Crag Rat Hut Wedding with Stunning Mt. Hood Views

Crag Rat Hut Wedding: The Perfect Day
Now, I know as a wedding photographer I’m not supposed to play favorites…but I can’t help myself—this Crag Rat Hut wedding was one of my absolute favorite weddings of the year. And honestly, can you blame me? A dreamy mountain backdrop at sunset, a stunning bride with delicate foliage tattoos and a dress to swoon over, a groom head over heels for his bride, and a dance floor finale to Rasputin. What’s not to love?
Let’s rewind a bit, though, to how Alex and Connor got here.
A Hinge Match Made in Heaven
Alex and Connor first crossed paths on Hinge, but their real connection unfolded in the great outdoors. For Alex, their first camping trip was when she realized something magical was happening. “It was so peaceful and comfortable. I probably should have had more reservations about being in the middle of nowhere with a man I’d known less than three months, but here we are!” Alex shared, laughing.
For Connor, a last-minute trip to the coast cemented his feelings. He knew he wanted to spend forever with Alex, and the trip turned into their engagement weekend. He popped the question near the tidepools in Yachats—a sweet nod to their first date, where Alex spent hours geeking out over every sea creature she could find. (And in a move straight out of a rom-com, Alex had hidden a ring for him, too!)
Their Wedding Day
The vibe of Alex and Connor’s Crag Rat Hut wedding was pure magic. Set against the incredible mountain views that the venue is known for, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by their favorite people.
Alex, who could easily be mistaken for a Disney princess (I mean, have you seen her light up over tiny lizards?), was an absolute vision. Connor looked sharp, but let’s be real—his favorite accessory was the way he couldn’t take his eyes off his bride.
From heartfelt toasts to an energetic dance floor (seriously, Rasputin was the moment), their wedding day was everything they wanted: a big party with all their favorite people, plenty of laughter, and love that was felt by everyone there.
A Perfect Love
It’s hard not to get swept up in Alex and Connor’s story. From their shared love of nature to the way they talk about each other with so much warmth and admiration, they’re the kind of couple who make you believe in soulmates.

And Alex and Connor? Here’s to a lifetime of spontaneous camping trips, tidepool adventures, and dance floor jams.
