Picture Lake Marriage Proposal 

Allison and Justin were visiting all three of Washington’s national parks via camper van. They headed to Mount Rainier first, then up to the North Cascades before ferrying to the Olympic Peninsula. Allison suspected that Justin would propose on this trip, but she didn’t know where or when it would happen.

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.

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!

Lake Crescent Lodge Surprise Proposal

Sheridan and I organized his proposal to Kaitlyn in two weeks! They were visiting Washington to backpack in the Olympic National Park. Originally, Sheridan wanted to propose in the rainforest right before they left on their backpacking trip, but after giving it some thought, he knew that Kaitlyn would prefer being dressed up for this moment, so he booked a room at the Lake Crescent Lodge.

Lake Crescent Spring Engagement

The Olympic National Park is known for its rain — it is the United States’ wettest continental rainforest after all — so it was a delightful surprise when the forecast predicted sunshine for Maggie and Ryan’s engagement shoot. We arrived to see clear skies, a sparkling blue lake, and temps in the 60s! It was a wonderful change from the rainy spring we’ve had in western Washington this year.

Lake Cushman Elopement

Just a half-hour before photographing Nicole and Kamal’s newlywed and engagement photos, I was driving through a thick fog in Hoodsport. I was anxious for the rest of the drive — the weather is one of the only things out of my control when it comes to photoshoots, and all three of us were hoping to have gorgeous mountain views for these shots.

Winter Olympic National Park Engagement

The Olympic National Park is full of so many incredible, yet easily accessible, locations. This lake, in particular, is one of my favorite spots to visit. It has everything you could want in one location — mountains, a lake with a picturesque dock, forest, and even a waterfall if you’re willing to hike. Like magic, the mountains look good no matter the weather, so it’s truly a gem to see.

Mount Rainier Fall Engagement

Mount Rainier is known as “the mountain” here in western Washington. At 14,417 feet, it’s the state’s tallest mountain. It’s so tall and prominent, in fact, that it creates its own weather. Often, you’ll see Rainier wearing a “cap,” or lenticular clouds that regularly form atop it. That being said — reliable weather is not what Rainier is known for.
