Anderson Lodge – Hilltop House wedding for Nicole and Hunter was such a beautiful celebration to photograph. This venue is surrounded by forests and mountain views that make every moment feel peaceful and romantic. We love capturing weddings here because every direction offers a picture-perfect backdrop for couples who appreciate the beauty of nature. The open outdoor spaces, fresh air, and sweeping scenery make it ideal for couples who want a relaxed yet stunning setting for their wedding day. For us at Original Weddings, photographing at Anderson Lodge – Hilltop House is always inspiring.
Nicole and Hunter’s story is such a sweet one. They met during deployment in Japan, both serving with dedication and purpose. Although far from home, their connection grew stronger with time. After returning, they built their life together in Omaha, Nebraska, where Nicole continues to serve in the Air Force as a flyer on RC-135s and Hunter studies wildlife biology after his own service. They both share a love for the outdoors, hiking, camping, and bouldering whenever they get the chance. Their wedding perfectly reflected that spirit calm, natural, and filled with love under the open sky.
The outdoor ceremony captured their adventurous hearts beautifully. We love photographing weddings like theirs because they remind us how unique every love story can be. At Original Weddings, our Portland-based team travels across the entire Pacific Northwest to capture such moments. Whether it’s the first look surrounded by trees or laughter during the ceremony, our focus is always on documenting real emotion.
