Mt. Hood wedding Archives - Lindsay Blair Photography

I can’t say enough about how amazing a day at Mt. Hood Organic Farms is! When I first meet L & E, I knew that their wedding day would be filled with so much laughter. One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is getting to know my couples through the process of photographing engagement sessions and planning along with them their wedding day photography.

When you have your engagement photos taken (and I highly recommend you do), you quickly learn that it is a bonding experience between you and your photographer. You are both getting to know each other and start to become comfortable with each other. I love the feeling of walking into the wedding day feeling more like a friend than a vendor. This mutual feeling will also show in your face through your photos. L & E were no exception and I was so excited and honored to be a part of their day. It is so obvious that these two are loved by so many. As with any wedding I photograph, I am genuinely a little sad when it is over because I look forward to these weddings from the time they are booked. Both E & L were so much fun to work with through this entire experience!

In addition, Mt. Hood Organic Farms was the PERFECT venue choice for their celebration! This place quickly become one of my favorite venues to photograph, and the staff there is nothing short of outstanding. The unobstructed view of Mt. Hood is absolutely stunning. A big thank you to the vendors that made this day as perfect as it was! Please see the list below for vendor information, I highly recommend each and every person on this list! Congrats to L&E!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE elopements at Timberline Lodge near Government Camp, Oregon? I especially enjoy intimate elopements with amazing couples like Katie & Ivar. While I absolutely love photographing larger weddings, elopements hold a very special place in my heart. Without the pressure of schedules, guest arrival, and many of the other moving pieces that come along with planning a larger wedding, I get to witness couples being truly present and in tune with each other when they marry. This was exactly what Katie & Ivar wanted for their day.

When I initially met with Katie, I knew that capturing the details of the day would be of utmost importance. She left no detail untouched, a photographers dream. I also love that we planned the day to start with Katie & Ivar getting ready together at the lodge. When couples go beyond tradition and bend the rules, it makes beautiful photos. And of course, the rooms provided at Timberline Lodge made the perfect backdrop for their details and getting ready.

What we hadn’t anticipated was a blizzard the day of their elopement! Luckily, Timberline Lodge has great places to photograph inside and outside. I have to give this couple a huge shout out for braving the weather conditions on this day. They were absolutely dedicated to getting the photos they envisioned, and it was so incredibly worth it. There was nothing better than warming up with the Timberline hot chocolates during and after a blizzard. I was beyond thrilled to be a part of this intimate and beautiful day. Congrats to Katie & Ivar!

As for any wedding or elopement, it takes a team of vendors to make the day possible! A big thank you to all the vendors listed below.
