Love in the Vines: A Chic & Intimate Wedding at Ghost Hill Cellars - The Perfect Vineyard Wedding in Oregon Wine Country


If you’re a sucker for a dreamy vineyard wedding, get ready to fall in love.

This styled micro wedding shoot at Ghost Hill Cellars in the heart of Oregon wine country was all about romance, luxury, and the kind of effortless elegance that makes you want to say I do all over again. From the lush florals to the intimate grazing experience (hello, Charcuterie Coupe glasses—because who says grazing can’t be chic?), every detail was designed to inspire. And with a powerhouse team of talented creatives making the magic happen, this shoot was an absolute vibe.



Let’s Talk About Carlton, Oregon

If you haven’t been to Carlton, Oregon, you are missing out. This little town is basically a wine lover’s paradise—picture rolling vineyards, charming tasting rooms, and that cozy, small-town feel that makes you want to stay forever. It’s got a deep-rooted history in agriculture, but these days, it’s all about world-class wine and farm-to-table goodness. Seriously, it’s the perfect spot for an intimate wedding that feels luxurious and laid-back at the same time.



Ghost Hill Cellars: Where Romance Meets Mystery

Now, let’s talk about Ghost Hill Cellars—because this venue is next-level stunning and it comes with a little mystery. The name comes from a legend about a gold prospector who was murdered on the land in the 1800s (I know, wild), and rumor has it, his spirit still roams the vineyard. Creepy? Maybe. But also kind of romantic in a hauntingly beautiful way.

The Bayliss family has owned this land since 1906, and when they turned it into a vineyard in 1999, they had no idea it would become the backdrop for some of the dreamiest weddings in Oregon. With sweeping views, golden-hour light, and that perfect rustic-elegant feel, it’s pure magic.


The Dream Team Behind the Shoot

Okay, let’s talk about the real MVPs—because this shoot wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible creative team that brought it to life:




A Look Straight Out of a Fairytale

The vibe? Romantic, organic, and totally effortless. The ceremony space was nestled right in the vineyard, with a wooden arch wrapped in the dreamiest florals by @flowersbyalana. Soft neutral tones, lush greenery, and just the right amount of wildness made it feel straight out of a Pinterest board.

And let’s talk about the bride—because WOW. @portlandmakeupandhair worked their magic with a natural, glowy look that highlighted her features without being too much.

Paired with a Madi Lane Bridal gown that was all about intricate lace and soft, flowy vibes, she looked like an actual angel.



The Grazing Moment You Need at Your Wedding

Okay, you know I had to take things up a notch with Charcuterie Coupe glasses. Picture this: Instead of a standard grazing table, each guest gets their own elevated coupe glass filled with artisan cheeses, cured meats, and all the fancy little bites that make grazing extra. It’s intimate, stylish, and totally fits the whole luxury micro-wedding aesthetic.

Plus, let’s be real—everyone loves charcuterie, but balancing a plate while sipping champagne? Not ideal. These little coupe glasses fix that problem in the chicest way possible.





Sweet Treats & Sips

No wedding is complete without dessert, and @the_pastrysmith absolutely delivered with mini handcrafted treats that were as pretty as they were delicious. Think delicate pastries, dreamy cakes, and the perfect balance of sweet and sophisticated.

Meanwhile, @sipandsocialpdx kept everyone’s glasses full with a selection of locally sourced wines and signature cocktails. (Because let’s be honest—good drinks are a must at any wedding.)




The Perfect Finishing Touches

Every detail of this shoot was carefully curated to feel personal and just right. @krystleclearevents nailed the coordination, making sure everything flowed seamlessly. @ardeneventcollective brought in gorgeous rustic-chic rentals that tied everything together, and @fiordesignstudio created custom signage and stationery that added the perfect personalized touch.

The whole day was captured beautifully by @myrtlecreativeco, who brought every little moment to life with their stunning photography and videography. Because at the end of the day, what’s the point of a gorgeous wedding if you don’t have the photos to prove it?




Final Thoughts: Why Micro Weddings Are Everything

This shoot was such a perfect example of why micro weddings are the way to go. They let you focus on the little details, spend quality time with your closest people, and create an experience that feels intentional and so special. And when you have an amazing team of vendors who truly get your vision? Absolute magic.






So if you’re dreaming of a vineyard wedding that’s equal parts elegant, intimate, and unforgettable, take this as your sign—Ghost Hill Cellars is calling your name. And if you need a little extra grazing magic? You know where to find me. 😉
