Oregon Bride Fall/Winter 2021

Sometimes you should go chasing waterfalls. While most brides step into their highest heels to see their soon-to-be husband for the first time on their wedding day, Carina Hahn chose something a bit more comfortable. Carina and her groom, Trey Gunnell, got ready in different rooms of the Columbia River Gorge Airbnb they were staying in. Then, with her faithful Teva sandals secured on her feet, Carina trekked separately from her groom to Latourell Falls for the couple’s first look. Amid the mist, the two enjoyed an intimate moment with the roar of the waterfall as their musical accompaniment while their photographer, Ellie Parker of E. Ann Photography, captured the memorable moment. Avid hikers and lovers of the outdoors, Carina and Trey spent an hour exploring before heading off to tie the knot at Portland’s Blockhouse, in a celebration inspired by the beauty of Oregon and perfectly planned by Alston Mayger Events.
