Why choose between a vineyard or mountain-set venue when you can have both? Gorge Crest Vineyards is a stunning venue that encapsulates the true beauty of Oregon. With sky-high mountain peaks in the background and delicate grape-filled vines in the forefront, you can guarantee that your ceremony and reception setting will be one every guest will remember. In my time as an Oregon wedding photographer, this venue has quickly become one of my all-time favorites.

The sheer beauty of the Hood River valley is one that is hard to put into words. This venue truly represents the carefree, relaxed nature of the area. This spot is ideal for the couple that is both modern and desires a luxurious feel while also wanting to embody a peaceful, intimate feel. 

Gorge Crest Vineyard Location

From the ceremony location, guests can feel like they’ve been transported to the Swiss countryside as the local flowers bloom and the peaks of the mountains are dusted with snow. Depending on the time of year of your ceremony, you might also experience a moody, enchanted feel with the dense cloud cover overhead. Gorge Crest Vineyards is a venue for all seasons, though spring and summer will allow you to enjoy the absolute best the area has to offer. For those wanting an off-season wedding, Gorge Crest is one of the few venues in the area that also offers an indoor location with equally stunning views. You’ll never have to sacrifice sights of the incredible scenery, regardless of the weather.

This venue channels a whimsical feel while still maintaining an elevated vibe that can blend beautifully with a wide range of wedding styles. Whether you’re dreaming of a vintage, timeless theme or wanting a romantic, fairy-tale-like wedding, at Gorge Crest you can make it a reality.

Spend the Weekend in Hood River

Its close proximity to the city makes it the perfect location for guests traveling out of state. During their time in Oregon, they might also consider visiting Hood River, which is just a mere 15 minutes away. The area is filled with other vineyards, local breweries, and is only an hour from the city of Portland. Your guests will love the ability to turn your special day into an extended trip.

One of my favorite aspects of being a Hood River wedding photographer is the ability to spend time surrounded by the natural beauty in the area. Gorge Crest Vineyards is one of my favorite venues to shoot due to its dynamic vibe, incomparable views, and the ideal location.
