Bridal Veil Lakes is one of my favorite wedding venues in the Columbia River Gorge, near Portland, Oregon. No matter what direction I point my camera, everything there is beautiful. And being basically on the side of the mountain overlooking the river, there always seems to be beautiful light. So I was delighted when Liz got in touch with me about photographing her wedding with Kelly there this summer. . .
It's always such a pleasure to shoot at Bridal Veil Lakes in the Columbia River Gorge near Portland, Oregon, and Sam + Melissa's beautiful wedding was no exception. These two families know each other very well, in the way that only families of high school sweethearts can, so it was truly lovely to see them come together to celebrate their shared history and a new marriage
It's possible I went a little JJ Abrams on this one, but that lens flare is just so pretty, I couldn't help myself. Getting close to being able to share Melissa + Sam's gorgeous Bridal Veil Lakes wedding photography -- Can't wait!
I went to visit Bridal Veil Lakes with Katie and Matt the week before their wedding and was in awe of how beautiful it was. Everything at this Columbia River Gorge wedding venue, from the ceremony site to the reception area, to the lake itself is just picture-perfect. I knew right away that this was going to be one gorgeous wedding. We were lucky to have beautiful weather on the big day, and the whole thing went off without a hitch — wonderful food, lovely friends and family, great music and lots of Scotch and Irish Whiskey made sure of it. It was such a pleasure to be a part of this beautiful wedding day! Many thanks to Katie and Matt for having me (and thanks to my lovely second-shooter Ally for the gorgeous photos!)
