterwards?

Langdon farms has so many great spots around the venue & lots of paved paths so that you’r beautiful white dress doesn’t get muddy when its wet and rainy in typical Oregon weather fashion.

Oaks Pioneer church, Sellwood OR Wedding

Oaks Pioneer church

Sellwood Oregon

Sherry & Dean

April, 2019

The Oaks Pioneer Church in Sellwood is the smallest & most beautiful church I have ever been in. The amazing stained glass windows are beautiful and were a perfect backdrop for this small wedding ceremony. There weren’t more than 30 people here to witness & be apart of S & D’s wedding ceremony, they wanted to keep it small, short & sweet and it was exactly that. It was so special to be apart of this small wedding.
