Although I’m now based in Dallas, Texas, I spent years photographing weddings in Oregon, and this is where my journey as a wedding photographer began. Bend will always have a piece of my heart. It’s where I fell in love with documenting love stories surrounded by towering pines, mountain views, and soft golden sunsets.
If you’re here because you’re planning an Oregon wedding, this guide is for you. These are some of my favorite venues from my years shooting in Bend. But if you’re planning your wedding in Dallas or anywhere in Texas, I’d love to bring that same timeless, intentional, romantic style to your celebration here.
