Ahh, Seattle! The city that has it all 🙌🏻 W Ahh, Seattle! The city that has it all 🙌🏻 Within a couple of hours you can change your back drop from mountains to insane city views. There is something for everyone. Because you know your girl loves to educate you in all things elopement, I have gathered my 5 favorite spots for Mountains & Hiking Trails in Seattle ⤵️ ✨ The Enchantments: Rugged alpine lakes and snow-capped peaks—perfect for couples who are up for an adventure and want an epic, high-altitude elopement. Permits are required. 🏞️ Lake 22: A glassy lake surrounded by towering evergreens, with a moderate hike that rewards you with stunning views. It’s an ideal spot for a wild yet accessible elopement. 🌅 Rattlesnake Lake & Ledge: Peaceful lake vibes and an epic view. Go for sunrise to have the place to yourselves. 🏔️ Mount Baker: Snowy peaks and remote terrain for a wild, private elopement experience. 🌄 North Cascades National Park: Untouched wilderness and incredible views, perfect for an intimate elopement. Fall foliage or spring wildflowers are the best times to visit. Next up? Waterfront & Lake Locations 🌊  #elope #elopementphotography #oregon #oregonphotographer

Taking a seaplane in the Maldives? The views are u Taking a seaplane in the Maldives? The views are unreal, but the ride? Not so much. Think tiny seats, no AC, deafening engines, and turbulence that really makes its mark. 😅 If you get motion sick, trust me—double up on those meds. It’s also a moment to reflect—while we’re vacationing, there’s a stark reminder of the economic disparity between visitors and locals. A little gratitude and perspective can go a long way. 🖤 #maldives #travel #familytravel
Vows don’t have to follow any script—let them Vows don’t have to follow any script—let them come from the heart and reflect who you are. Here’s a guide to get you started and to help you break free from the usual and make your vows uniquely yours: 1️⃣ Recall a wild moment: Think of a quirky adventure you shared or something unexpected that brought you closer. Talk about how those moments shaped your love. 2️⃣ A promise with a twist: Instead of the usual “I promise to love you,” try something more playful, like “I promise to always steal your fries when you’re not looking.” 3️⃣ Get personal: Mention something only you two share—a phrase, a look, a silly inside joke. It’ll make your vows feel intimate and real. 4️⃣ Be raw and real: Don’t be afraid to get vulnerable. Share how your partner makes you feel in the most honest way possible, even if it’s a little messy. 5️⃣ Visualize the future: Skip the traditional “forever” and instead talk about the adventures you’re dying to experience together—whether it’s traveling the world or tackling a dream project. Ditch the pressure and make your vows as unique as your love story. Speak from the heart—no rules, just you. #oregon #oregonelopement #pnw #elopementphotography #elopementphotographer #pnwphotographer #exploreoregon #writingvows
