Curated Love & Luxury at the Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg

"When you’re working at a place this beautiful, it’s already given you such a solid foundation to work off. It’s our job to ensure we’re highlighting all of that beauty through the design," Jodi Iverson said. When approaching the floral elements for this styled shoot, Jodi Iverson of Jodi Iverson Florals took cues from the property to create a warm color palette and a playful design. “I utilized toffee and honey Dijon roses, coral tulips, lilac orchids and strawberry butterfly ranunculus to represent a vibrant fall palette,” she says. “Everything was designed to really complement the interior and exterior of the resort and grounds.”

The pastry chef at The Allison crafted a dessert display that was not only breathtakingly beautiful, but served as a masterful example of local patissiere. Staged by executive chef Jack Strong, the array offered house-made truffles, cookie bars, dessert breads and other bite-size takeaways, all of which highlighted the flavors of the Pacific Northwest.

For photographer Rithy Tamba of RTFaith Photography, the photogenic venue made the shooting experience memorable. “The grounds are beautifully curated with lush gardens and stunning architecture, making it a dream location to photograph. Its beauty and charm provide an abundance of opportunity for stunning photos,” she says. “I utilized the grounds to not only create romantic shots of the couple surrounded by the lushness of the Pacific Northwest, but incorporated the unique lighting design indoors within the foyer and ballrooms to produce some sensational portraits." Ashley Lachney reflected on the shoot, "It takes a village, truly. I say every time we tackle one of these projects together that I’m so glad I live within the PDX event industry. Everyone is so willing to help, loves fiercely and shows up for each other. I mean, if we can create this much magic and beauty with an editorial, imagine what your wedding could look like."
