I Love a Vineyard Wedding

Kate — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:40:16 +0000

Awesome yet difficult question, Paul! Oregon has countless amazing wedding venue options from which to choose. Personally, I really love shooting in urban locations such as The EcoTrust, but as of this moment if forced to choose, I’d have to say my favorite wedding locations are any of Oregon’s gorgeous vineyards. Typically when a couple chooses a vineyard wedding, the day’s main events happen on-site. Having key events including preparations (hair and makeup, getting in dress), first look, portraits, ceremony and the reception all occur in one location reduces stress and travel time. This opens up more time for the bride and groom to enjoy the day with friends and family, take extra time for beautiful, creative portraits or just relax and take it all in! I recently documented Janina and Alex’s wedding day at Vista Hills Vineyard in Dundee and absolutely loved the venue. The surroundings and accommodations were completely gorgeous and the staff was wonderful to work with!

Stealing Away

Stealing the bride and groom away from the reception for ten minutes of relaxed, fun and emotional portraits during golden hour makes for some of the loveliest images of the day! The light is ideal, stress levels are low and there is so much for the couple to celebrate! I don’t remember what exactly was so funny at this very moment, but I do remember what a blast we had riding the golf carts up to the 18th hole and spending time creating a very lovely set of portraits of the newlyweds.

Kari and Eric’s wedding day was absolutely wonderful. They were married at Old Laurelhurst Church and celebrated into the night at their Oswego Lake Country Club reception.

Delighted

I absolutely love the expressions displayed as Janina’s father is walking her up the aisle to Alex, her equally delighted husband-to-be. Moments such as these are priceless.

Jamie whispered something clearly hilarious to his new bride Sarah! It’s truly an honor to capture such special moments and genuine happiness on film. For highlights of their beautiful, joyful, relaxed wedding day at Champoeg Wine Cellars, view Jamie and Sarah’s slideshow!
