This elopement experience is designed to move seamlessly from land to sea, blending time with loved ones and a private celebration to close the day.
The day begins at an old European-style manor house, where you get ready together in a calm, elegant setting. Light filters through tall windows as you finish final details, take a moment together, and prepare to head to your ceremony. Portraits are taken throughout the property before leaving for the coast.
Your ceremony takes place at a state park on Whidbey Island, where you gather with family to exchange vows surrounded by trees and coastal views. After the ceremony, we take time for portraits along the shoreline, capturing relaxed moments with your guests and the surrounding landscape.
Once portraits are complete, you say goodbye to family and transition into a more private chapter of the day. We head to the marina and board a private boat for a sunset sail through the San Juan Islands. As the boat moves across the water, we focus on portraits on deck, using the changing light, open sea, and surrounding islands as the backdrop. Sunset on the water becomes the visual centerpiece of the experience, with time to slow down, take it all in, and enjoy being together.
The day ends back at your Airbnb, where a private chef prepares dinner. You settle in for an intimate meal, marking the close of the day in a way that feels relaxed, intentional, and complete.
This elopement is ideal for couples who want a refined coastal experience that balances meaningful time with family and a private, unforgettable ending on the water.
