Matt + Jen are a Seattle couple who were married at Gorge Crest Vineyards in the Columbia Gorge.  It works out well that Gabe and I tag team the northwest.  We were able to hangout with Matt + Jen in Greenlake, planning their destination wedding over coffee at Zoka, which is practically Gabe’s backyard in my opinion.





Sneakin a peek.

I’m a big fan of Jen’s veil and vintage style.  I overheard her say she found it through indybride.com.









Party on!

I’d also like to say “howdy” to our new friend Debbie who just started a rad personal blog, Bridal Hood, that features her experiences planning a destination Hood River / Columbia Gorge wedding (at Gorge Crest!).

We’ve been shooting in the Gorge quite a bit this summer and loving it. For Emily & Josh’s wedding, we had the pleasure of having our friend Jen second shoot - Cheers Jen!









Lovin’ the voodoo doughnut, way to represent PDX.

Gorge Crest Vineyards is just on the other side the Columbia River Gorge from Hood River.

Tech question: can you see how we lit this ring shot? What do you think?
