Tiff & Adam’s wedding ceremony and reception were so extremely personalized. Bridal Veil Lakes is beautiful and natural. The Gorge wedding venue really suited the couple’s relaxed style perfectly. During the wedding ceremony, Hawaiian customs such as having the bride’s grandfather place leis on the couple, were incorporated. The officiants were personally selected too, the groom’s father and the bride’s college mentor.

They handmade their own wedding rings through a workshop in Seattle. Each table was decorated with delicate pieces of paper with questions on them, the type that makes you really think. The bride tossed a lavender bouquet for good luck to all the guys and girls that wanted to catch it. Camp songs were typed up and passed out, and of course there was the beer chugging canoe race! Every little detail was thought out, and was just completely Tiff and Adam.

Tiffani – Thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer, and letting me share your day!

It was my first trip to this park, and it’s incredible. Though I live in the western suburbs of Portland, I’ll definitely recommend Esther Short to my clients for engagement sessions and portraits. It is in an urban part of Vancouver. The park itself has lots of big shade trees, a gazebo, another large structure, play areas, and plenty of open lawn.

I try to keep formals casual and fun. We took the truly formal formals (straight line, look at the camera… sort of thing) and then squeezed in some relaxed ones.

Here’s a teaser, their gorgeous detailed blue and white square wedding cake. The cake looks like presents gift wrapped perfectly, stacked and topped with a big blow.
