SNOWY MIRROR LAKE PROPOSAL | MT. HOOD, OREGON

Mount Hood Proposal Photos

Mt. Hood is so beautiful.  I’m lucky that it’s such a relatively close drive from Bend (where I live).  When Alex reached out to me about proposing to Anna, his original plan was to head to Crater Lake national park, but this is your sign to always check road conditions because all of the park roads were closed from a heavy snowstorm.  We pivoted locations last minute to Mirror Lake trail up in Mt. Hood, and I’m so glad we ended up at the lake for their proposal photos.

After hiking in a couple of miles through thick snow, I arrived at Mirror Lake to find a spot to hide, only realizing that I was the only one at the lake, surrounded by a blanket of white snow, wearing a yellow camera bag.  I think I would have looked more suspicious hiding behind a tree if Anna somehow saw me, so I just did my thing and pretended to be a tourist with my three cameras and giant camera bag.  Let me tell ya, it was quiet as a mouse at the lake when they arrived!

The proposal was so sweet to capture.  Then we spent the rest of their engagement session wandering around Mirror Lake, capturing some of my favorite engagement photos so far this year.  Check out more of the images from their session below, or head to my Instagram @nickrazphotography  to see more of my wedding and engagement work.

BRASADA RANCH PROPOSAL

Engagement Photos Brasada Ranch Bend Oregon

Recently, I’ve been enjoying shooting some proposals around Bend Oregon.  There are so many good places to propose around here, but my favorite spot as of late has been Brasada Ranch.  I had the privilege of photographing a wedding there last spring, and had been dreaming of shooting there again.  Luckily, my dreams came true when Adam reached out to me about proposing to his now fiancé!  I did my usual, showing up early to find a good spot to hide out, testing the light and making note of compositions and photos I’d like to create after the proposal part.  I catch myself saying this often, but we really lucked out with a good sunset and caught some near-perfect light.  Scroll down to view some of my favorites from their engagement!

WINTER ELOPEMENT IN BEND OREGON

I absolutely loved photographing this winter elopement in Bend.  I typically shoot smaller, micro weddings here in Oregon, but I always get excited when couples reach out about elopement photography.  I also don’t typically shoot winter weddings, so that was a nice change. 

They wanted to get married with views of Mt. Bachelor in the distance, so I suggested we meet at the Dutchman Flat sno-park and walk a bit through the snow to find a secluded spot away from other skiers and snowmobiles.  We lucked out with beautiful light for their wedding!  They finished their ceremony with a classic snowball fight, which was so fun to photograph.   

Check out some of the photos from their elopement below if you’re looking for winter wedding inspiration!
