When your dream engagement session takes place at a European Villa but you live in Oregon, what do you do? Enter Villa Catalana Cellars located in Oregon City, Oregon! When Marshall and Jessica inquired for their engagement session and shared their vision for their dream session with me, I instantly thought of this beautiful location. Villa Catalana Cellars is a special place that can take you back in time and place while being only a short drive from Portland, Oregon.

Customizing engagement sessions for my couples is something I love doing! And this Villa Catalana Cellars Summer Engagement Session is a wonderful example of what happens when your dream session becomes a reality. 🙂 Have your own dream session ideas? I would love to chat! You can reach out HERE.

The Location: Villa Catalana Cellars

This Villa Catalana Cellars Summer Engagement Session took place at a quaint winery located in the eastern part of the Willamette Valley, just thirty minutes south of Portland, Oregon, nestled between Canby and Oregon City. Their beautiful estate is inspired by the 12th-century Romanesque church, San Clemente de Tahull, in Catalonia, Spain with the tasting room doubling as a rare plant conservatory, where you’ll find a variety of unique tropical plants thriving. Villa Catalana Cellars blends the owners love for gardening, food and wine curating a truly special experience upon visiting.

This beautiful location allows a limited number of weddings to be hosted on their grounds each year and you can learn more about their wedding rentals HERE. And yes! They also allow photo sessions to be held on their grounds for a small fee and upon request. Contact them directly to learn more.

From the couple: “ANN MARIE!!!!  You’ve outdone yourself! These are absolutely amazing, and we LOVE the inclusion of gifs. Thank you SO much for all the time and energy you put into these, they truly turned out fantastic. 
I can’t wait to look through all of them again because it’s so hard to even pick favorites! We would love to reach out to you when we decide what to do for our marriage. Thank you so so much for capturing these beautiful photos! 🙂 :)”
