Pacific Northwest Wedding Photography Blog by Something Minted: Ila & Anthony | Columbia River Gorge

This wedding held along the shore of the Columbia River was nothing short of stunning. Full of bohemian details and tributes to the couple's roots, it's one I won't soon forget.

Ila and Anthony first met when they were 17 and waiting in line to audition for a musical. Fate had its way as the couple were soon cast together in another musical where they danced into each other's hearts. This bride is a real life Disney Princess who found her prince, and their love is something out of a fairy tale.

Here are some of my favorite things about this day:
• The first look included the entire bridal party! We created an aisle-like experience for the couple so they could share in the moment with the their closest friends and family
• The bride and her father paddled up the aisle by canoe, taking everyone by surprise!
• Grace was sang by the bride, her mother, and mother-in-law
• Such heartfelt, misty-eyed toasts
