Bend, Oregon Elopement
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.

An Adventurous Spirit Behind the Lens
Hi, I’m Lana.
Elopements are all about adventure, and I know a thing or two about chasing it. Beyond my passion for photography, I’ve spent years traveling the world by motorcycle, exploring the winding roads of India, Africa, Europe, and across the USA. From riding through the rugged landscapes of the Himalayas to crossing vast deserts and remote countryside, my travels have shaped the way I see and capture the world—always seeking out the raw, unfiltered beauty of a moment.
Work with a Native Oregonian Who Knows the Magic
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 Central Oregon one of the most magical places to elope. From the high desert cliffs of Central Oregon to the lush forests and alpine lakes, I’ll guide you to the perfect location that matches your vision and vibe.
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.
A Team You Can Trust
I work with a handpicked team of talented, down-to-earth local vendors who share my values: authenticity, sustainability, and making your day feel like you. From florists and makeup artists to bakers, every detail is thoughtfully curated to reflect your style, your love, and your adventure.
We’re here to:
Eliminate decision fatigue
Save you hours of research and communication
Craft a relaxed, meaningful experience tailored to your story
Before launching Wild Pines Photography, I spent over 10 years as an event producer, bringing large-scale brand experiences to life for companies like Adidas, American Eagle, and Verizon. That fast-paced, detail-driven world taught me how to plan with precision, adapt quickly, and create unforgettable moments—skills I now bring to every elopement and intimate wedding I photograph. As a freelance photographer, my work has also been featured in Oprah Magazine, ELLE, and HuffPost, blending storytelling with intentional artistry to capture moments that feel as meaningful as they look.
