The Griffin House Wedding
The Griffin House Wedding / Hood River, Oregon
Eugenia and Andrew’s wedding was full of so many colors, sounds, and physical feelings (the wind was a big one; hugs were another). For some reason, displaying these images in chronological order didn’t do them justice. Each image tells its own story as a standalone while also contributing to a much larger narrative, and for that reason, this post isn’t in a specific order. It’s in an order that encourages viewers to submerge themselves into each photo and pause before the next, rather than doing a quick scroll.
During their wedding ceremony, Andrew spoke directly to Eugenia’s parents, reading personal vows to them in Korean. It was an almost surreal moment.. everyone completely silent.. all you could hear was Andrew’s voice carrying words in a beautiful, foreign cadence with the wind off the river connecting his sentences. Andrew stated that he will support, learn from, and protect Eugenia at any cost, and Eugenia’s parents sat in awe, her dad, Sam, wiping tears from his face. At the end of the vows, Sam gave Andrew a sweet thumbs up and a giant smile filled with love and pride.
So grateful to have been here for each one of these moments. Thank you, Eugenia and Andrew, for allowing me to witness.
