THE ROLLING VINEYARD HILLS DIDN’T DISAPPOINT FOR THIS SUMMER OREGON WEDDING!

I adore Rachel & Steven. From the minute we met in Tacoma for their engagement photos all the way to chasing the last bit of sun at their wedding, I’m grateful to call them friends! And, capturing their beautiful Oregon summer wedding at Zenith Vineyard was such a dream!

I remember first arriving that day and watching rain clouds roll in and out as Rachel checked the weather radar, waiting for a patch of sun for their first look. But, I remember the moment they first saw each other - and we all knew rain didn’t matter a single bit anymore! From then on - aside from a quick “let’s hide in the shed” moment with the bridal party during a down pour – the day just got more and more beautiful as the sun came out strong!

The whole day was so deeply filled with beautiful emotion! I definitely was tearing up behind my camera the whole ceremony! Steven and Rachel have a authentic, contagious joy that just lit up the whole entire day!

 We ended an amazing day with running around the vineyard rows as the sun dipped behind the hills, and then ran back inside to get those booties on the dance floor! Be sure to scroll all the way down so you don’t miss Rachel and Steven getting TOSSED IN THE AIR!!

 Also head all the way to the bottome to see how their timeline was a perfect example for an 8-hour wedding day! Plus see all the amazing people who made this day so wonderful!!

Steven & Rachel’s wedding was one of the most time efficient and effortless days! Their wedding day timeline is a GREAT example to put together a smooth day…
