Bogus Basin Wedding | Hillary + Jason

I’ve photographed over 400 weddings in my career, and I’ve done a lot of weird stuff with a camera. However, Hillary and Jason’s wedding at Bogus Basin gave me my very first (and second and third) opportunity to tube backwards down a snowy hill while taking pictures of people also tubing. Yes I was slightly nervous about my very expensive camera, but this was what I call a “professional tubing hill”, so steering and even seeing where I was going was unnecessary. It was a complete blast, and the photos are so fun.

In addition to tubing, I also snowboarded with Hillary and Jason and their friends and family and took photos of them on the slopes, I love snowboarding, and this was so much fun for me.

Hillary and Jason’s wedding was one of the most fun weddings I’ve been to, and that’s really saying something. From the moment I talked to them, I could tell that their wedding was about being with the people they love most and having a great time, two things very near and dear to my heart. I’ll let the photos tell the story from here, but this day at Bogus Basin was a complete blast behind the camera.

The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club Wedding | Jordan + Jack

Such a wonderful day with these two, they share such a beautiful connection and have an amazing and beautiful community. The temperatures got up to 111 degrees in Aloha, Oregon on their wedding day, which is absolutely bonkers for Western Oregon, but I was so happy that it didn’t have any negative effects on their wedding day. I think in the end their guests will just have extra special memories of the day. I’ll let the photos tell the story of the day, Jordan and Jack, thank you for trusting me to photograph your wedding day.

The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club Wedding | Jordan + Jack

I’ve had so much fun working with and getting to know Jordan and Jack. I did their engagement photos out at a gorgeous location in the Columbia River Gorge all the way back in 2019. Remember 2019? Things we’re completely normal then, pre-covid. Then covid came along and Jordan and Jack had to move their wedding from 2020 to 2021, so it just happened at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club. It also happened on the “heat dome” weekend in Portland where temperatures got up over 110 degrees which for Portland is completely wild. The guests and Jorda and Jack had a great time though, and in the end I bet that the extra hot temperatures at their wedding will be a fun and unique memory. Jordan and Jack share an amazing connection. As their photographer I shared a lot of moments with them throughout their day, and I really enjoyed seeing how much they connect and enjoy one another. For me personally, this wedding happening was really hopeful, that things are getting back to normal. This is just a small preview for Jordan and Jack, many more photos to come, but it was an incredible day filled with love.
