Joanna + Dow – Elk Cove Vineyards Wedding – Part I

When you are getting ready to photograph a wedding and the weather report is showing thunderstorms, you start to get a little nervous.  Especially when you know the bride and groom are getting married at Elk Cove Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and they are hoping to have it outside among the breathtaking views of the vineyard.  Well, our fears blew off with the morning clouds and it turned into a lovely day for an outdoor wedding ceremony.  Joanna and Dow were married outside on a beautiful sun drenched day in the presence of their friends and family (and the grapes, of course).  The reception was held in the Roosevelt room where the Elk Cove Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris wine were flowing, along with the conversations, cheer, and stories.  It was a special day for the bride and groom and all involved.  These wedding photographs hopefully tell the story of their day.

Congratulations Joanna and Dow on your marriage and best wishes for the journey you are beginning together.
