Oregon is one of the most beautiful places to elope. Every corner has hidden gems waiting to be explored and can serve as a backdrop for your elopement day. It features destinations such as endless moody coastlines, mountains with surreal terrain, corridors of waterfalls, and even glimpses of the old west with its desert landscapes.
The west coast states of Oregon, Washington, and California have become synonymous with eloping because of its natural beauty. Couples from all over have come to Oregon specifically to elope and have an adventurous wedding day. We have been fortunate enough to help so many couples elope in Oregon, so if you have questions — we’re here to help!
"Having a “traditional” wedding was our attempt to please lots of other people... Eloping allowed us to make the day truly just about us and what we both hold most dear."

"We want to enjoy each other's company without the stress of a showy wedding... We would like to share some time together doing what we enjoy most, going on an adventure."
-Karina + Gabriel
Hi! I’m Sienna and I’ve been a professional wedding and elopement photographer since 2010. I started off my profession shooting traditional weddings where the hectic nature of a wedding taught me to quickly adapt to any situation. My love for working with couples led me to seek out a more intimate way of photographing such a sacred event for two people. So many of the couples I had worked with were happy to get married, but felt overwhelmed on their wedding day to the point that they were ready for it to be over. So, I transitioned to elopement photography where couples could focus on each other and go at their own pace!
A little about me: I have an infant son, a wonderful + supporting husband Christopher, and two kitties. I love hiking, dancing, gaming, and vegan food!
Consider me your elopement day BFF, personal trail navigator, and relationship hype woman: here to be not only your Oregon elopement photographer but to help with locations, vendors, and your Oregon elopement timeline but to help with locations, vendors, the planning process and your Oregon elopement timeline!
Proud to be a Latina woman and LGBTQ-owned business that celebrates inclusivity + diversity.

Eloping in or around Mount Hood is a great option for those who love mountains, snow, or forests — hell yes! It’s also relatively close to Portland, making it easily accessible.
Mount Hood itself is home to Timberline Lodge, which may look familiar to fans of The Shining. It’s a historic, beautiful hotel that has several trails branching off from it to get views of the glaciers, snow, and expansive views. In the surrounding areas are opportunities to use the mountain as a backdrop with nearby lakes and dense forests for variety and seclusion.

The Oregon Coast has many good options for eloping thanks to its variety in the landscape. There are options for sandy beaches, clifflines, forests, and moody vibes depending on the time of year. The Oregon Coast works well for elopements because the scenes can be so dramatic with trees, beaches, and cliffs all colliding together in a gorgeous way! And because it’s the Pacific Northwest, there is the possibility of having some very moody scenes thanks to the fog, clouds, and rain. We are here for allll the moody vibes for an Oregon coast elopement.
Eloping in the Columbia River Gorge is perfect for anyone who LOVES waterfalls and hiking. Spoiler alert: we do too.
This corridor along the Columbia River, just east of Portland, has many options for epic waterfall shots to serve as the background for your elopement. The surrounding trees help break up the scenery and deliver an unrivaled experience to many other hiking locations. There are plenty of waterfalls to choose from — whether you are wanting to hike several miles or just hop out of the car and get stunning pictures! Every Columbia River Gorge elopement is incredible.

I know, I know…you might expect an Oregon elopement photographer to be biased. But as someone who has planned a wedding, scrapped it all and opted to elope, I can honestly say that it’s the way to go.
Like many other brides I had to weigh the cost, logistics, and invitation list that haunts every couple who considers having a more traditional wedding. The stress and burden of planning such a large event, even with help from friends and family, can be more than feels intuitive. And we’re here to let you know that if you’re deciding to elope, you’ve made a great decision!
You may have questions like:
How do I tell family and friends I’m eloping?
That’s why we have an elopement resource page dedicated to answering those questions and more! If you’re ready to get started on your journey or have questions of your own about elopement planning, let’s chat!
