SNOWY MIRROR LAKE PROPOSAL | MT. HOOD, OREGON
June 6, 2024
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.
