ABOUT
With wide-open fields, rolling hills, and incredible views overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, this location feels spacious, dramatic, and a little adventurous. Everywhere you turn, there’s another beautiful backdrop, making it perfect for those wide, scenic photos while still giving us plenty of space for closer, more intimate moments.
One thing to keep in mind - most of the time, it’s pretty windy here! But honestly, that’s part of the beauty of this location. The wind adds so much natural movement to your photos, especially with flowy dresses, hair, and layers. If you’re dreaming of open landscapes, windswept moments, and those iconic PNW views in the background, Rowena Crest is such a beautiful choice.
