Vineyard View at La Bastide – a wedding photography dream:

Vineyard View at La Bastide in Oregon is a dream wedding venue for couples seeking the perfect blend of vineyard elegance and serene forest landscapes. Located just a short drive from Portland, this venue offers breathtaking views, unique photo opportunities, and a versatile space that can bring any wedding vision to life. Recently, my team had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding here, capturing the rustic beauty and natural charm that makes Vineyard View at La Bastide so special.

Ceremony and Landscape

The ceremony took place outdoors, nestled under towering trees with a picturesque view of the vineyard stretching into the horizon. The couple chose a warm and inviting color palette—mustard, marigold, olive green, and nude—that beautifully complemented the lush greens of the ceremony space. This thoughtful color scheme enhanced the natural beauty of the surroundings, creating a soft yet vibrant backdrop for their vows.

One of the unique features of Vineyard View at La Bastide is its balcony area. This elevated vantage point provided my team with a wide-angle perspective, capturing the full ceremony setup, the landscape beyond, and the gathering of family and friends. It’s a beautiful spot that allows photographers to showcase the venue’s vastness and stunning scenery in a single frame.

The KMT Photos Approach

This wedding was photographed by a talented member of my photography team Sabrina, who masterfully took advantage of the venue’s diverse settings. During the sunny parts of the day, she used the wooded area to create naturally lit portraits that feel intimate and warm. The shaded forest provided the perfect lighting to capture the couple’s genuine joy without the harshness of direct sunlight.

For the ceremony and reception, Sabrina utilized the patio of the main building to get some stunning, wide shots from above. This vantage point allowed her to capture a bird’s-eye view of the space, which included the landscape, guests, and a beautiful panoramic view of the vineyard. Her approach to wide, elevated shots gave the photos an epic, cinematic quality.

Favorite Moments and Photos

Some of my favorite photos from this day include the ceremony shots, where the couple stands beneath a grand, tree-lined backdrop, surrounded by their loved ones. There’s something magical about how the natural elements—trees, vineyards, and warm sunlight—all came together in these photos, giving them a timeless feel.

The newlywed portraits taken in the forest were also standout moments. The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a soft, golden glow around the couple. These intimate, romantic shots truly showcase the beauty of Oregon’s forest wedding settings, making Vineyard View at La Bastide an ideal location for couples who want both vineyard and woodland scenery in their photos.
