Benjamin and Tuan celebrated their love at McMenamins Edgefield, and our Portland wedding photographers had a great time there. This quirky and charming spot sits in Troutdale, just east of Portland near the Columbia River Gorge. Red brick buildings, winding garden paths, and colorful art fill the grounds. It feels like a small village made for celebrating.

Edgefield has a very unique past. It opened in 1911 as the Multnomah County Poor Farm, where residents lived and worked the land. Later it became a nursing home and closed in 1982. The property is now on the National Register of Historic Places. McMenamins bought it in 1990 and turned it into the lively resort people love today.

McMenamins Edgefield has something for everyone. There is a winery, a brewery, a distillery, a golf course, and a hotel for guests. Gardens bloom all over the property, and murals cover walls, doors, and ceilings. Couples can pick from several ceremony and reception spaces, from garden lawns to cozy halls. All that variety is why so many couples choose this venue.

Benjamin and Tuan’s Relaxed Forest Celebration

Benjamin and Tuan first met online and started dating soon after. After their first date, they wanted to spend every day together, and they mostly did. They are proud home bodies. Their favorite place is the backyard oasis they built together, a quiet spot away from the world.

They wanted their wedding to feel relaxed, a day where everyone came because they truly wanted to celebrate their love. Their colors were burnt orange, white, and sage green. The style landed somewhere between modern and traditional, with a few classic touches like cutting the cake. The woodsy, garden filled grounds at Edgefield matched that easy, warm vibe so well.

A relaxed wedding is one of our favorite things to photograph. When guests feel at ease, they laugh more and hug longer. Those real moments make the best images. We love moving through the crowd, catching friends sharing stories and couples stealing a quiet second together. Edgefield, with its gardens and hidden corners, gives us so many spots to explore for portraits.

Our team is based in Portland, and we photograph weddings all over Oregon. We love telling every couple’s story in a way that feels real and personal. Every wedding photographer on our team works to keep the day calm and fun, so couples can relax and soak it all in. We are always honored when couples trust us with a day this personal.
