This past January I photographed an intimate elopement ceremony for my dear friends Lisa and Kevin at the Salt Creek Recreation Area in Port Angeles, WA.

After meeting on a bus in Perú, the two started a relationship that spanned multiple continents, van trips, and epic hikes that eventually landed them here in Seattle, WA. Like so many of the thoughtful ways in which Lisa and Kevin move through their lives, this ceremony was an extension of who these wonderful people are and the relationship they have created together. From reading hand written vows overlooking the Straight of Juan de Fuca, to Lisa making her own wedding dress (!!!), to Kevin helping his niece take off her jacket after a walk, to the deep sense of love and happiness radiating off them - these are the days that remind me why I photograph weddings.

Also, huge thank you to Sid at Sweet Annie Floral Design for the beautiful bouquet and floral design! More of her beautiful floral work can be found at: www.anniesflowerfarm.com
