By Lindsey Wickert | The Wickerts’ Photography | Vancouver, WA (Here’s us at our actual wedding on our wedding day in 2020, by the wonderful Missy Fant). There’s a moment that happens at almost every wedding we photograph. Usually somewhere between the ceremony ending and the reception beginning — that in-between stretch when the adrenaline […]

Hood River Lavender Farms | Hood River, Oregon Let’s just address it upfront: the sky was not cooperating. Wildfire smoke had rolled into the Columbia River Gorge overnight, and by the time Olivia and Quinton pulled up to Hood River Lavender Farms, the air had that distinctive amber tint that every PNW person now recognizes […]

There are weddings where everything looks beautiful, and then there are weddings where everything feels beautiful. Zoe and Jack’s day at Deepwood Museum and Gardens was firmly, completely, the second kind. Deepwood is one of those venues that does half the work for you.

But before you send that deposit, there are a few important questions every couple should ask before booking a wedding photographer in Vancouver, WA. We’re telling you this […]

There’s something about a summer wedding in the Pacific Northwest that just hits differently — golden light, warm air, and that feeling that everyone can finally exhale. Alyssa & Harold’s day at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse was exactly that kind of magic. Equal parts laid-back and intentional. Romantic, but never fussy. A day that felt […]

When I was first looking for wedding dresses way back in 2020, I was not prepared for the miserable experience that awaited me and other […]

There’s something about rain in Portland that just feels like coming home.
