Capturing Love and Joy: Elyssa and Jake's Dreamy Bridal Photos at Villa Catalana Cellars
Today, I'm so thrilled to share the magical story of Elyssa and Jake's bridal photoshoot at the stunning Villa Catalana Cellars in Oregon City, Oregon just 35 minutes from Portland and 45 minutes from Salem. As a wedding photographer, it was such a delight to capture their love and joy in this stunning location.
A Radiant Couple: Elyssa and Jake's Love Story:
Elyssa and Jake radiate love and fun, making them an absolute dream to work with. Their easy-going and relaxed nature made our time together so fun and easy. As the sun began to set, we decided to add a touch of celebration to the shoot and popped open a bottle of champagne for a playful and joy-filled champagne spray.
Unforgettable Moments: Cream Puffs and Furry Friends:
During the shoot, we used the greenhouse-like room used for indoor tastings at the vineyard for the couple to share a dessert of cream puffs. Laughter filled the air as we captured the couple's genuine connection amidst the delightful sweetness of the moment.
To make the day even more memorable, Elyssa and Jake brought along their golden retriever, who joined in on the fun after a cozy nap. This furry friend stole the spotlight in the final few photos, showcasing their unbreakable bond and adding an extra touch of charm to the shoot.
Villa Catalana Cellars: A Haven of Beauty:
Nestled in Oregon City, Villa Catalana Cellars is a hidden gem that offers a picturesque setting for weddings and bridal photoshoots. With its lush vineyards, breathtaking architecture, and serene ambiance, it provided the perfect backdrop for Elyssa and Jake's love story. If you're searching for a venue that exudes romance and elegance, I highly recommend considering Villa Catalana Cellars for your special day.
Villa Catalana Cellars is a beautiful garden venue for weddings, offering a rental package of $6500 that includes a day for setup, the event day, and a day for take down. The rental covers the garden area and the terraces next to the house. The venue provides a Conservatory Tasting Room and a Hermitage for dressing rooms or other purposes. The reception can be held under the large Grape Arbor, accommodating up to 150 guests without the need for a tent. However, additional charges apply for guests exceeding 150, with a maximum capacity of 200. If you'd like to rent the space exclusively for a bridal shoot, the cost is $200 for 2 hours.
A Team Effort: Bringing Dreams to Life:
On this magical day, I had the pleasure of working alongside my husband, Austin, who served as the second photographer. Together, we captured every cherished moment, ensuring no detail was missed. Additionally, I want to give a special shout-out to Merrime Bridal, a fantastic wedding dress shop in downtown Albany, Oregon, for providing the stunning pearl veil and gloves as well as the super cute pearled black denim jacket that added an extra touch of elegance to Elyssa's bridal ensemble. The gorgeous and simple dress was from of Lulu's, completing the picture-perfect look.
Elyssa and Jake's bridal photoshoot at Villa Catalana Cellars was an unforgettable experience filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. If you're in search of an Oregon wedding photographer who will capture the essence of your love story, I would be honored to be a part of your special day.
