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.

Lake Crescent Elopement

Devon and Chris chose to elope in Washington because it’s always been a dream of Devon’s to visit. Photos of the Pacific Northwest have always caught her eye, and eloping was the perfect reason to finally visit. With so much romanticizing of this location, I was a bit timid to ask her what she thought of it, but I was so happy when she said it all exceeded her expectations!

With only a few months left to live in Washington, they wanted to capture their memories here that reflect their experience of living near the water.

Backpacking to Stehekin

Stehekin is a remote town in the North Cascades — only accessible by foot, ferry (from the Lake Chelan Boat Co. and Stehekin Ferry), or plane. Based along the northern shores of Lake Chelan, the town is surrounded by 7,000-foot mountains and the third deepest lake in the United States. Saying it’s incredibly beautiful would be an understatement!

Thru-hiking the Enchantments

Of the 394,000 acres in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington state, the Enchantments are the crown jewel. Throughout the area, you’ll find jagged mountains, crystal clear lakes, and granite that has been worn smooth by glaciers. It’s common to spot fish jumping, goats climbing, and eagles soaring no matter where you go in the five zones.

North Bend Styled Elopement

Zoe and I arrived at the trailhead to a dusting of snow while it was still dark outside. The one thing that was visible was the cloud cover. There was a heavy fog everywhere. Our plan was to hike two miles to an overlook and take photos at sunrise, but I was beginning to wonder if it would be worth the time, considering we could get the same foggy images where we were.

Backpacking to Havasupai Falls, Arizona

My husband, Zach, and I backpacked to Havasupai Falls in the Grand Canyon in April of 2018. It felt unbelievably surreal while we were there, and it still doesn’t feel like it really happened.

Havasupai and Mooney Falls are two of the most famous waterfalls in the world, and rightly so. Their turquoise waters, surrounded by red rocks, are stunning. The trip there is quite the trek though — 10 miles each way, to be specific.
