Kristina and Scott
A Silcox Hut Wedding at Timberline Lodge

I had the pleasure of first meeting Kristina and Scott at their Oregon coast engagement session and now am honored to have been a part of their majestic day at their unique Silcox Hut wedding. Built in 1939, Silcox Hut was originally used as a warming hut but has now transformed into the ultimate mountain bed and breakfast. Sitting atop Mt. Hood at a staggering 7,000 ft and approximately 1,000 ft above Timberline Lodge, we had to take either snowcats or 4-wheel ATV’s up to the quaint hut. Being that Kristina and Scott are an adventurous and nature-oriented couple & I couldn’t have imagined a more fitting venue for their intimate wedding. Kristina looked absolutely stunning walking down the aisle makeup by the talented Olivia Hawthorne and hair by Pin It Pretty. I especially loved seeing Kristina’s son, Aiden, walk her up the stairs of the hut to the aisle. Surrounded by Silcox’s incredible wooden architecture, Kristina and Scott exchanged vows to one another in front of their family and close friends. I love that they incorporated a tree-planting ceremony of an evergreen, which they will later re-plant in their yard. At over a mile above the ground, we were above the clouds and were able to create some incredible sunset photos. Silcox is truly a magical place and I am so happy to have been entrusted with capturing the undeniable love Kristina and Scott share. Wishing many years of love and happiness to this kind & wonderful couple!

Congrats Brianna and Jon! I had such a great time photographing their fun, energetic and polka-dot inspired day! I had the pleasure of meeting B&J at Kristen and Jered’s wedding in 2009. So awesome!  Their ceremony took place at the lovely St. Mary’s Catholic Church and their reception partied on at the Valley River Inn in Eugene, Oregon. It was a lovely day and the sun and the love between B&J made all smile. The party rocked the house and the dancing didn’t quit! SO much fun 🙂 Thanks Brianna and Jon for inviting me to document your rad day! Thanks for assisting Lindsay and Allison!

Suzanne and Joe’s wedding was a dream of a day! The Garden in the Woods is a stunning venue in the country hills of Albany, Oregon. On the drive in, the guests ride over a lake with stunning cranes welcoming them. The Oregon rain did come, but we dodged it as much as possible and as soon as the unique ceremony was about to begin, the sun shined down and Suzanne and Joe said I do. From hand-fasting to rock throwing, the ceremony was rad. The party went on through the night with fun music, great food and impromptu karaoke. Suzanne’s awesome dress was a custom made piece from the AniA Collection. So hot! Thanks S&J for inviting me to document an awesome party celebrating a great love!

As I start to reminisce about the beauty and power of Courtney and Brad’s Bahamian wedding I get goosebumps, as the memories of the sea, the vivid colors and the warm-hearted nature of everyone involved starts flooding back. This makes me so happy. Brad’s genuine and caring nature and Courtney’s fun-loving and compassionate personality welcomed us and showed us why their family and friends traveled to be near them on this day. Travis and I thank you for having us there on your remarkable day.
