Your day begins as you get dressed in your wedding attire on opposite sides of your car as the world begins to light up. You’ll share your first look under headlamps before heading up the trail to experience the quiet wonder before the first sunrise. You’ll stand hand in hand at Hurricane Ridge, watching the first light of dawn spill across the rolling peaks of the Olympic Mountains. Wrapped in a blanket with a steaming mug of coffee you’ll watch the world awake around you—deer moving softly through the meadow, alpine air crisp with the scent of wild pines.
You’ll say your private vows as the sun rises and explore the ridge together, every step a reminder of why you chose to include this part of your day—just the two of you, fully present in the magic of the day.
You’ll then return to Agate Lodge, where your closest family awaits you for a heartfelt ceremony and reception. The homey lodge is filled with the sound of clinking glasses, joyful toasts, and the kind of conversations that only happen in the warmth of a small gathering.
As the sun dips low, you’ll make your way to the beach. The golden hour envelops the shoreline in a soft light as you run around on the beach, laughing at the water’s edge. You’ll then head back and dance the night away with your guests. It was a day that felt both wildly adventurous and deeply rooted in love—a perfect balance of solitude, family, and the timeless beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
