Autumn Mt. Hood Elopement

Ronny and Alena had the most gorgeous mid-October elopement spanning from the Columbia Gorge to Mt. Hood! We were even feeling hot during their afternoon ceremony! We truly lucked out with the best day in so many ways. Ronny and Alena started their Oregon elopement at their airbnb in Rhododendron, Oregon. They got ready separately and then shared a first look by the river. We then hopped in the cars to go to their ceremony at Government Cove, which offers beautiful views of the Columbia River. We met their families at the ceremony and they exchanged vows and shared champagne toasts.

After their ceremony, we took Ronny and Alena to one of my favorite waterfalls in the Gorge! We hiked to the falls and enjoyed all the beautiful fall colors along the way. After exploring the falls, we headed to Hood River for lunch and a coffee pick me up at Ground Coffee! Then we headed up to Mt. Hood for a sunset walk/mini hike for Ronny and Alena to explore and also exchange private vows together. We arrived right as golden hour was starting, so we had gorgeous golden light for their private vow exchange and first dance! Then we enjoyed the most beautiful buttery sunset with views of Mt. Jefferson, the Sisters, and Mt. Hood (of course)! The fall and autumn colors around Mt. Hood was also such a nice touch to the gorgeous landscape.

We truly had the best day together and I’m so happy Mother Nature pulled out all the stops for Ronny and Alena!
