Ready to plan your elopement? Here are a few tips to get you started
Oregon is an adventurer's paradise. Plan a hike in the Cascades, a picnic by the coast, or a cozy campfire in a secluded forest. Make your day as adventurous as your love story. This way, you're ensuring you're making some memories and your day is enjoyable and not just picture-perfect.
Even though you're eloping, there are still details to manage, like obtaining your marriage license, securing location permits, and arranging for witnesses. Make a checklist to ensure a stress-free celebration. Even better, you can download ours for free here.
Oregon's weather can be unpredictable, particularly in the mountains and along the coast. Bring layers, waterproof gear, and sturdy footwear depending on your activity to ensure you're prepared for your outdoor elopement.
Elopements are intimate by nature, so personalize your celebration. Write your own vows, choose meaningful music, and incorporate special touches that reflect your relationship. Whatever it is that makes you two as a couple, include it.
Whether you're drawn to the dramatic cliffs of the Oregon Coast, the lush greenery of the Columbia River Gorge, or the tranquil beauty of Crater Lake, pick a location that reflects your personality and love story. You will be happy finding the right location that really reflects who you are as a couple.
A great photographer can help you plan your elopement, guide you through getting necessary permits, scout out the best locations, and capture stunning photos that you'll cherish forever. Always make sure you're hiring someone who knows the area well and can help with these elements, especially where safety is required. This is what I do for all my couples eloping in Oregon.

"My wife discovered Jessica through instagram after we decided to get eloped in St. Augustine, Florida. A charming place we absolutely fell in love with that now shares a special place in our memories and our hearts. Initially what attracted us to Jessica were not just the photos, but the photo concepts Jessica creates ie. the double exposures, which are absolutely phenomenal. But as it turns out as well, Jessica has a vast network of vendors who helped create a beautiful memory of the special day by producing the most stunning flower arrangements, wedding cake design, and romantic beachside picnic setting, as well as an officiant who provided a memorable and touching ceremony.
