Sarah & Gabe eloped on a beautiful, foggy morning in the Pacific Northwest. Their closest friends joined them for an intimate gathering on Mt. Rainier where they exchanged their vows, said “I do”, and celebrated with gifts, hand written notes, champagne and breakfast.

Read MoreThese two adventurers came all the way from California to elope at the charming little Copper Creek Inn on the Ashford side of Mt. Rainier National Park. After the ceremony, we wandered around the mountain and took some awesome wedding day portraits at Longmire Bridge. Although it can be pretty chilly, February is such a beautiful month at Mt. Rainier (the parts that are accessible at least) because it is typically rainy and overcast, and the rich, moody colors are unmatched! Such a peaceful and wonderful afternoon to get married!
Congratulations Alexandra + Alan!
Read MoreAmanda + David had their first look and wedding portraits done at Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park, a couple of months before their Seattle winter wedding, and it was absolutely gorgeous! The weather pulled through for us and brought a perfectly moody, overcast Washington day on the coast. These two were such a blast to work with and hang out with for the afternoon, and I absolutely love when couples choose an off-site location for their wedding portraits! Congrats again, Amanda and David!
Top 5 benefits of having your first look and wedding portraits done ahead of time:
You can choose a location with incredible views (like this one!) or one that is special to the the two of you! You aren’t limited to your wedding venue and the surrounding area.
Most of the wedding day nerves disperse with the first look! If you get it done ahead of time, you can look forward to your wedding day with nothing but excitement!
Have more time on your wedding day to relax, socialize, and party! Also, there’s no need to spend the first half of the day hiding from each other since you have already seen each other in your wedding clothes!
You can use it as a trial run for your hair and makeup.
If we get the timing right, you will likely already have photos in your wedding attire that you can use at your wedding for your decor, guestbook, etc.
