Alyssa and Brett. Where to begin? These two were so intentional with their wedding day. They prioritized being fully present throughout the celebration and made sure to carve out multiple moments for themselves to spend alone together. Whether it was watching the sun set over the Gorge or their private vows to reflect, they valued those personal, intimate breaks away from the festivities.

Taking time alone as a couple on your wedding day is so important. Amid the excitement, the hugs, the photos, and the celebration, it can be easy to forget why you're there in the first place—to celebrate your love. Those moments alone allow you to connect with each other, reflect on the journey you've taken together, and truly soak in the significance of the day. It’s a chance to breathe, to pause, and to enjoy the quiet intimacy of your commitment, away from the rush of the day. These precious moments not only ground you in the experience but also create memories that are just for the two of you.

Alyssa and Brett's wedding took place at the stunning Griffin House in Hood River—a venue I've been eager to photograph for quite some time. As you scroll through their wedding day, you'll see exactly why. From the getting ready photos in the beautiful home on the property to the ceremony with the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge as the backdrop, every moment was mesmerizing. The Griffin House provided the perfect setting for their intimate celebration, making it a day to remember.
