Maysara Winery Wedding Inspiration in Oregon Wine Country

A Maysara Winery wedding already feels a little like escaping to Italy. That made it the perfect setting for Ti Amore. This immersive, Italian-inspired wedding editorial was designed to feel less like a styled shoot and more like a real wedding day unfolding around us. There was dinner, wine, live music, dancing, layered tablescapes, and so much intention behind everything.

For full transparency, this wasn’t a real wedding day. It was a creative collaboration built to explore what a wedding at Maysara could feel like. Especially when the venue, fashion, florals, food, and overall atmosphere all work together. My hope is that these images give you inspiration for what your own Maysara Winery wedding could look like!

This day was photographed on a mix of film and digital, and you’ll see both woven together throughout the blog.

About Maysara Winery in McMinnville, Oregon

Maysara Winery sits on 532 acres of Momtazi Vineyard in McMinnville, right in Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country. The winery itself is built from stone and wood, with vineyard views and indoor and outdoor spaces that make it feel a little Old World. Maysara even describes it as one of the largest indoor and outdoor event venues in the Willamette Valley!

It’s technically outside Washington, but I loved Maysara enough to include it in my ‘10 Dreamy Winery Wedding Venues in Washington State‘ guide. It earned a spot as one of the venues that’s absolutely worth crossing the state line for. If you love wineries, intentional design, and a setting that already brings so much character to a wedding day, this one is absolutely worth having on your radar!

The Inspiration Behind Ti Amore

Ti Amore was created to feel less like a traditional styled shoot and more like a wedding you could actually step into. The whole idea was built around movement, connection, and real energy instead of perfectly posed moments that only exist for the camera.

Photographers arrived dressed as guests and became part of the celebration. We sat at dinner, toasted with wine, danced, and photographed everything as it unfolded around us. That made the entire experience feel so much more alive closer to the way I want a real wedding day to feel.

The creative direction pulled from an Italian summer, with bold color, layered textures, wine, food, music, and thoughtful details throughout. Paired with Maysara’s vineyard setting and Old World feel, it all came together in a way that felt like a destination wedding in Italy without leaving Oregon.

Colorful Italian-Inspired Wedding Details

The Ti Amore color palette was so much fun. Warm orange, pink, soft blue, olive green, and creamy neutrals showed up throughout the florals, paper goods, fashion, and little styling details. It felt summery and playful, but still really intentional against all of the natural stone and greenery at Maysara.

I loved how the Italian inspiration showed up in smaller moments too. Maysara wine, vintage-inspired accessories, fresh fruit, colorful stationery, wax seals, hand-drawn illustrations, and mismatched textures all helped build the world around the day. It felt creative and full of personality.

A Floral-Filled Outdoor Maysara Winery Wedding Ceremony Set-Up

For Ti Amore, the ceremony was set on the Lawn, surrounded by tall trees and golden summer hills. The Slow Cult lined the aisle with loose, colorful florals in pink, orange, soft blue, and white, while Sideways & Co. brought the full styling together. I just loved how much color they used without taking away from the landscape around it! Truly gorgeous.

If you’re planning a Maysara Winery wedding, you have three main ceremony options to choose from. The vineyard-facing Lawn, Balcony, and Winery can each accommodate up to 250 guests. The Winery has huge wooden doors, cobblestone, French-oak barrels, and vineyard views. The outdoor spaces let you lean fully into the Oregon wine-country setting.

This ceremony setup below is on the main vineyard-facing Lawn, but the vineyard is visible from behind which you’ll see as the bride and groom walk down the aisle together.

Maysara Wedding & Bridal Portraits

Ti Amore included two couples and a separate bridal look, which gave me the chance to photograph Maysara in three different ways. The main wedding look had a beautiful textured gown with a powder-blue suit. We photographed them around the winery, with the vintage Mercedes from Classics for Weddings, and out out in the vines as golden hour hit.

The second couple had a much more relaxed, Italian-summer feel with a simple cream dress, embroidered shirt, and bicycle. Then we switched things up again with a sleek bridal look and veil for portraits throughout the vineyard. With Maysara’s stone architecture, rolling vines, open fields, tree-lined hills, and little roads winding through the property, there is SO much variety in one setting!

Outdoor Cocktail Hour & Reception Inside Maysara Winery

Cocktail hour stayed outdoors beside the winery. There was lounge seating, florals, wine, and cocktails from The Tipsy Lemon. I loved how guests could actually relax, grab a drink, and spend time together before dinner. And the colorful signage, striped straws, citrus, and florals carried the Ti Amore palette right into this part of the day.

For the reception, everyone moved inside the winery, and this space is truly gorgeous. There were long tables beneath string lights, surrounded by wood, stone, and those huge winery doors. Sideways & Co. layered patterned linens from Nuage Designs with rentals from Lily & Cane and Arden Event Collective. Then there were colorful florals throughout the tables and around the sculptural cake from Dream Cakes. I loved the mix of candlelight, wine, warm afternoon sun, and all the texture that made the room feel so intimate.

And I think this is one of the biggest perks of a Maysara Winery wedding. You can spend cocktail hour outside soaking up Oregon wine country, then bring everyone indoors for dinner and dancing. This venue is one I’ve definitely fallen in love with!

About Lauren

Photography that starts with people.

I was the yearbook kid. The one who always had a camera, always wanted to document the people around me. When my friends couldn't afford senior photos, I picked up a camera and decided that if nobody else was going to make sure they had beautiful photographs of themselves, I would.

That was the beginning, and I've never really stopped from there.

In 2018 I shot my first wedding and completely fell in love with the industry. All these years later, I'm still here -- still loving it, still showing up with fresh eyes.
Now I have my own studio inside the historic Tacoma City Hall building, a toddler who keeps me honest, and a deep appreciation for the fact that nothing stays the same for long. All of these things shape the way I take photographs.

Let's get your love story documented authentically.
