A Fun Time at McMenamins Edgefield


As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the incredible privilege of witnessing love stories unfold in countless beautiful settings. But every now and then, a wedding comes along that stands out—not just for the love shared, but for the creativity and atmosphere that make it truly unforgettable. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a one-of-a-kind disco ball-themed wedding at the enchanting Edgefield McMenamins in Troutdale, Oregon, and it was nothing short of magical.


Nestled in the lush landscapes of Troutdale, Edgefield McMenamins is a historic property bursting with character and charm. From its vintage architecture to sprawling gardens, it’s an ideal venue for couples who want a wedding location with personality and a story. For this disco ball-themed wedding, Edgefield’s eclectic ambiance was the perfect canvas.

The couple’s vision was bold and playful: a celebration that combined vintage disco glamour with modern romance. Imagine shimmering disco balls, glistening as the sunlight filtered through leaves, and glittering reflections dancing across the reception—a perfect blend of old-world charm and retro flair.


From a photographer’s perspective, the challenge—and joy—was capturing the marriage of elegance and quirkiness. The reflective surfaces and dynamic lighting created a playground of light and shadow, offering unique photographic opportunities:

Glittering portraits: Shots where the bride's gown shimmered under the disco lights, the reflections creating a dreamy halo effect.

Candid dance floor moments: The golden glow of the disco ball spotlighting joyous expressions and spontaneous dance moves.

Romantic quiet moments: Against the rustic backdrop of Edgefield’s gardens, the couple shared intimate moments.

Every image told a story not only of love but of celebration, creativity, and the joy of embracing what makes a couple uniquely them.


This disco ball-themed wedding at Edgefield McMenamins was a testament to the idea that your wedding should reflect your personality and passions. It wasn’t just about tradition; it was about creating an experience that guests would remember forever.

For me, as a photographer, being part of this vibrant celebration was a reminder of why I love what I do: helping couples freeze these moments in time, whether it’s a tender glance or a dazzling dance move beneath a thousand sparkling reflections.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s as unique and radiant as your love story, consider how creative themes and unforgettable venues like Edgefield McMenamins can turn your day into an extraordinary celebration. And when the time comes, I’d love to help you capture every shimmering moment.
