Bri and Michael’s personalities are amazing! We met up for their adventure session amidst the morning wildflowers and set off on a hike along the Silver Forest Trail. They were fun, playful, and full of energy, skipping along the wildflower trails and creating their own love story. A little rain didn’t bother them at all they embraced it, had fun, and even danced in it! After a morning full of laughter and adventure, we took a mid-day break for some food, naps, and relaxation. Bri and Michael spent this time enjoying some private, intentional moments together before their adventure elopement.
Bri & Michael’s Adventure Elopement
We regrouped at the Sunrise Corridor and hiked the Sunrise Rim Trail to the Wonderland Trail, finally reaching Shadow Lake. This stunning lake, with its magnificent reflections, set the scene for their intimate elopement ceremony. The best part? They had the entire lake to themselves, except for a quick visit from a velvet Buck! Their ceremony was filled with emotions, laughter, and the sweetest exchanges of loving glances. Bri and Michael wrote their own vows, adding a personal touch to an already beautiful and iconic ceremony!
My “Full Day Package”
Bri and Michael opted for my “Full Day Package”. This package includes The Full Day Experience, offering 10 hours of my time! You’ll get unlimited customization, including location scouting, vendor recommendations, tips, tricks, and logistical assistance. Plus, all your best-edited photos are delivered in an online gallery with full print release. No matter where you elope, I’ll cover all my travel costs, whether it’s accessible by a commercial airline or a 2WD car. I follow all 7 principles of the Leave No Trace Ethics Initiative because I care deeply about our world, and I know you do too!
Exploring Mount Rainier National Park
Mount Rainier National Park is a magical place, especially the Sunrise Corridor, where we needed a timed entry in the morning for our adventure session. If you’re planning to elope in the park between 7am-3pm, you’ll need a timed entry reservation for certain dates and locations. For the Paradise area, via the Nisqually or Stevens Canyon entrance, reservations are required from May 24th through September 2nd. For the Sunrise area, via the White River Entrance, reservations are needed from July 3rd through September 2nd. However, if you plan to elope before 7am or after 3pm on these dates, no reservation is necessary.
