Four Reasons to Plan a Pacific Northwest Elopement
#1 EPIC MOUNTAINS
Nature is magical in the PNW. The mountains in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon are so beautiful that travelers from around the world come to see them. It is inspiring and encouraging to witness the untouched beauty that makes up this part of the country. Here are my favorite mountains to capture epic elopements at:
- The one and only Mount Rainier (view my latest gallery here)
- Mount Baker
- Mount Tabor (Portland, OR)
#2 LUSH FORESTS
Who doesn’t love a good Lord of the Rings vibe? You can find a storybook landscape here with foggy sunlight peeking through the treetops and mossy forest floors for your elopement! The list below is a perfect place to start when choosing your forest elopement in the PNW:
- North Cascades
- HOH Forest
- Mt. Baker
- Snoqualmie National Forest
- San Juan Islands
- Mt. Rainier National Park
#3 Beautiful Coastline
People are obsessed with the PNW because most locations have water AND mountain views…the perfect combo. Enjoy a few photos from a stunning elopement on the Oregon coast with Kim and Chris. I love shooting elopements at Cannon Beach, Lincoln City and Manzanita!! Aren’t they the cutest?
