Wedding Day

Ceremony

Reception

Friends and family, please know that we understand we are asking a lot of you to come to another state for this celebration; if this trip doesn't work for your schedule, finances, etc. we 110% understand. As much as we'd love to see everyone, we don't want anyone to feel pressured. The hopes in sending out the invitations a year out would be to give everyone time to set google flight trackers and find a good deal! If you have any questions or concerns, please message Jenna. Love y'all!!

Our Wedding

Our Story

A fun fact that we don't think most people know, is that we met on Hinge! No shame in that online dating game. Our first date was the Mueller Farmers Market in Austin, TX. We strolled around with the infamous weens and&nbsp;nonstop chatted. After our 2nd date, which just so happened to be the same day as our first date, I (Jenna) left the bar, immediately called my mom and said, "Wow. I think I'm going to marry this guy." And the rest is history..

Logan's groomsmen consist of these 5 cool people: Best Man: Michael, future brother-in-law, bonded over video games from day 1.Klay and Randy are good buddies from growing up in Harlingen, TX, creating memories through their tween years.Logan and Edward's friendship goes back to growing up in the same neighborhood in California and hanging out when Logan would visit his dad &amp; Donna over the summers.

Wedding Party

Q + A

Hi Friend. The rooms just got renovated this past year and they are stunning. The hotel is right outside of Hood River, OR. The hotel overlooks the Colombia Gorge, which is the river that separates Washington and Oregon. After doing some research for other hotels in the area, I will say this hotel has more of a boutique hotel vibe and price. I've added some nice, affordable options.

Columbia Gorge Hotel & Spa

This B&amp;B is soo stinkin cute, they have 6 suites and can host around 22 people total. It is a 6 minute car ride from the venue.

Inn at the Gorge

This hotel is historic and super cute, and is only a 5 minute car ride to the venue.

Hood River Hotel

This lodge is directly to the left of the property we're getting married at, it's really cute and affordable.

Westcliff Lodge

This hotel is a 3 minute drive to the venue and close to the downtown area.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hood River, an IHG Hotel

For our friends that are down to stay with each other, maybe look into splitting an airbnb! They are cute, affordable and helps with bringing the cost down for everyone.

Plenty of Airbnb's within 5 miles of the property.

Travel

This little downtown has so many cute shops, a big brewery on the water, and wineries surrounding the town. There's a train that takes you through the gorge, tickets range from $29-$49 and the leaves will be changing for the fall season! It'll be stunning!

Downtown Hood River

Come visit our new home town! To say we're obsessed with Portland is an understatement. Portland is the city of roses, so there are a ton of gardens to check out. Bring some athleisure and go for a hike! Take in all the greenery this part of the country has to offer! Gardens:Japanese Botanical GardenInternational Rose Test GardenLaurelhurst ParkTom McCall Waterfront Park Mount Tabor Park Portland ZooTons of breweriesTons of vintage shops between Hawthorne St. and Belmont St.Hollywood vintage and Memories Den are also fantastic for vintage shopping.

Portland Food & Bev Recs

The scenic highway from Portland to Hood River is called the Highway of Waterfalls. Our favorite is Multanomah Falls, its HUGE and you don't have to hike to it, just up some steps and then you can take some switchbacks to get closer to it but you really can see it from the parking lot.

Highway of Waterfalls!

Take a little drive up Mount Hood to check out the lodge that inspired The Shining! We've driven up here quite a few times, it's the first place to get snow, we saw snow up there as early as October. It's cute without snow too, you can hike around the lodge and capture stunning views.

Timberline Lodge

If you're renting a car and want to take a day trip over to Cannon Beach to experience the Oregon coast, I'd highly recommend going to Haystack Rock, Mo's for some clam chowder in a bread bowl, and Ecola State Park; where you can do less than half of the 2.2 mile hike and catch insane views. (I say half because we turned around after half of it because we found the best view already and were tired :p ) If you're lucky you'll pass by some MASSIVE Elk that just hang around Cannon Beach.
