Set in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, the CG Hotel was the perfect place for Jordan and Maria to gather their family and friends for one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve seen yet.

After seeing Maria’s attention to detail for her own wedding, I’m sure she could be as busy as she’d like helping other brides bring their vision to fruition.  Jordan?  He’s just cool.

Jordan and Maria are headed over this weekend for a little post-wedding session, which I highly recommend.  We’re looking forward to seeing them and their trunk-full of props…

Here are a few of our favorite things…

We packed up the SUV and turned a 5 hour drive to Boise into 9 glorious hours with the kiddos, complete with copious potty stops and cry sessions.  Eric, a family friend, was kind enough to invite our whole family, including Mema and Papa–who saved our lives by watching the kiddos during the wedding.

I can’t say enough about Eric and Melissa, they simply were made for each other and waited their lives for the moment they walked down the isle.  Eric had a huge tear coming down his cheek when he saw Melissa for the first time, I couldn’t help but get choked up.

The surprise moment of the night?  During the cake cutting, seemingly reserved Melissa politely took her piece of cake then proceeded to smash it all over Eric’s face, then reached in, grabbed a huge hunk of cake and shoved it her mouth.  Stunning and priceless.
