After a full weekend of shooting I returned home for the week and prepared for the next two dozen locations I had to shoot for the story.  Early Friday morning I made way to Walla Walla, WA.  I first stopped in Hood River to shoot a few Brewing companies.

DAY 4

Full Sail Brewing- Hood River, OR

pFriem Family Brewers – Hood River, OR

Aniche Cellars – Underwood, WA

The next stop on my list was Maryhill Winery.  But mother nature had another plan for me…as I was unable to get there due to Forest Fires.

Columbia Crest Winery- Paterson, WA

After my long drive to Walla Walla, I was beyond ready to settle down for the night.  I rented an Airstream for two nights at ‘Chilleville’ in Walla Walla.  Once I arrived, I was speechless to find my home for the weekend.  It was my first time sleeping in an airstream, and I hope its not my last.

DAY 5

Walla Walla Roastery – Walla Walla, WA

Inn at Abeja – Walla Wala, WA

Charles Smith Wines – Walla Walla, WA

Dunham Cellars – Walla Walla, WA

T. MaccaRone’s

Burnwood Brewing – Walla Walla, WA

Brasserie Brewing – Walla Walla, WA

Saffron – Walla Walla, WA

Jimgemanbar – Walla Walla, WA

I ended my day with a gathering at the Chillville party pad.  Zibby, the host for Chillville, had invited those whom were staying in the airstreams to join her and a few of her friends for dinner and drinks.  It was the perfect way to end a long productive day.  I highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Wine Country!

DAY 6

Bacon & Eggs – Walla Walla, WA

Colville Street Patisserie – Walla Walla, WA

The Green Lantern – Walla Walla, WA

Marcus Whitman Hotel – Walla Walla, WA

Amavi Cellars – Walla Walla, WA

My shoot at Amavi was one of my favorites of the weekend.  I had a great group of people to photograph as well as a picteresque background.  We had arranged the shoot during a super moon!  And seeing that moon pop up over the rolling hills and mountains in Walla Walla was a sight to remember.  Simply amazing!

DAY 7 { Last day…long drive home }

Cadaretta Glass House  – Walla Walla, WA

Hedges Family Estate – Benton City, WA

Before I knew it, my journey and assignment had come to an end.  After two weekends of running around Eastern Washington, tasting fabulous wines and soaking in stunning views I was returning home.   This experience reminded me what I love about traveling and photographing.  I look forward to more opportunities like these in my career.   Till then, I have my first cover shoot and a lovely Blog to document my adventure!
