Rain wasn’t going to stop this party—not even close.
Lika and Noah brought their adventurous hearts all the way from Arizona to the cliffs of the Columbia River Gorge, bringing their favorite people along to celebrate at the stunning Griffin House in Hood River. Perched high above the river, the views here are breathtaking in any weather, but the Gorge decided to show off its full, dramatic mood this weekend.
The threat of rain hung in the air all day, finally letting loose right before the ceremony. We got thoroughly drenched, but no one cared. Everyone stood right there in the storm to wrap Lika and Noah in love, and capturing that raw, unscripted devotion was pure magic. We leaned into it completely—portraits with umbrellas, portraits without, all genuine joy. (And yes, my cameras spent the entire next day airing out after getting soaked right alongside everyone else!)
Between the downpours, we tucked into the venue’s incredible clear tent, which kept everyone cozy while keeping those sweeping cliffside views front and center. And just when we thought the skies were set for the night, the clouds broke right at sunset, giving us a golden window for some truly breathtaking portraits.
From wood-fired pizza and killer drinks to a photo booth, a packed dance floor, and a choreographed dance routine that brought the house down, this night was an absolute celebration of two amazing people.
Lika and Noah, thank you for trusting us to capture the quiet breaths, the pouring rain, and every wild, messy, joyful moment in between. You two are magic.
