There is something about weddings and styled shoots in Central Oregon that feels like breathing in fresh air. When a team of creatives comes together around a venue as magical as Loloma Lodge, the result feels both intentional and effortless. That is exactly how this Foxbound Florals feature came to life in the forest by the McKenzie River.
A Forest Setting That Feels Like Home
Loloma Lodge is one of those places that feels deeply connected to the landscape. Tall trees, quiet forest light, the river just out of frame — the setting invites couples to slow down and soak in every moment. Whether you are planning elopement portraits or a full wedding weekend, this venue makes you feel like you are part of something peaceful and grounded.
For this shoot we wanted to capture florals that felt rooted in that environment. Something wild but intentional. Something that would add texture and life without taking away from the natural beauty around us.
Foxbound Florals: Natural, Textured, Organic
The florals were designed by Foxbound Florals, and I loved how each arrangement felt like it belonged in that space. The colors and shapes echoed the forest floor and the green canopy overhead. The bouquets and installation pieces were soft and romantic, the kind of florals that move in the breeze and invite you into the scene.
These designs didn’t fight with the venue. They enhanced it. They felt like a natural extension of the lodge’s spirit.
Capturing the Moment in Real Light
As a wedding photographer in Central Oregon my favorite moments are the ones that feel honest. Enjoying a slow moment between looks, watching a couple take in their surroundings, noticing the way light filters through the trees. That was exactly what this day gave me.
Loloma Lodge offers so many layers to work with. The tall pines create pockets of gorgeous shade perfect for portraits. The river lends soft reflections and movement that make images feel alive. The cabins and lush greens create grounded backdrops.
What I love most about shoots like this is that they remind us why weddings are about more than how it looks. They are about how it feels. The quiet, the laughter, the intentional design that supports the story you want to tell.
Thinking About Your Own Celebration?
If you are dreaming of a wedding filled with organic florals, gentle natural light, and a setting that lets your guests feel relaxed and present, Loloma Lodge and florists like Foxbound are a beautiful place to start.
Your day does not need to be perfect. It just needs to be yours. Beautiful moments happen when you allow your wedding to reflect what feels real to you. That is what I love to capture most.
