A Sauvie Island Engagement


Sauvie Island (Wapato Island) is one of the largest river islands in the United States. It's about 10 miles north of Portland, close to St. John's. It has 24,000 acres of grass fields, woodland trails, beaches, and farms. There are a couple of trails that lead out to open fields - offering a beautiful backdrop of tall grass, moody trees, colorful sunsets and clear, moonlit skies. This location is great if you're looking for that open field, big sky, tall grass vibe. It's a piece of the countryside just 30 minutes from Portland!
