Welcome to the Aaronstadt Blog

Welcome to the Recent Wedding Page. Here you can see a sampling of ~ 30 images from each of our recent weddings.

Weddings are posted in the order in which we shot them. Alternately you can locate a wedding in the list of 'Recent Weddings' on the right side of this window, click on the link and you will be taken to the sample images from that event.

If you are here shopping for a Photographer, we may have a sample of a wedding shot at your venue. Scroll trough the 'Recent Weddings' (right side of the window, in blue). Events are listed by the couples name, the venue, the date.

For additional info on Packages and Pricing, References and Resources including 'Wedding Day Advice' and much more use these links or the nav links on our Home Page.

If you are considering using Aaronstadt for your wedding photography we really appreciate that! We have been telling wedding day stories, with images, for many years and could not think of a better way to spend an afternoon, evening, weekend or whatever it takes to make those memories come alive again and again for you.

Heather and Stephen were married at McMenamin's Grand Lodge in Forest Grove at the Children's Cottage on a warm summer evening just as the sun set behind the trees.  The ceremony was presented and spoken in a most interesting and excellent manner by a charming and captivating Minister who exhibited exceptional charisma and eloquence as he administered vows and presided over the ring ceremony and a traditional handfasting, the signing of the certificate and the drinking of beers.

The ceremony was attended by a gathering of close family and friends including a substantial contingent (the Groom's family and cousins) from Ireland.  The later exhibited quite a lot of finesse and coordination, presenting the appreciative attendees with an Irish Jig to music played by a traditional Irish Band.

Who was that Minister?, did I mention that he was witty and frightfully good looking?

The party included a tasty catered meal by McMenamins, a yummy cake and an extra tray filled with diet killing desserts which I felt okay about indulging in since I saw the Minister going back for thirds, how does he stay so trim?

A wonderful treat near the end of the evening was the release of floating lanterns.  They made a beautiful sight as they tracked across the night sky raising into the air and floating towards an intensely agricultural grass crop area southwest of Forest Grove.  Not to worry though, I saw the Minister saying a prayer between mini-cheesecakes.

Great party Guys! . . . was that a siren I heard?
