Columbia River Wedding: Dante and Brittany

Dante and Brittany met in college -- both of them working as Resident Assistants in the dorm. They are very compassionate people, with a lot of similarities and their differences will only make their marriage stronger. At first, we weren't sure whether or not we could be a part of their day, but we made it work, thanks to having the best family in the whole world. We photographed a wedding in Chico on Sunday afternoon and then our sweet sister drove us through the night to Portland where we were able to photograph Dante and Brittany on Monday.

It was a backyard style wedding held at the Riverview Restaurant right on the Columbia River. And just like always, the Northwest didn't let us down. It was a beautiful September day. Dante and Brittany had so many sweet moments and they wear their heart on their sleeve, which we love.

Brittany and Dante, you are such caring and kind people. We know that there is so much in store for you both. Thank you for letting us be a part of your day. For inviting us into all of the special moments. We are really grateful.

Much Love, K and K

The first look...

Stunning...

The ceremony was held on the lawn at Riverview and began as Brittany and Dante washed one another's feet, a symbol of love and honor.

Right after the ceremony, we stole the couple away for a few more portraits. We found this amazing spot right across the street from the venue...

Brittany had put a lot of thought and time into these details... And the florist did such a good job with this bouquet. Each wine bottle was painted with chalkboard paint so that their guests could write them messages. Instead of a guest book, each guest signed a cork...

The Reception was an afternoon affair and they started with their first dance right here on the deck of the venue.

Thank you so much Dante and Brittany. Blessed to be a part of your day...
