Written in the Stars: An Olympic National Park Milky Way Elopement $6,800

Written in the Stars: An Olympic National Park Milky Way Elopement

  • Mountains
  • Beach

This package is best for couples who love an evening centered experience in a remote area and love the slow pace of waiting for the night sky to come out!

Your experience begins in the late afternoon at your vacation rental in Port Angeles where you’ll spend the time laughing and getting ready with your guests before you share a first look together. 

You’ll drive to a local beach where you’ll hear the waves crashing against the shore as you share your vows with your small group of guests. After some adventure portraits on the beach, we’ll head to a local restaurant for dinner! Filling your bellies with nomz and getting ready for the stargazing evening ahead. 

You’ll then bid your family goodbye as you travel up to Hurricane Ridge where you’ll bask in the glow of sunset with a short 1.5 mile hike with lanterns keeping light as we wait for the milkyway. As we wait we’ll head back to the car to snack on a charcuterie board as you get to experience a whole new kind of darkness.

The stars come out and this is where we get to play in the starlight! You stargaze and I create artful portraits of you! A perfect close to a day that blends thrill, love, and the majesty of the alpine wilderness.
