A Fortuitous Change
Hannah and Graham’s Cape Horn Estate wedding was a day of resilience, joy, and timeless beauty. Originally planning to wed at the EcoTrust building in Portland, their wedding journey took unexpected turns. The pandemic delayed their initial plans, and then, just days before their rescheduled wedding, their second venue canceled. Scrambling for a new location, they secured Cape Horn Estate at the last minute—a fortunate turn of events, as one of their first dates was spent hiking nearby.
A Whirlwind Wedding Day
Arriving at the venue by bus, it was the first time Hannah and Graham set foot at Cape Horn Estate on their wedding day. With little time to plan their ceremony setup, they worked swiftly alongside their fantastic wedding planner, Sweety of Eventcracker, and their wedding party to bring their vision to life. Despite the last-minute rush, their calm, adaptable nature shone through. By the time the sun set, they had not only pulled off a seamless event but had danced the night away in celebration.

Their vision for a classic and timeless aesthetic was reflected in every detail. The elegant stone archway at the dedicated ceremony site provided a picturesque frame for their vows, with the Columbia River Gorge mountains standing majestically behind them. The reception, held on the open lawn, offered a beautiful outdoor setting where guests enjoyed dinner and dancing under the sky. Cape Horn Estate photos captured the stunning scenery, the couple’s effortless grace, and the joy shared among family and friends.
The Flexibility of a Cape Horn Estate Wedding
The venue’s flexibility with its varied spaces makes Cape Horn Estate an adaptable venue for weddings and elopements of all sizes. Along with The Larger Grange, the Skamania building offers a cozy space for cocktail hour, while the sprawling lawns can host a sprawling reception for guests to mingle and celebrate. Surrounded by towering trees and breathtaking views, Hannah and Graham’s Cape Horn Estate wedding was a perfect tribute to their love story—a celebration of their journey together, from their early hikes to their dreams of settling down in the Pacific Northwest.
