Picture Lake Marriage Proposal

Lake Wenatchee Marriage Proposal
Having a beautiful place all to yourself in Washington is a treat — especially a spot as easily accessible as Lake Wenatchee. It’s a great spot to snowshoe in the winter or picnic and swim in the summer, so it was a pleasant surprise to have the entire beach to ourselves the evening Deep proposed.

When I think of the Olympic National Park’s rugged coast, Ruby Beach is the first place that comes to mind. It’s easily accessible, has dramatic sea stacks, tide pools, driftwood, and the most iconic sunsets. In fact, I would go as far as to say it’s Washington’s most beautiful beach.

Dramatic West Coast Cliffside Marriage Proposal
The further I drove out on the Olympic Peninsula, the foggier it was getting. When I got to the trailhead, there were cargo ships tooting fog horns in the distance — a very bad sign. I was afraid the views, like the ships signaling to one another, would be socked in with fog.

Sheridan and I organized his proposal to Kaitlyn in two weeks! They were visiting Washington to backpack in the Olympic National Park.

Surprise Proposal at Priest Point Park, Olympia
One of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest is having access to beautiful nature, close to home.

Olympic Peninsula Surprise Proposal
When Eric reached out to me about photographing his proposal to Allison one week before their trip to Washington, I was ecstatic — I love photographing proposals! Growing up, he’d spent his summers visiting his grandparents living on the Olympic Peninsula, so he already had plenty of ideas of where to pop the question. He was debating between it happening on the Dungeness Spit or an iconic lavender farm when I told him about my secret gem of a spot. He was immediately sold!
