Olympic National Park | Emily & Christian’s Intimate Hurricane Ridge Elopement

Elopement at Hurricane Ridge!

Elopement at Hurricane Ridge with Emily and Christian! When Emily and Christian chose to elope, they knew that they wanted to celebrate in a way that felt true to them. They eloped in their hometown. They were surrounded by their friends and family. Their day was filled with so much love and laughter, and sharing a special moment between them. Afterward, they headed back to Washington to document their love for one another and to celebrate their new marriage. We knew the perfect location was Olympic National Park at Hurricane Ridge! They had just recently relocated to Washington and wanted to document where they lived. We knew this was the perfect location to show off Washington!

Quiet moments after all the excitement

Afterwards, we spent the afternoon adventuring and documenting their connection. So, we documented them with a more private session between just the two of them. So, it was the perfect way to slow down after all of the excitement. Soak in the quieter moments and capture their love story in a place that now holds an even deeper meaning.

WELCOME

This is me! I just recently relocated to Lacey, Washington from JAPAN!! The culture, food, and experience is something that I’ll never forget! I absolutely love sunsets. I watch my daughter admire them the same way that I do. You can bet that she is calling for me if there is one. My favorite food I would have to say is my besties Birria Tacos that I miss almost as much as her, haha! There isn’t anyone who makes them better!! My most unique characteristic would have to be that I can wiggle my ears. I just recently turned 31 years old and living it to the fullest with my beautiful family! I have got some pretty SWEET dance moves I must say. I’ll probably turn some music on and whip them out at our session!
