The variety of venues in the Bend, Oregon area is always incredible and Brasada Ranch is continually at the top of my list as one of the most stunning locations to get married in Oregon!
I think this wedding showcases so many of the highlights of this venue and gorgeous quiet, serene beauty of the Bend area, especially Powell Butte where it is technically located about 20 minutes outside of town.
Brasada Ranch is definitely a destination wedding location where you can all come to the ranch and stay a while! Spend multiple days adventuring together and exploring the location. The ranch offers a spa, Brasada Canyons Golf course, horseback riding, multiple pools, mountain biking and hiking trails, athletic center, and many local musicians and vendors will come to visit!
What I love about this location for a wedding is that you can rent multiple units/condos all near each other but not on top of each other. There is space to do your own thing, but also be all together. There is so much variety for private moments for a vows, or portraits together. Trestle Bridge is definitely a highlight and the welcoming staple of the location! But beyond that are areas that get amazing sunsets, lower grass spots with big trees! Then a venue that looks out to the Sisters Mountains!
Shawn is actually a native Bend, Oregon resident! That is very hard to come by these days! These two met through a dating app and instantly had a connection. Their two pups are the center of their little family and are the cutest things!
They wanted a private moment for vows before the day kicked off which was a personal favorite moment on mine!
Then jumping into portraits below Trestle Bridge is a must! Especially with this being a fall wedding, those tall grasses and contrasting trees just about to turn colors, it was beautiful!
They both opted for lots of color and it was INCREDIBLE! Flowers by Katie did an amazing job pulling together those earlier fall tones, while Indigo Bride planned a day (and especially reception) that had pops of green/purple/ oranges!
We, of course made sure to get photos with the pups pre-ceremony and then took in those stunning vast views that Brasada has to offer during the ceremony.
The night ended with sweet toasts, dancing, kids playing football out at The Barn and the most colorful sunset over the mountains that complimented the day perfectly!
