Wind & Waterfalls | After-Wedding Adventures in the Gorge

September 15, 2020 by Ara R. in Adventure Elopements, After-Wedding Adventures

Why at all at once, my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
- My Fair Lady

One redheaded fox, one golden-haired stag, one rose-gold gown, one emerald suit, one windswept veil, and romance to fill a cup until it flowed over. Such was the week of Kennedy and Tim’s wedding in the Columbia River Gorge.

After a grand, beautiful wedding shindig at Skamania Lodge. we journeyed back out to the Gorge several days later to go waterfall chasing. I was wrapped in merry wind and a real-life fairy story as I stood on rocks, in water, and in green and golden fields.
