Intimate Timberline Lodge Elopement on Mt. Hood | Randy + Melissa

We were honored to capture Randy and Melissa’s intimate Timberline Lodge elopement on Mt. Hood. Despite the icy paths and strong 22 mph winds, these two stayed cozy inside the historic lodge—a smart choice given the sketchy outdoor conditions! Because their celebration was on a Thursday, the lodge was delightfully uncrowded, creating wonderful opportunities for romantic indoor portraits. The crackling fireplace served as a perfect, inviting backdrop for their heartfelt ceremony, and we had a blast capturing the couple’s love story throughout the lodge before they headed off to a celebratory dinner with their parents. This Oregon mountain elopement proved that even the chilliest days can be filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

If you're looking to elope this winter, I highly recommend Timberline Lodge. A bus runs daily from Sandy Oregon to Government Camp, then up to Timberline Lodge. Its a great option if you don’t feel comfortable driving in the snow. Check out the Bus Schedule HERE. Contact Timberline for your elopement and if you're looking for a photographer let’s chat!
