Alyssa + Chris dreamed of a vow renewal that felt private, meaningful and completely focused on the two of them. Lake Quinault gave them exactly that—a quiet setting surrounded by the lush forests and peaceful scenery of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.
They started the morning slowly at Lake Quinault Lodge, spending time writing their vows and getting ready together before heading out for their ceremony. There was no packed timeline or long list of traditions to follow—just an intentional day built around celebrating their relationship and the life they’ve created together.
A Romantic Vow Renewal Ceremony At A Private Lakeside
Alyssa + Chris exchanged their vows during an intimate lakeside ceremony surrounded by towering trees, calm water and the quiet sounds of the forest. It was simple, private and completely focused on the promises they were making to each other.
After their ceremony, they traded wedding attire for something a little more comfortable and took a canoe out onto the lake. It gave them time to slow down, soak everything in and celebrate without immediately rushing off to the next part of the day. They ended the evening back at the lake with drinks, sweet treats and plenty of time to simply enjoy being together.
Kind Words From Alyssa & Chris
“Our photographer search is over! Holly is a GEM! She was so patient with our strong willed toddler who does not like her picture taken, made it fun, and inserted some playful guidance to let her personality shine. We couldn’t be happier with the photos. Our session with Holly was the most fun and enjoyable session we’ve ever had. We will travel to the ends of the earth to keep her as our forever photographer. Book her. You won’t regret it!”
