Columbia Gorge elopement

The Columbia Gorge has so many amazing options for elopements and is one of the best areas for outdoor recreation. If you decide to elope somewhere along the Columbia Gorge, I highly suggest spending a couple days around Hood River, Oregon. Whether you want to ski at Mt. Hood, hike incredible trails, shred mountain bike trails, paddle board on the Columbia, go rafting on the White Salmon river, or go wine tasting at any of the amazing vineyards in the gorge, you will certainly not be disappointed.

Eli and Sierra were originally going to elope at Mt. Rainier National Park, however the spring weather had other plans! Last minute we decided to switch their elopement location to the Columbia Gorge for the spring wildflowers and a stunning waterfall location. S & E chose to have a ceremony with their immediate family and then celebrate afterwards with a family picnic and adventure portraits after! The wildflowers were absolutely gorgeous on their late May date!
