After months and months of anticipation, a bride's wedding day comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Before you know it, there is a barrage of flowers, ribbon, rushing bridesmaids, flashing photographers, cake, toasts and dancing uncles. Even the most observant and existential couple can find themselves wishing they had more time to take it all in.

Real NW Wedding at Gorge Crest Vineyard :: Photographed By Mosca Photo

Adorable wedding with original details and eloquently captured by our Luxe Preferred Photographers, Mosca Photo.

From Mosca Photo Blog: LOTS of details in this wedding! And everything was made by hand by Lea herself! A truly DIY bride. She made her birdcage veil, the feathery hair piece (which was her grandmother's brooch), the invitations, the table place cards, the ring pillow, bow ties... everything! Amazing! Clark is super creative too. He broke out his twelve-string guitar in the middle of the reception and played an elaborate and beautiful song for all to enjoy.

Totally CUTE huh?! Lovely and adorable couple, sweet and memorable details, gorgeous venue (no pun intended), original decor ideas and fantastic photography! See the rest on the Mosca Photo Blog

Congratulations Lea and Clark! What an authentically designed day you two created. We wish you many many happy years! Mosca Photo you did an impeccable job capturing their big day.

A Real Luxe Event Productions Review :: From the SWEETEST Groom EVER!

...it's clients like these that make it all worth while. This review actually made me cry. We can not say enough about this couple, it was an absolute honor to have been trusted with coordinating their special day. Such a gracious couple and family. We even got the nicest thank you card from the mother of the bride...so special, so humbling. Thank you again Jonny and Alyssa. What can we say...we're honored and completely humbled. Love you!

A Luxe Event Productions Review from the Sweetest Groom EVER!

I cannot praise Luxe Events enough! From the moment we hired them (which, I will admit now, at the time I did not think we would need) our confidence in the event skyrocketed. Misty had so many answers available at the ready, and had even more tips and ideas available to help keep things running smoothly. From the very first meeting, I was convinced that this was the best investment we could make. All throughout the planning process the Luxe team was available to help us work through the intricacies of a 275+ guest wedding, all the while making my wife and I feel like the only bride and groom that matter.

If it sounds like I'm blowing smoke, please be assured that I am merely stating fact. They helped us manage details ranging from table placement, linen rentals, choice of vendors and 'day-of' timeline all the way down to how we'd monitor alcohol consumption, transportation & hotel and morning-after arrangements.

When the big day finally arrived Misty was incredible, offering kind words, big hugs, and go-get-em-tiger pep talks that were an amazing help. If you haven't considered a wedding planner, don't assume you can handle your wedding alone (even if you could, why would you want to?), and if you're considering Luxe Event Productions, you're already on your way to the best day of your life (so far).

P.S. Everybody - I mean everybody - has told me that our wedding was hands-down THE best wedding they'd ever attended. None of this would have been possible without the team at Luxe.

Thanks, you guys. Lots of love.

Real NW Wedding:: Photographed By Aaronstadt Photos

This wedding showcases the beautiful Latourell Falls, the gorgeous destination for many visitors and residents of Oregon. For this bride and groom it was simply a perfect place to marry.

The day started with a trip to the Bridal Veil Lodge, it provided a beautiful backdrop for pictures and for the preparations done for the Clodine and Chris, the bride and groom.

Next the bride and groom took a trip to Latourell Falls, where the bride and groom to-be saw each other for the first time. When they locked eyes sparks flew and they didn't stop smiling. Their photographer for the day was Aaronstadt Studios Photography and the Videographers were Marc and Vlad of Moving Picture Weddings.

The ceremony took place at Bridal Veil Lake. Clodine and Chris stood in front of the water as Rev Steven Sharp officiated. The couple had the opportunity to take a canoe ride on the lake resulting in these fun photos!
