Mariah and Hunter gathered with friends and family to celebrate their marriage on a gorgeous midsummer day. The venue, Ranch at the Canyons, offered Tuscan ranch vibes set in front of mesmerizing views of Smith Rock State Park. The garden party-inspired design made for a magical day to witness these two becoming husband and wife.

The day started with a ride from Shuttle Oregon to get the groomsmen from Bend to The Clubhouse to start getting ready. Meanwhile, Mariah and her bridesmaids were in the bridal suite in the Tuscan Stables where K + Co Bridal created beautiful effortless waves and Kate Hana Artistry made sure everyone was fresh-faced and glowing. The bride wore an elegant streamlined gown from Mikaella Bridal with bridesmaids’ dresses from BHLDN. The guys looked great in pale blue suits from Menguin and the groom in a Tailor’s Keep deep blue suit. After Mariah gave her bridesmaids a quick reveal, she was off to meet Hunter on the front lawn for their first look. They shared a sweet moment alone before rejoining the wedding party for some fun photos taken by Anne Fischer Photography. Pretty soon, it was time for guests to arrive and the bride and groom were hidden away to wait for the ceremony to begin.

Guests arrived via NW Navigator transportation and gathered on the lawn overlooking the Crooked River and Smith Rock beyond. The beautiful arbor florals, along with the bridal party bouquets and table centerpieces, were designed by the talented Wild Poppy. Mariah and Hunter had a sweet and sentimental ceremony and sealed it with a dramatic first kiss and a dip! Next it was time for cocktails and charcuterie on the front lawn with some fun steel drum tunes provided by Michael A Gabriel.

After cocktails, guests found their seats and enjoyed a delicious family-style dinner from Bowtie Catering. The macrame umbrellas, woven chargers, and gold flatware from Heirlooms and Co. created the perfect setting for the summertime garden affair the couple wanted. Friends and family gave speeches and toasted the newlyweds and then it was time for the afterparty! Lighting, stage, and a dance floor from Incredible Events  had guests ready to get down all night with amazing music from Blue Wave Band. Additional luxury restrooms provided by Plush Potty ensured no lines kept anyone off the dance floor for long!

The couple snuck away at sunset for some beautiful photos and returned to the  Bonta Gelato truck doling out delicious ice cream and sorbet. Once dessert was finished, NW Navigator returned to take everyone to end the evening with an amazing afterparty at Monkless Belgian Ales in Bend.
