One of our favorite things about elopements is the ability to spontaneously choose a location that feels just right. We won't steal the limelight from Christina, who shares more below about how she + Geoff ened up in Oregon for their vows + how they settled on their amazing ceremony spot - a moss covered stone house in the forest, but let's just say we're pretty in love with their day. And speaking of love, the photos Phil Chester captured from C + G's elopement are really almost too good to be true!

From Christina, Geoff and I are both pretty laid back. From the beginning we both knew that we wanted something super small and intimate and it had to be in the mountains, surrounded by nature. Our goal was something relaxed and romantic with a touch of vintage-bohemian flair. Both of us were eager to visit the Pacific Northwest so choosing Oregon was easy. The Columbia River Gorge is like nothing we've ever seen before. Originally we planned to elope at Wahclella Falls, but the day before we found this abandoned stone house in the forest and we just knew this was the place. We were still able to hike up to the falls after the ceremony for some awesome photos.

Selva Floral Design (formerly The Green Dandelion) crafted the most perfect florals for Christina. The berry tones + greenery are just a great match.

We're pinning that bouquet for sure...

Isn't there such a magical feel to their ceremony?
