Griffin House Wedding – Hood River, Oregon – Danny + Victoria

Griffin House Wedding

The Griffin house is a beautiful wedding venue overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. The views are unbeatable, which made The Griffin house a very enticing wedding venue for Danny and Victoria’s wedding day. Danny is a landscape photographer. So having traveled all over and photographed so many beautiful spots, they knew they needed a wedding venue with stunning pacific northwest views.

I want you to know how much we LOVE our photos! I literally can’t have more than a day or so without relooking at the entire album. You captured the day and our love so beautifully – thank you so much! Danny and I can’t decide on which couples portraits to print out and frame big because we love so many!

Just as important as the final photos, we want to thank you so much for your excitement and kindness throughout our entire day (and during the engagement shoot). We feel so lucky to have had you with us – you put us at ease through the entire experience.

Victoria

Victoria and Danny were both able to get ready onsite, one of the many excellent features that The Griffin house offers. Kelli Thomsen and her team pampered all the ladies with hair and makeup for the day.

Some of my favorite moments are these. When you’re just about to step into your wedding gown and all of the planning and preparation becomes real.

Grand Reveal

The grand reveal or first look is a favorite part of the day for me for so many reasons. Usually, I can see the stress and worry melt away when the couple sees each other. I love it when couples choose to do a grand reveal because it means we will have more time for photos together with the two of you. It also means you get to enjoy more of the fabulous dinner party you’ll be throwing, rather than rushing out after your ceremony to do photos. There are several other reasons why I love a grand reveal but those are just a few.

Wedding Party

Danny and Victoria both said they wanted their wedding party to be casual and not a big thing. They just wanted to celebrate and be surrounded by their community, family, and friends.

Ceremony with a view

The day of their wedding was one of the windiest days of the whole year. We were all very worried about the floral installation for the ceremony but Jill from Starflower worked her magic and the floral installation was SOLID.

Cocktail hour

Amber at Gather Events designed a beautiful cocktail hour and reception space for the Griffin house wedding. With Starflower working her magic again and rentals from Bridgewood Events, the space was transformed into Danny and Victoria’s dream wedding.
