Interpretive Center Museum Wedding | Stevenson, WA | Robin & Brian

The Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum is a unique and magical place for a wedding. Situated in Stevenson, Washington, the museum is surrounded by gorgeous scenery and wildlife, including bald eagles soaring and singing high above.

Brian and Robin chose to treat their guests to a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle and an Interpretive Center Museum wedding made for a beautiful destination. The ceremony took place just outside the museum, beside beautiful carved totem poles with the Columbia Gorge as a backdrop.

Their decor was simple, allowing the location to have the most impact, and the paella dinner was a fun and delicious highlight to the evening. For dessert Brian and Robin chose to have a small cake to cut plus a table full of macaroons and other delicate delights for their guests.

During sunset portraits Brian and Robin enjoyed the rustic side of the museum, opting to have their portraits taken next to old train cars, brightly colored trucks, and an old mine shaft museum display. The museum itself made for a striking backdrop and set the scene for their day perfectly.

As you can well see from the photographs below, Brian and Robin’s wedding was full of emotion, love, and excitement for the newlyweds. Tears were abundant throughout the ceremony and laughter filled the evening.

That’s What They Said – A 5 Star Review!

“Briana was such a pleasure to work with. She is super professional and equally personable. Every step of the way was made easy, online, on the phone, and in person. Her attention to detail immediately earned our trust, which is so critical for your wedding day. The result was a large collection, and I mean a lot, of INCREDIBLE photographs. Briana has a wonderful eye, is charming, and the perfect photographer for your special occasion! Thank you again Bria, you captured moments that we can cherish forever!”

From behind the lens to inside the gallery—what an honor to document Mandy Arroyo and her latest show, Tender, now on view at Elle Gallery in Portland through August 24th.

This is our third time working together, and it’s been such a joy to witness her evolution—from designer to full-time painter, and now to exhibiting artist. Mandy paints vibrant local landscapes using acrylics and oil pastels—her work is joyful, vibrant, and full of wonder.

If you’re local, go see it in person. You’ll leave inspired.

Mandy, thank you for trusting me to help share your story. It’s always a gift.

Yesterday felt like a dream. Tippy and Nate’s wedding at Timberline Lodge was one of the most peaceful, joy-filled, and magically timed days I’ve ever had the honor of documenting.

The moment we walked into the getting-ready suite, there were friends napping, someone softly strumming an acoustic guitar, and steamy excerpts being read from a romance novel—pure calm and intention. 

The day flowed effortlessly. Family portraits were ahead of schedule, the light was stunning, and every moment felt filled with warmth.

During dinner, Nate casually joined the jazz band on drums (as one does), and then we wandered onto the mountain for the most incredible golden hour portraits. It was slow, cinematic, and absolutely perfect.

Tippy & Nate, thank you for including us in your beautiful wedding at Timberline Lodge. 💕

The first time I visited the Pantheon in Rome it was on accident. I stumbled across a colossal building while wandering the alleys and piazzas and figured I should check it out. 

There was no line, no tickets, no crowd. The entire experience felt a little surreal. 

Ten years later I visit again and now you need tickets to get inside. The sea of people out front is dense with tour guides and panhandling. A little of that magic stolen away.

So the trick is, for the exterior anyway, to visit at dawn. Catch this beauty before the crowds wake up, while the sun stretches over the rooftops to light up the solid marble pillars in golden light. 

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, or honeymoon in Rome, Italy I’d be honored to be your guide and photographer. I can bring you to all the best views and historic locations and know of an excellent private tour guide who can share the history of these beautiful places.
