This was just a completely sweet and awesome affair. Vista Hills is one of my favorite venues. It’s intimate and has a beautiful view of the valley. On this particular Autumn wedding day, Vista Hills hit one out of the park. Troy and Kristi are awesome. If there were wedding jitters I didn’t see it…they were totally relaxed and were having a good time. Troy wanted to see Kristi for the first time walking down the aisle so after shooting some family formals separately, it was time for the big show. The smile on Troy’s face as he saw Kristi and her brother in law Matt walk across the top deck of the tree house was so big, it was almost like his mouth, eyes and eye brows were smiling simultaneously. After the ceremony we took advantage of the awesome sky and the surroundings. I’m a mans man…I watch sports, I listen to sports radio…I work on my own car and stuff but I have to admit…I dug Kristi’s shoes…they were pretty rockin. Event Team took care of the music expertly, like they always do. Instead of a sit down or buffet, Kristi and Troy (being foodies) decided to have food stations where their guests could get three totally different dishes. Wild Pear Catering handled it deliciously. The dancing was tremendous, Kristi’s nephew Jonathan was pretty stellar with his moves. I could go on and on… but I’m not. Double thumbs up + fist bumps + explosions and fireworks to Kristi and Troy!!

If we were playing the one word to describe a wedding game I would choose ”Laugh” for Kathy and Matt’s beautiful wedding at Vista Hills Vineyard. From our first meeting I knew what kind of wedding this was going to be. The couple had such an easy way about them and it instantly was friends grabbing drinks after work, just talking about a wedding and not a photographer asking about his clients wedding. Fast forward almost a year and here we were the long anticipated wedding day. Everyone knows that in the great Northwest weather is always a roll of the dice and we were all, and by all I mean all, glued to every outlet for weather this day. There were different reports of either raining all day or raining in spots or a swarm of locusts or the repeat of snowmageddon. The wedding was taking place at Vista Hills and we were all looking forward to seeing the sunset shine behind the ceremony site shinning across the hillside of grapevines. Even though it was threatened, it turned out to be an awesome day. We definitely dodged some drops but came away unscathed. As Kathy and Matt said their vows, the breeze kicked in a little and the sun was beaming as bright as their smiles. It was a beautiful day. As the sun went down and DJ Paradox got the party going, it was like everyone made an agreement to have a real good time. Some crazy dance moves were thrown out there on the dance floor and fun was had by all, especially me. Waving goodbye to the couple as they left by way of limo and sparklers, everyone was still beaming. Afterwards, I hugged it out with the groomsmen and we called it a night. Sweet day
