Buckle in for this one, folks. This couple knocked out an engagement session in the rain AND getting married with clear skies and a sunset, all in Olympic National Park. Doesn’t get much better than that. They turned their elopement into an entire vacation around the Olympic Peninsula, including renting an entire camper from Outdoorsy and camping the whole way. Cool right?!

This is what R+K said about the finalized plan for their elopement: “After further collaboration, we opted for more of an adventure themed elopement. We thought it would be more fun and enjoyable to travel in a rented trailer to our locations and stay at campsites. In doing this we are hoping to experience more, potentially invite others to simply stay at the different campsite locations (having separate invitations for the ceremony at Ruby Beach to oblige to the person limits set on our application), as well as lengthen our experience.” Chef’s kiss.

One of my ultimate goals with every couple is to reach that moment where we just organically CLICK. It always happens at one point or another, whether it’s by the end of our first phone call or a few minutes into the elopement day, but this couple was an exception. We clicked in our first email!! The Office references immediately started pouring in from all of us. My kind of people 😎

Something that everyone should experience at least once in their lives is watching the sun come up from when it’s pitch black until after official sunrise time. It’s one thing about this lookout that really has stuck with me - the way the light changed in front of us was too beautiful to describe without photos (and lucky for you and me, there are a ton of photos in the post!).

If you’re not one to shy away from massive trees, lush overgrowth, and a chance for rain, then the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park is the place for you to elope or have your intimate wedding. You’ll be surrounded by absolutely huge trees no matter where you end up, and you can say you got married in one of the only temperate rain forests in the country! Plus this area is vibrantly green all year round, making for the perfect location to get married in the Winter months in Washington state.

Have you ever seen such a beautiful morning elopement? There’s something that’s just so lovely about getting up early and using that stunning sunrise light, especially when it’s at a location as amazing at Deception Pass State Park. I hadn’t spent a ton of time around Anacortes in my first 2 years living here, but Deception Pass is one of my favorite places in the entire state. When these two told me all about their elopement (and then their new plan when COVID hit!), I was the kind of excited where you want to jump up and down. What can I say, I love my job 😍
