“Baby, it’s cold outside” would be a good theme song for Stewart and Connie’s cozy wedding at Silcox Hut, perched high on the flank of Mt. Hood.  However, icy gusts were no match for warm hearts and warm wishes at this wonderfully simple wedding celebration. We appreciated that Connie and Stewart were game to be outside for pics–it was sooooo cold. Connie was  adorable in her white fur shrug, and Stewart accessorized with the smile of a happy, happy man.

About 30 friends and family gathered by the big fire in the hut to celebrate with this sweet couple as they tied the knot, and then after, toasted the newlyweds to the music of 3 leg torso. After cocktails, the entire party rode down the hill in the giant snow-cats for more celebrating over dinner in the Raven’s Nest at Timberline Lodge.

Congratulations Connie and Stewart. We are so glad you found us all the way from New York. Here’s a selection of our favorite pics set to music. Update December 8, 2009: here is a link to Connie and Stewart’s wedding gallery.

Thank goodness everyone was warm and dry inside on a day that was a total downpour. I had been hoping to shoot family photos outdoors on the steps, but looking back at the days images, I’m glad we were able to shoot inside this beautiful church. Congratulations, Matthew and Gabriela! Thanks for having us with you on your lovely wedding day.
