Nature-loving party people who wanted to celebrate their family and friends and their dog (who is such a good boy). Couldn't have done it better!
They prepared for their adventure at Jupiter NEXT, photos at Hoyt Arboretum, a wedding & delicious food at Cooper's Hall, and then after party at Holocene!
If you enjoy this type of vibe, check out their engagement session in the Columbia Gorge, or this other wedding at Cooper's Hall, or this one at Cooper's Hall with photos at Washington Park.
Can’t beat the view. This laid back wedding brought family & guests from across the country, up Timberline road via an aerial shot by Stanley Kubrick*. When I arrived, no horror film awaited me*, just the groom chilling on a patio chair looking at the mountain and I knew I was in the right place. Maybe I’d always been there?*
*References of the 1980 film by Stanley Kubrick “The Shining”, which filmed a few small portions of the film at Timberline Lodge, using it as the facade of the film’s Overlook Hotel. You come here for wedding content, you leave with horror film knowledge! Yay weddings!

Tucked away on a cliff overlooking the Columbia Gorge, the Griffin House is perched, welcoming sweet, joyful weddings like this one. In the middle of May, the rosy pink dogwood was blooming and tasty drinks were shared over discussions by people reunited, with frequent glances downriver, feeling lucky to be right where we were.
Coordinated by Everlasting Events Co, hosted by The Griffin House, drinks by Tiddly Trailer, food by Rooted in the Gorge, music by John Ross Music, florals by Trellis Flowers, and makeup by Kasia Blackburn.

I love Sauvie Island, and overjoyed that these two and their lil’ babe invited me to photograph their celebration after rescheduling through COVID. It was laid back, cozy, and such an authentic loving experience for family and friends.
