Elopement and Photoshoot Location in Lebanon, Oregon


Today I'm sharing one of my favorite spots for elopements, engagements, and proposals: McDowell Creek Falls in Lebanon, Oregon. This designated hiking tail is a DESIGNATED RAINFOREST (crazy!) and features 3 miles of hiking trails with two stunning waterfalls ( Royal Terrace and Majestic Falls). It's something of a hidden gem in Oregon, and I've had the pleasure of photographing and hiking the trails multiple times.


McDowell Creek Falls is a great option for couples who are looking for an epic hiking experience or just a park-and-shoot location. There are multiple parking spots at the trail giving you tons of options as we plan out your session. As an experienced Oregon elopement photographer, I can help you find the perfect spot for your elopement or engagement photos, and McDowell Creek Falls is hard to beat for rainforest waterfall elopement vibes. The lush greenery and cascading waterfalls make for a breathtaking backdrop that can't be beat. And if you're planning a proposal, can you imagine a more romantic and beautiful location?


Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking for a stunning location for your photos, McDowell Creek Falls has something for everyone. And I'm here to help make your vision a reality. So why not consider McDowell Creek Falls for your next adventure?
