What an epic adventure with these two. Their flight from California was delayed and they almost didn’t make it to Oregon for their engagement session & to see their venue. In a mad dash, they flew in a day late, stopped at their venue, and then we met up for an adventure up at Mt. Hood. It was a gross, rainy day before heading up, but as we started our ascent up the mountain, I saw a great pull-off spot and we jumped out to get the gorgeous trees and fog. As we continued further up, the clouds literally parted and it was all stunning sunshine on Mt. Hood. We had some warm cozy breaks in Timberline Lodge for photos as well. So fun to be able to enjoy some of Oregon’s beauty with out-of-towners!
Jason & Amy | Latourell Falls Engagement Photos
When people think of waterfalls in Oregon, they often think of Multnomah Falls, which is why it’s so mobbed with people and difficult to have a fun and relaxed photo session. This is one of the many reasons I love shooting adventure engagement sessions at Latourell Falls. It’s a ridiculously short walk down to the falls, and most people that go head down to see it and then head back pretty quickly, so you often don’t have to wait much time.
If you’re going to just do photos there just briefly, it’s important to go more in the afternoon to get more light on the couple, however you will miss out on amazing sunset light in the surrounding area. For example, with this session, we started two hours before sunset and spent the first hour at the falls and I brought an external light so we could take advantage of the stunning sunset light at the end. It’s an added bonus that less people go to the falls closer to sunset time as well! If you are interested in an adventure session like this, you can check out our pricing here.
