Allie & Ryan | A Wedding at Gorge Retreat in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Gorge Retreat is a private eight-acre property overlooking the Columbia River, ten minutes from Hood River, and it is one of the most spectacular places I have ever photographed a wedding. Allie and Ryan got married on a dock at the edge of a spring-fed pond, with the Gorge rising behind them, surrounded by people who love them — including a bridesmaid party with a story I will never forget.
Wahclella Falls Maternity Session | Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Before the shoot, Brianna told me she was going to be in Vogue one day. She wasn't wrong. After I submitted this maternity portfolio from Wahclella Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, one of her photos was published by Vogue — and I FaceTimed her immediately to catch her reaction. She hiked to the base of one of my favorite waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest in a golden yellow lace gown and looked every bit the editorial model she is.
Skamania Lodge Wedding in the Columbia River Gorge
Jillian and Ryan said "I do" at Skamania Lodge in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge — a day that started with private vows in the forest, moved to a sun-drenched ceremony with the Cascades as their backdrop, and ended with s'mores around the fire pit as the mountains faded into dusk. It was an intimate, joyful celebration filled with lawn games, heartfelt moments, and the kind of easy happiness that makes a wedding feel like the best party you've ever been to.
