Katelyn + Murray
When life hands you + your partner a pandemic + a work trip in Seattle, Washington, you elope in the Pacific Northwest.
Katelyn + Murray [a filmmaker] reside in Los Angeles, California, but packed their bags to take advantage of their recent stay in the Pacific Northwest: by eloping! These two lovebirds planned their adventurous mountain elopement at one of the most picturesque spots in Oregon; a stunning viewpoint near Mount Hood.
We are and always will be advocates for adventure elopements, as they allow you the freedom to pick and choose any traditional elements of bigger weddings you may desire, while leaving the "fluff" and stress behind. Katelyn + Murray elected to elope at Mt Hood because they wanted to be able to focus on one another during their elopement day.
Since Murray + Katelyn were visiting Oregon from California, we were happy to help them select an elopement spot that really resonated with them! With a list of potential locations in Oregon and Washington in hand, Katelyn + Murray decided on this beautiful place near Mount Hood for their elopement.
Katelyn + Murray's unforgettable Mt. Hood elopement included exchanging vows at a secluded viewpoint shrouded in soft fog, with their adorable dog April by their side. The Cascade Mountains create their own weather patterns, which means keeping an eye on forecasts, as they could change drastically. Luckily, Katelyn + Murray's mountain elopement day weather changed for the better, with the Oregon downpours letting up just in time to hike to the viewpoint of Mount Hood.
Low-lying clouds kissed the foothills of the Cascades where the trees looked even more green, Katelyn + Murray hand in hand exchanging jokes and vows, as April the pup looked on. Nestled in the Pacific Northwest’s rugged beauty, this intimate elopement near Mount Hood, Oregon captured the raw romance and serenity of the forested landscape. With mist rolling over the evergreens and dramatic mountain vistas peeking through the haze, their foggy mountain elopement felt like something out of a fairytale!
