Getting Ready with Laughter and Love
Capturing Mt Hood Organic Farms wedding photos always feels magical, and Gemma and Josh’s day was no exception. Gemma started her morning in the venue’s charming yellow cottage, celebrating with her bridesmaids over champagne. Excitement filled the air as they toasted, and a surprise pop sent champagne spilling onto one bridesmaid’s shirt, sparking laughter. Meanwhile, Josh and his groomsmen shared whiskey before getting ready, enjoying a relaxed moment before the festivities began. These early moments were filled with energy and emotion, making for some of the most memorable photos of the day.
Gemma and Josh’s first look beneath towering evergreens was an emotional highlight. They exchanged gifts, warm hugs, and excited kisses, taking in the significance of the day together before walking into their ceremony.
Stunning Mt Hood Organic Farms Wedding Photos
There are endless opportunities for breathtaking Mt Hood Organic Farms wedding photos. The tiled walls of the Apple House, the colorful latticed facades, the scenic countryside with Mt Hood in the distance, and even the aesthetically stacked wood and wildflowers create unique backdrops.
During the ceremony, guests shaded themselves with white umbrellas, while flower girls adorned with delicate crowns walked down the aisle. The ring bearer and Gemma’s father wore Scottish kilts, honoring their heritage. After the ceremony, a bagpiper led guests from the cocktail lawn to the reception area. Before heading in, everyone gathered on the front lawn for a grand group photo with Mt Hood towering in the background.
A Celebration to Remember
Because of the summer heat, Gemma and Josh hosted their reception in the courtyard between the Apple House and The Greenhouse instead of inside. Children played tag while guests enjoyed specialty cocktails and lawn games. As heartfelt speeches were given, golden evening light streamed through the Apple House windows, casting a warm glow on the speakers.
Before the dance party, I took Gemma and Josh out for sunset portraits on the lawn with a perfect view of Mt Hood. The timing was magical, with the sun peeking through the trees, creating a golden halo around them.
Dance Hall Days, a live band, kept the energy high as guests packed the dance floor. Halfway through the night, glow sticks added a playful, electric atmosphere. The celebration was filled with laughter, movement, and pure joy—an unforgettable ending to a beautiful day at one of Oregon’s most stunning venues.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your own Mt Hood Organic Farms wedding photos, Gemma and Josh’s celebration perfectly captures the magic of this incredible venue.
