Among the vines and white hydrangeas of Lachini Vineyards, Mackenzie and Doug created a celebration shaped by soft details and the surrounding landscape. A white and green floral palette complemented the natural beauty of the venue, while Mackenzie’s fitted drop waist gown and sleek bun brought a chic simplicity to her bridal look. With vineyard views framing each part of the day, the celebration came to a sweet close with a white cake topped with fresh raspberries. Congratulations, Mackenzie and Doug!

LESLIE & NICHOLAS
The Griffin House
Preview Film

Elegance, sweeping views, and community were in abundance at Leslie and Nick’s stunning Griffin House wedding. There’s nothing quite like getting married on the edge of a cliff on the Columbia Gorge.

A special shoutout to their catering teams, my foodie heart (and stomach) were very happy.

Beyond thrilled to have been part of this celebration!

A light drizzle five minutes before the ceremony. Sunshine for the vows. Katherine and Chris exchanged promises surrounded by their closest people, with string music drifting through the garden at the Columbia River Gorge Hotel. Elegant, intimate, simple, and we are happy to have been a part of it.

Hoorah to the joint efforts of:

Amaterra with all the flowers! Oregon is literal floral heaven in the springtime and Bridget took full advantage of all that bountiful beauty with her soft and lovely wedding design. Her fresh and glowy face was the perfect complement 🤍

We love the clean and classy look of a Black and White color scheme. The wood chairs used here added a touch of warmth to the design too 😍

When Hannah and Daniel met on their first day of college, they were instantly smitten. The creative duo bonded over their shared love of collaborating on passion projects—rebuilding old cars, producing podcasts, starting a music production company, to name a few. However, their ultimate collaborative endeavor was their summer wedding at the Maryhill Museum of Art, an eclectic Beaux-Arts-style jewel overlooking the Columbia River Gorge (and one of the bride’s favorite childhood spots to visit).
Once vows were exchanged, the speakeasy- style reception hummed to life, treating guests to Hannah’s talents—from the bar she hand-built to the silk signage she made and the custom cocktails she created. The couple’s love for music—Daniel is a San Diego-based musician and sound engineer—ensured the reception was a true party, with live music performances by their friends in the industry, and a surprise, two-song appearance by the groom on drums. The night was full of dancing, music and loved ones celebrating Hannah and Daniel’s next chapter.
