CRATER LAKE PROPOSAL

I’m Nick, an intimate wedding photographer based in Bend Oregon!  I photograph intimate weddings and engagement sessions in Oregon and beyond.  Earlier this summer, I drove down to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon to photograph this magical engagement.  And yes, there was still plenty of snow, so keep that in mind if you’re planning your engagement photos at Crater Lake as the roads into the park are only open certain months of the year.

After hiking half a mile or so on the Discovery Point Trail, I got to the proposal spot around golden hour.  This is one of my favorite trails in the park I’ve hiked!  The two mile roundtrip hike takes you along the rim and is the most accessible trail in the park year-round in terms of views.  We caught near-perfect light during our session, and after photographing the surprise proposal, adventured through the forest and stopped at most all of the viewpoints along the walk back to the visitor center.  

Sunset and “blue hour” is one of my favorite times of the day to shoot, if the weather cooperates, so I’m really glad we were graced with that sunset light!  Check out some of the photos we got during their session below.
