Timberline Lodge Wedding

Sierra and Brian’s incredibly beautiful and meaningful Timberline Lodge Resort wedding is one we will never forget. Two days after their wedding we received this detailed testimonial from them, which describes their Timberline Lodge Resort wedding story so well.

“Quick backstory, to justify the long review: It is my opinion that I keep 4 main things from my wedding: 1) the spouse, 2) the rings, 3) the papers, and 4) the photos. I have grown up in a household that treasures pictures, and I never miss an opportunity to take pictures. For me, picking a photographer for the wedding was a huge undertaking. I wanted someone my partner and I both felt comfortable with, who would lend us their expertise, but also keep the moments genuine. Jos and Tree were the perfect choice for our photographers, and we haven’t even gotten the pictures back yet. We found Jos and Tree while looking for a photographer for our December 2020 wedding. We loved them from our first consultation, and I remember more laughter than anything else in that meeting. You might have guessed it from the date of our original wedding, but we had to postpone. My partner and I eloped to get the legalities done, and rescheduled the wedding to December 2021. Jos and Tree rolled with it, made sure we had our new weekend, and we all promised to keep in contact through the year if anything changed.

For my partner and I, our world was shaken up when he was diagnosed with cancer. Most of 2021 was spent in and out of the hospitals, and wedding planning completely fell to the side. It wasn’t until late September that we really started to get our feet under us and get back into things. It was Jos and Tree who reached out to us, checking in, giving us specific goals and agenda items that we needed to discuss. Meanwhile, most of the other things in our wedding remained a little chaotic up to the week beforehand. Many of our vendors were not on top of things and were difficult to reach. Three days before the wedding, our coordinator had a death in her family and had to bow out. A tree fell on the room where our welcome dinner was supposed to be held.

The first big storm of the season rolled in on the day of our wedding with 50 MPH winds, so nobody got there on time, set up was late, getting ready ran late, our wedding frankly ended up being a small mess. The one constant we had was Jos and Tree, always on time, exactly where we needed them, going above and beyond every step of the way. When I say above and beyond, I don’t just mean in the lengths they went to get a great photo for us. I mean things like their assistant Alex helping my mom do her makeup, Alex and Tree helping a bridesmaid who got stuck in her dress in the bathroom, Jos and Tree keeping the wedding on time, and my partner and I focused on what to do next (without someone guiding the party, things can get hectic). When every car got snowed in during our wedding and had to get dug out, their car was one of the last to leave after making sure we got on the road safely. We worked with Jos and Tree for three days straight. All three days had Jos and Tree trudging through the snow and wind and weather, and showing up with bright smiles and an enthusiasm for their work that made it a joy to work with them. One final note – Jos and Tree won’t just say ‘whatever you guys want for your pictures. They will give you all the information, give you guidance, and at times they will just tell you the best way to go about something. I cannot say enough good things about them. We loved them, our guests loved them, and I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone without reservation.” – Sierra & Brian
