Mt. Hood is blessed with many different sides. This elopement was done at the base of the mountain where it’s moss and fern filled. Lush all year which provides a stunning backdrop. If you’re wanting the big views you can drive up to Timberline and do your elopement there.

Naturally as someone who loves the outdoors, Mt Hood elopements are one of my favorite weddings to shoot in Oregon. I know the area well and have some really great spots off the radar I like to take my couples. And in the age of covid they just make the most practical sense for a wedding. This Mt Hood Oregon Elopement was such a refreshing change of pace to the really large summer weddings I’m normally shooting this time of year. it’s low key, fun, no pressure and having hours together with no wedding timeline pressure is the greatest gift of all for a photographer.

This year has seen a huge shift from postponements. Many however decided to do elopements in the mean time and throw a party next year which is really the best of both worlds. I’m super excited about all the elopements I’ve been photographing this summer and really enjoy when couples get a chance to just enjoy their day and relax with their closest friends and family.
