DOWNTOWN PORTLAND ELOPEMENT IDEAS

Hotel elopements are ideal for intimate wedding parties wanting a retreat and high-end reception space. The Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon is stylish with a modern interior and refined rooftop terrace. This luxury hotel features cool wedding photo spots like their Instagram-worthy greenery wall and posh rooftop full of the glow of city lights.

MAX Light Rail

From train station wedding photos to wedding party portraits on the subway in NYC, couples often want to tell their love story with the places they take wedding photos. For this urban elopement, taking wedding photos by Portland’s MAX Light Rail also added to the allure of this styled elopement session.

Perhaps this MAX Light Rail stop is where they first met or maybe a station is part of their departure to the first leg of the honeymoon. We always encourage our brides to bring their authentic selves to their wedding day and document the small moments. Your wedding transportation or glam getaway exit is as important as any other wedding day memory. Make it your own, boo.

CITY WEDDING PHOTO IDEAS

Wedding Staircase Photo

Staircase wedding photos are fun because they offer a glimpse of couples in action. With blurry editorial wedding photos being a trend these days, adding the setting of a staircase gives a different perspective and can show off dress details.

With graphic wallpaper, the marble staircase bride and groom portraits from this styled shoot provide perfect wedding stair imagery inspiration. Catching a cool look at this The Label gown’s neckline, this modern glass staircase wedding portrait is on-trend and sleek.

Wedding Running Crosswalk Photo

We love a chic city wedding and what’s more urban than snapping tourist-style shots in your own city? From historic theater photos to crosswalk editorial moments, there’s something magical about city scenery and buildings.

This styled wedding effortlessly captures the elegance of a simple city elopement or trendy courthouse wedding. Running across crosswalks, under the bright bulbs of traffic lights, a budding city romance may be just the bold, fashion-forward wedding photos for you.

Wedding Champagne Pop Photo

Popping a bottle of champagne is always a wonderful way to celebrate just getting married. Scrolling through Pinterest, we find all sorts of wedding champagne pop photos. Whether spraying champagne on city streets or opening a bottle over a delicate champagne tower, the opportunities to snap a perfect champagne photo are endless.
