In March of 2021, I decided it was about time for a road trip. It’d been too long since I hit the open road with the sole purpose of creating memories and photographs so I planned out destinations from Washington to Southern California, and set out on my 11 day adventure. I met and photographed a total of five couples and one good friend, and attended two styled shoots. 

The first destination: Packwood, Washington just outside of Mount Rainier National Park. 

If you’ve never visited this special place before, it’s a must see in the Pacific Northwest. From waterfalls, to fire lookouts, a giant active volcano, glaciers, and wildlife, there’s so much incredible natural beauty to witness. It’s a place where you can take a deep breath, and just be.

For eloping couples, it’s like a giant nature playground or a tranquil retreat. Say your vows with the mountain looming in the background, or next to a river at your Airbnb. Have a slow morning with your coffee, a good book, and your love on the front porch. Or plan a day full of hiking and exploring. There’s no limits to how your day can go, but if you ever need guidance or ideas, look no further. You’ve found yourself someone who lives for helping couples plan their own intentional experiences. :)
