Oregon has so many incredible wedding locations, but House on Metolius is SERIOUSLY beautiful. This was the second wedding I’ve photographed there (check out Katie & Mark’s wedding there too!) and it was even better than I remembered. It’s quite a trek to get there from Portland and includes almost 100 miles of twists and turns through Santiam Pass. We even had to help someone get their car out of a ditch on the way home! But there’s definitely something special about getting married in the middle of nowhere, especially when your family and friends make the journey with you. It forces everyone to relax, take a vacation, enjoy the scenery and experience everything that Oregon has to offer. Now that I live in Virginia, I miss Oregon and it’s beauty but I’m lucky enough that my job allows me to travel back and forth between the two states. I’ll gladly fly back to Oregon to photograph at House on Metolius any day.

Congrats Molly & Paul! You two are the cutest! <3

Kristina & Louie’s wedding was so incredibly ethereal. I’ve never seen such magical lighting on a wedding day. Maybe it was the location, or the dreamy floral arrangements, or the adorable couple … whatever it was, it was stunning. Their wedding took place at Bridal Veil Lakes in Oregon and I think it might be one of my new favorite wedding locations. It was peaceful, spacious and beautiful. Kristina & Louie booked our Photography / DJ package, which my husband and I offer at a discounted rate to our clients for booking both of us. It includes 6 hours of photography and 5 hours of DJ-ing, which in our experience is the perfect amount of everything. Kristina and Louie are both such kind, lovely souls and I’m kind of obsessed with them. As always, I included a mix of film and digital images. Take a look at all of my favorite photos from their wedding day!
