Katie and Josh’s Summer Silcox Hut wedding above Timberline Lodge Resort on Mt Hood was a wide-open playground. What better place to connect with family and friends with such vast views while also getting married! The gorgeous views and pink-purple light felt like magic everywhere. Katie and Josh wanted a simple “elopement style” wedding with intimate time together with 13 guests from their immediate family (6 adults, 7 kids under age 14). As always, Silcox Hut is an adventure riding up in the SUVs, gourmet dinner served by the Timberline team with a long table stretching down the center of the historic Silcox Hut.

Katie and Josh started their day by enjoying Timberline Lodge Resort while we captured some creative portraits then jumped on an exciting SUV ride up through the boulders and rugged road leading up for their summer Silcox Hut wedding. There’s something about that adventure ride that gets all the right energy flowing as everyone looks out over the vast views. And there’s also nothing like having the entire Silcox Hut dedicated to your wedding ceremony while surrounded by everyone you love.

Katie and Josh are both nurses, best friends, love walking in nature, camping, and traveling. Josh’s brother performed the ceremony and we feel extra lucky because Josh’s sister-in-law who is a wedding photographer graciously gave us praises encouraging Katie and Josh to use our photography. Kudos!

We never feel like we can overstate the magic at Silcox Hut. We followed Katie and Josh everywhere as they dove into their lovely chemistry walking together, enjoying the views, and taking in each other and their beautiful love. The images below have an undeniable feeling we witnessed during their beautiful Summer Silcox Hut wedding.
