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.

Mount Rainier Elopement

On the day of Evan and Kelly’s elopement, I woke up and immediately went to check the conditions at Mount Rainier from my dining room window. Even though their wedding took place during the first week of September, Rainier is the tallest mountain around and can create its own cloud coverage no matter the season. Visiting in summer gives you the best odds of seeing the mountain, but there is always a chance that it could be covered in clouds.

Malinda and Greg were so excited to be able to share their love of traveling with their families for their elopement.

Baker Wilderness the most.

This was my first ever, not a surprise proposal! Meaning, that it was totally modern and untraditional. Emily and Brian knew they wanted to marry each other and wanted the moment they dedicated to this decision documented.

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.

Nick and Latasha are from Florida, which made this adventure session extra special. Not only was it their first time seeing Mount Rainier, but it was also their first time visiting the Pacific Northwest! They planned the trip for their fourth anniversary, and, as a present, Nick organized setting up their shoot with me (cue the awww’s).
