The Griffin House Wedding | Laura + John

A fall wedding at the Griffin House, near Hood River, Oregon. This has quickly become one of my favorite Columbia River Gorge area wedding venues, due to its beauty and ease. The décor and layout of the property is incredibly well done for weddings of all sizes, from small mid-week elopements to 150+ guest events….

Union/Pine Wedding

Union Pine is one of the best downtown Portland wedding venues, with its ease of transit options and nearby accommodations. The venue itself is lovely, with nice window light and a beautiful interior. Many of the weddings that I’ve shot there have had food trucks pull up right out front for dinner!

Intimate Redwood Deck Elopement at Hoyt Arboretum

The last wedding of the year for 2018 and one of my favorites. The simple beauty of the Redwood Deck, as the rain filtered through the tall trees, made for the perfect elopement location.

Domaine de Broglie Vineyard Wedding | Willamette Valley

Updated June 7th, 2019. The beauty of Oregon’s wine country is somewhat underrated. I knew there were award wining wines, but I didn’t realize how gorgeous the area would be. With rolling hills of pines and long rows of vines going miles in all directions, I was in awe. There were wildfires hundreds of miles…

A Wedding in Antigua, Guatemala | Capuchinas Convent

A wedding in Antigua, Guatemala. The venue, Capuchinas Convent, was built in 1732 and is definitely one of the raddest places I’ve ever photographed. It was my first trip to Central America and I can’t wait to get back. The people, the food, the colors, the history, an incredible place.
