Danielle and Ernie’s gorgeous Columbia Gorge elopement proves that all you need for a magical forest wedding are candles, some ceremonial wine, and a gorgeous historic spot to say “I do”! This couple’s intimate elopement included a hike to Skamania Old Stone House for their ceremony (in the middle of a surprise hailstorm!), smudging and wine-drinking ceremonies to reflect the bride’s Cherokee heritage, and a stunning trek through the great Oregon outdoors to celebrate their union. Jamie Jones Photography<\/a> captured every detail of this inspiring elopement, including the bride’s lovely style that featured a marigold shawl and suede cranberry booties.<\/p>\n

Skamania Old Stone House, Columbia Gorge<\/a>, Oregon<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The most important part of planning was us. :) Doing what we wanted to do, making ourselves happy. We wanted a simple, private, romantic ceremony.<\/em><\/p>\n

The suede cranberry booties and the maroon velvet tie decided the color theme. The flowers were beautiful. Sarah from SELVA<\/a> did an amazing job with each floral piece we used!<\/em><\/p>\n

To be honest, the HAILSTORM was the most memorable part! At the time the storm came through, Danielle was in the car on her way to the ceremony site, a old abandoned stone house in the woods. While Ernie was at the stone house lighting candles for the wedding! Ernie<\/span> was out in the rain and hail in the woods, taking cover under a fallen tree! The storm passed quickly, the ceremony began, and the sun even shined through the trees.<\/em><\/p>\n

Danielle has Cherokee in her blood. So, we used an Indian wedding vase to drink wine from, to celebrate and respect that Cherokee heritage. We also did a smudging ceremony to purify and bless the body, aura, and ritual space at the start of the wedding.<\/em><\/p>\n
