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.

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.

This wedding was a perfect blend of atmosphere, location, content and friends. The Ainsworth House and Gardens is an oasis of history, style, charm and nature. Planted in the midst of a neighborhood in Oregon City it has beautifully designed gardens and walkways for clients and their guests to enjoy.
Kerri started her day in the lovely bridal suite accompanied by her ladies. The wonderful bouquets and boutineers were provided by Blooming Bouquet. Deryk and the guys were in the upper parlour.
Kerri and Deryk saw each other for the first time in the gardens, secluded, away from everyone under the rose arbor. We walked around the gardens and even went for a swing!
Kevin Yell was the officiant and provided a , moving, funny and thoughtful touch to the ceremony.
The party was kept rocking by Kris at Primetime Music. He kept things running well, provided excellent music and even hosted a limbo competition!
The catering was provided by Catering by Laurie. Always delicious and creatively presented, loved the BBQ meatballs
The cake was made by JaCiva's.
The party was great! There are always moments that stand out. I did the father-of-the-bride thing last year and it was an emotional time for me. During Kerri and her Dad's father daughter dance I was thinking about the dance with my daughter and got a little misty eyed.
Thanks guys! you make this job of wedding photography a pleasure

Allison and Austin got married last Saturday at the Abernethy Center. Abernethy has several 'sites' for ceremonies, all of them beautiful and different. Allison and Austin choose the Veiled Garden for their gathering of close family and friends.
Allison and her ladies prepped for the day in the lovely bridal room, the guys, . . .  got in four hands of five card stud.  Turned out beginners luck paid off for Shiloh (the best man who 'took it all').
Kay at Flowers For You created stunning arrangements for the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets and duo tone rose boutineers for the guys, very well done Kay!
The ceremony was officiated by Johanna of An Event to Remember.
The cake, always wonderful and yummy, came from JaCiva's.
The DJ was Brian of Mobile Music Kudos to Brian, and early afternoon wedding is usually not a rockin event with lots of dancing and frolicing but Brian got them going, there was a lot of movement on the dance floor.
Thank you Abernethy, always a pleasure to work a well organized, scripted and managed event.  The folks at Abernethy are among the very best at focusing a crowd, making things happen and doing it all without a feeling of being rushed.
It was a great day, a lovely celebration and a wonderful gathering of close family and friends.
Thanks for choosing us as your Wedding Photographers.

Laura and Jeremy, August 5th, Postelwaits

If you have never been to Postelwaits let me tell you it is worth the drive; lush green manicured lawns, a wishing well fountain flowing into a creek under a bridge, a wee woods with whispy beautiful grass flowing in the breeze, a beautiful natural ceremony area and its all surrounded by fields of grain, wildflowers and brilliant blue sky. On a clear day Mt Hood makes a beautiful backdrop. What a wonderful place to have a wedding!
Laura and the Ladies had beautiful bouquets (and the guys had boutineers) provided by Caroline at Postelwaits.
The First Look took place in the woods amongst the long swaying grasses and the Oak trees. It was a great setting for romantic portraits which Laura and Jeremy did very well!
The ceremony took place in the wedding grove with nature all around us, it was beautiful. Jeremy's uncle, Tom officiated. It is always special when a relative or close friend leads the celebration.
The party continued in the barn shepherded by Kris from Primetime Music. That man really knows how to run a party!
The cake was made by Leslie at Sullivan's Sweets and what a cake it was! absolutely beautiful.
Great party guys!
