If you haven’t been to Smith Rock state park, it’s one of my favorite places to explore in Central Oregon, and so I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area. I get excited whenever I get an inquiry for a wedding, proposal, or engagement session in the park. This time around, it happened to be a proposal.
I do a good amount of location scouting each time I find myself at Smith Rock, so I knew of a really nice, secluded spot in the north end of the park along the North Point trail. We had the entire spot to ourselves, just as I had hoped! After the proposal, we made our way to the south end of the park, stopping along the walk at the different, stunning view points Smith Rock boasts to take photos. We lucked out with beautiful weather and light, though the wind was a bit much that day. Take a look at some of the images I shot during their proposal below, and check out my Instagram to see more of my recent work.

Darleen + Ian had such a simple yet sweet elopement at Brasada Ranch, just a short drive from Bend and a photographers dream to shoot- full of endless mountain views and high desert landscape to roam through. We explored the property for a bit to grab some portraits, then walked over to the Trestle pond, where they chose to say their vows, with the Trestle bridge in the background and Cascade mountains in the distance as they looked out. This is one of my favorite Oregon wedding venues, and I’d be so thrilled to shoot a wedding here again!
Scroll down to view some of my favorite images I shot at their elopement. I even got to snap a few photos on her polaroid camera!

This backard wedding in Bend Oregon was really special. Makayla and Nathan chose to get married at this property in Bend, connected to this beautiful field of flowers with a stunning view that they used as their ceremony backdrop. They wanted to keep their wedding intimate and simple, which I really enjoyed. Makayla and her bridesmaids got ready at the Sage + Honey Spa, then we headed up the road to the property for their ceremony and reception.
I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Bend Oregon, and I often travel to other parts of Oregon or the Pacific Northwest for weddings, so I loved not having to travel far to capture their wedding day. These two were also super photogenic, and I think their photos turned out wonderful. Take a look at some of their wedding photos below or check out my Instagram if you’re looking for backyard wedding inspiration, and reach out here if you’re on the search for an engagement and wedding photographer in Oregon!
