Your elopement begins at your cozy Airbnb, where I’ll capture the anticipation and excitement of getting ready – the little details, the laughter, and the quiet moments before the adventure begins. From there, we’ll head into the mossy forests surrounding Lake Crescent, where you’ll exchange vows beneath a mossy forest canopy. Afterward, we’ll take portraits along the lake’s glacier-blue shoreline, framed by rugged peaks and old-growth beauty.
In the late afternoon, we’ll set off for the highlight of the day: a sunset hike up Hurricane Hill. This short but rewarding trail winds through alpine meadows and opens up to sweeping mountain views. At the summit, you’ll share your private vows in the glow of golden light, surrounded by the peaks of the Olympic Mountains. To celebrate, we’ll pop a bottle for a champagne toast and picnic sandwiches, savoring the moment together before capturing final portraits as the sun sinks below the ridges.
