Lana was truly amazing! She was so easy to communicate with, accommodating, caring and creative! We eloped on snowmobiles with kids in tow and she was great with the kids, patient and caught so many great moments in her photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos… and having her easy, calm, caring presence on our special day helped make the day go so smooth and feel so special! She’s also tough and fun and kept right up with our adventurous vision and helped make it even more fun! I couldn’t recommend her enough!

More Than Just Beautiful Photos


Hi! I’m Lana, a mother of a 3-year-old, wife living in La Pine, Oregon. I have 2 goats, 4 chickens, 4 dogs, and 2 cats! I’ve been a photographer for over 15 years and have traveled the world. I’ve been featured in Oprah Magazine and the Huffington Post, and I've worked with brands such as Harley-Davidson, Indian, Vans, and more.

When you work with me, you’re getting more than photography coverage. I help guide the process with a calm presence, thoughtful support, and an eye for the moments that matter most. From location ideas to natural direction in front of the camera, my goal is to help your elopement feel seamless, intentional, and genuinely enjoyable.

F.A.Q.

  • Rain is always a possibility with an Oregon elopement, but it doesn’t have to take away from the experience. I help couples prepare with flexible timelines, backup options, and location guidance so the day still feels beautiful and intentional. Some of the most romantic elopement images happen in mist, fog, and soft rain, and Oregon weather can add so much atmosphere to your day.

  • The cost of an Oregon elopement photographer can vary depending on coverage time, location, travel, and what is included in the experience. Most Oregon elopement photographers charge anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000+, with pricing often based on whether the package includes planning support, location scouting, timeline assistance, permit guidance, and travel.

    At Wild Pines Photography, Oregon elopement packages are designed for couples who want more than just beautiful photos — they want a meaningful, well-documented experience. Whether you are planning a simple coastal ceremony or a full-day adventure in the mountains, your photography investment reflects the time, care, planning, and storytelling that go into creating a day that feels true to you.

  • Once you’re ready to move forward, the process is simple and relaxed. Start by reaching out through my inquiry form and sharing a little about your vision, date, and the kind of Oregon elopement experience you’re dreaming of. From there, we’ll connect, talk through your plans, and make sure we’re the right fit.

    After choosing your package, I’ll send over a contract and retainer to officially reserve your date. From there, I’ll help guide you through the next steps, including location ideas, planning support, timeline guidance, and all the details that help your day feel intentional and stress-free. My goal is to make the process feel easy, personal, and exciting from start to finish so you can focus on the experience and not just the logistics.

  • Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send over your contract, invoice, and all the details needed to officially reserve your date. A 10% retainer is due at the time of booking, and the remaining balance is broken into payments leading up to your elopement. This keeps the process simple, organized, and a little more manageable so you can focus on planning a beautiful day.

  • A signed contract and non-refundable retainer are required to officially reserve your elopement date. Because I take on a limited number of bookings and hold your date exclusively, the retainer and any payments made are non-refundable in the event of cancellation.

    If you need to reschedule, I will always do my best to transfer your booking to a new date, depending on availability. If I am able to photograph your elopement on the new date, payments made may be applied toward the rescheduled booking.

  • Yes — I photograph elopements throughout Oregon, including the Oregon Coast, Central Oregon, and the Mount Hood area. Whether you’re dreaming of beach views, desert cliffs, alpine lakes, mountain scenery, or forest backdrops, I help couples choose a location that fits their vision and create an experience that feels intentional and beautiful.

  • Yes — I help couples with Oregon elopement permits and location logistics as part of the planning process. Some Oregon elopement locations require permits or have specific rules around ceremonies, parking, guest counts, accessibility, or seasonal access, and I help guide couples through those details so the process feels clear and manageable.

    From choosing a location to thinking through timing, travel, privacy, and overall flow, I help make sure your Oregon elopement experience feels intentional, beautiful, and well planned from the start.

HOW TO ELOPE IN OREGON

Planning an elopement doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Here’s how it typically works:

1. Choose your location

We narrow down the right place based on your vision, season, and level of adventure.

2. Consider permits + logistics

Some locations require permits or have rules depending on group size—I’ll help guide you through it.

3. Build a timeline

Whether it’s sunrise, sunset, or a full-day experience, we create a plan that allows space for real moments.

4. Show up and be present

This is the part that matters most. Once the day is here, you don’t need to perform—you just get to experience it.

Best Time to Elope on Mt Hood

  • July – September: Best overall conditions. Wildflowers, full trail access, and warm evenings. It stays light late.

  • October: Fewer crowds, cooler tones, quieter feel

  • November – March: Snow-covered landscapes, more intimate, slower pace

  • April – June: Limited access to higher elevations, but waterfalls and greenery are at their peak

There isn’t one “best” time—just different experiences depending on what you’re drawn to.

  • What couples are saying

    “ Lana was amazing to work with! She was so accommodating & flexible when we had to change our elopement date last minute. She made us feel so comfortable & at ease on our special day. Our pictures turned out amazing & I would highly recommend her! Thank you so much Lana! We will cherish these photos and this day forever!”

    “She was easy to talk to and understand exactly what we were looking for. The pictures turn out amazing! We highly recommend Wild Pines Photography”

    “Lana did an excellent job of shepherding all 17 of our family members through a fun experience and managed to get ALL of us looking good at the same time in numerous pictures- a feat I would have thought impossible! She was flexible and easy- going throughout the process”
