This was such a fun wedding in West Linn, at Weddings on the Hill! If you’ve followed my blog for long, you know that I frequently photograph weddings at this great venue. It never disappoints, and I love the owners and staff!
Weddings and Wildfires
There are often wildfires in this part of the country, this time of year. And this weekend was no exception. The area already had a bit of haze, but a fire broke out just a couple towns away, the night before the wedding day, so it was extra hazey. The sky had an orange cast, which sort of makes the whole day feel a bit like golden hour.
Weddings on the Hill
I started the day taking photos of the girls and the guys getting ready. It was a really fun group of bridesmaids and groomsmen! And I forgot to mention, the couple had their adorable dog along for the ride. He hung out with the girls all morning, wearing his cute bowtie.
After everyone was dressed and ready, the couple had a first look, with pup too! We took some portraits around the venue and then did some wedding party portraits and then some family portraits. Afterward, it was time for the ceremony! The couple were married outdoors, underneath a lovely chuppah, which represents the home they will build together. They had two officiants, and incorporated Jewish traditions alongside a traditional wedding service.
Fun Wedding in West Linn
After the ceremony, they had an outdoor cocktail hour and then the party started! The couple was especially excited for the Hora, where they sat in chairs and were lifted in the air by friends and family, while everyone dances around them. It was very joyful! This crowd really loved to dance, and I loved taking so many fun photos of the dancefloor.

Crystal, great pictures. It was a joyous night and you captured it well. I might add, that it was a full moon, known as a Harvest Moon. I got a picture of the moon as I left the venue I would love to share with you.
Thanks for being part of our fun family gathering.

What a gorgeous day, a beautiful wedding, and a lovely couple! The photos do a great job capturing such a wonderful event.
What fantastic photos. You sure picked an amazing photographer who captures the moment extraordinaire! So many too. All I could do was smile smile smile. So happy for you and your family and friends (for which you have many). Not surprising for two who place such importance on what’s truly important, the relationships we cherish, love and nurture. Enjoy the adventure and keep doing what you’re doing. Adoringly, from The Z and H fan club, and the California contingent. You rock!
