Sunriver Resort Wedding – Heather & Krishna
Heather and Krishna welcomed 125 guests into a gorgeous Pacific Northwest experience among tall pine trees and distant Cascade Mountains. Sunriver Resort is nestled in the high desert in Bend Oregon and invites some of the best feelings of freedom and relaxation you can find. Perhaps its the vanilla or butterscotch fragrance from the ponderosa pines, the spectacular views, or simply the calm flow of the nearby river. Friendly faces show up at every corner of this resort. Heather and Krishna...
Emily & Travis – Lost Lake, Oregon
Lost Lake is a hidden jewel for a romantic getaway. It's an incredibly gorgeous seasonal alpine lake spanning about 79 acres near Santiam Pass Highway. No motorized boats allowed making for tranquil waters. Every time we visit Lost Lake we experience a deep sense of peace and quiet. The lake beautifully mirrors Mt Hood in the distance and is surrounded by beautiful wildflowers, old-growth forests, and wildlife. This is the perfect spot for a fun easy swim, walking around the lake, and camping...

Kathleen & Sean – White Salmon, Oregon
Every time we reflect back on Kathleen and Sean's wedding we experience some of the most meaningful feelings. The way Kathleen and Sean marinate in their beautiful awareness of time and the people surrounding them is absolutely profound. The opportunity they took to express love and joy in every moment literally is the priority of all priorities. They planned their wedding with such thought yet also mature trust in letting things unfold as they will. The charming setting of the Tin Roof Barn...
Heather & Don – Cannon Beach, Oregon
Getting married at Surfsand Resort on the Oregon Coast at Cannon Beach on a warm summer day is absolutely marvelous. The expansive views of the distant ocean, far-reaching sandy beaches, and salt of the sea in the air invite the best of feelings. Having all of your guests sit outside on chairs, feet in the sand with a gentle breeze is such a lovely setting (growing solution for COVID with a small group, setting up chairs safely apart with the gentle wind). Heather, having a theatre background...
Portland Art Museum Wedding – Radhika & Shilpin
Radhika and Shilpin’s Portland Art Museum wedding was pretty much a dream within a dream. Pinks that ignite your eyes and blues that make you drown in wonder. “Indians are the Italians of Asia and vice versa. Every man in both countries is a singer when he is happy, and every woman is a dancer when she walks to the shop at the corner. For them, food is the music inside the body and music is the food inside the heart. ‘Amore’ or ‘Pyar’ makes everyone a poet.” – Gregory David Roberts. After 20...
Liz & Laurence – Exchange Ballroom, Portland
Liz and Laurence live in Hartford, Connecticut so planning their destination wedding in Portland Oregon relied on many experienced vendors from Portland. One of the most important vendors for them was finding The Exchange Ballroom and Cascade Rooftop atop the Eastside Exchange Building. It was perfect for the size and dynamic of their wedding, especially with Portland’s best catering and events company, Vibrant Table Catering & Events, who provided them with exceptional design, production,...
Francis & Greg – Portland
Francis and Greg know how to play and are willing to dive into any situation and make it their own. This chemistry to "invent" within their relationship is absolutely genius and beautiful. It really doesn't matter where they are, they just make magic happen. When we stepped near this fountain in Fernhill Park and the water spontaneously turned on spraying all of us, they just dove into it. And this was the beginning of their "engagement photo shoot" which means they were drenched with water...
Ava & Michael – Youngberg Hill, Oregon
When we heard Ava and Michael recently hiked 14 miles at the grand canyon,18 miles down the Zion Narrows, visited SE Asia, Portugal/Spain, and love to create new experiences and learn about different cultures, we knew we were in for a real adventure. Our experience with them began with a lifestyle engagement photo session in their hometown, Chicago. It was then we learned about how much they listen, communicate and trust each other and their deep love for family and friends. We immediately...
