Bend, Oregon Elopement

Do you remember the moment you realized you found your person? It can feel like exhaling after holding your breath for years. A quiet knowing that you don’t have to search anymore. That feeling is what I’m capturing with my camera. For some its a deep calm beneath the excitement, a sense that love doesn’t just spark, it settles in and feels like home.

Hi! I’m Lana, a wedding photographer with 15 years of experience. I photograph with intention, calm and ease. I describe my photos as raw elegance. Photos are edited with rich tones and a subtle boldness.

This is my family.

My husband Shane and I have been married for 3 years. Our son, Scout, is 2.5 years old, and he is the heartbeat of our world.

The most memorable moment on our wedding day was when I looked at my husband and thought, finally, you're mine.

Top Bend Oregon elopement locations include:

Smith Rock State Park – iconic red rock cliffs + dramatic golden light

Sparks Lake – glassy water + Mt. Bachelor backdrop

Cline Falls State Park – basalt canyon + riverside serenity

Tumalo Falls – lush forest + waterfall ceremony views

Shevlin Park – soft light + easy forest access for low-key elopements

Why Elope in Central Oregon?

Whether you’re hiking into Smith Rock at sunrise, sharing vows beside the Deschutes River, or escaping into the forest near Sparks Lake, I help you plan and capture an elopement that’s uniquely yours—from the location to the timeline to every in-between moment.

I’m from Oregon.

As a born-and-raised Oregonian, I know this land like the back of my hand. I’ve spent years exploring the hidden gems and jaw-dropping landscapes that make Oregon one of the most magical places to elope.

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a photographer—you’re gaining a local guide, planning partner, and storyteller who’s passionate about helping couples create meaningful, unforgettable experiences.

    “ Lana was super down to earth and had good knowledge. I loved that she made a little collage of photos and poses she wanted to get the day of. The day of she was great and easy to work with. Her turn around time was quick and I was very happy with the photos I got from her and her pricing was well worth it. Would definitely recommend!”

I’m not sure where you’re at in your journey to find the right photographer for your day, but here’s what I can tell you about me.

I like to think of taking photos as just hanging out with friends. I focus on natural movements and your unique connection. How do you both show love? Sometimes the way you show it is silent, it's an unspoken bond, or maybe you’re never not holding hands.

Whatever it is, I got you.

I want you to feel comfortable, natural, and personal.
