Elegant Garden Wedding | Stella & Gavin

Featured, Wedding

June 1, 2024

I had the privilege of capturing Stella and Gavin’s elegant garden wedding at Green Villa Barn in Independence, Oregon. I was inspired by the natural beauty of the venue, the colorful accents of blush pink and sage green throughout the day. The overall vibe of the day was fun, loving, and natural.

Stella looked absolutely radiant in her white, A-line gown from the Bridal Gallery. Complete with large botanical lace detailing. Gavin looked dapper in his gray suit and a pop of color with his pink tie. The first look between the bride and groom was a sweet moment, made even more special with Stella surprising Gavin with a boudoir album, added a touch of intimacy to the day.

The ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments; from Stella walking down the aisle with her parents, to their vows, and first kiss under a gazebo surrounded by a vine of hops. The dip kiss they shared while exiting the aisle was a picture-perfect moment that was beautifully captured by their live painter, adding a unique touch to their day.

The reception was a celebration filled with good food from Wild Pair Catering, a cake made with love by the groom’s sister, and some fun games for guests to enjoy. After dancing the night away, I took Stella and Gavin for some golden hour portraits. In the garden, I captured the love and joy between the newlyweds.

The day ended with a sparkler grand exit, creating a magical and romantic end to a perfect day. Stella and Gavin’s wedding was a joy to photograph, and I am grateful to have been a part of their special day.
