Winter PNW Elopement | Lake Crescent & Cape Flattery

This PNW Elopement is one of my all-time favorites. The beautiful bride, Shaina, contacted me early on in planning – she hired me to photograph her proposing to her soon-to-be, Zach.

Once the proposal happened, planning began. There were questions on where to go (because it was important that their adorable pups be included). They decided on a space and we were all set to go – and then a few days before, something unexpected threw a wrench into the plans and they came up with a back-up plan. I think it worked out beautifully.

Let’s hear a bit about their story from the bride’s perspective.:

How did the two of you meet?

We worked in the same career field but different jobs in the Air Force. We were stationed in Turkey together and both had ended hard relationships. Turkey was a high stress assignment, but we found peace with each other by traveling outside the base. We went on a lot of adventures- hiking, getting lost, exploring villages. I left Turkey before Zach to go to my next duty station, and he was separating the air force. We decided to do long distance and eventually I moved to Seattle to be with him after I had finished my enlistment.

 

What inspired the clothing choices for the wedding?

A comfortable, laid-backish style. I looked at my dress for months before buying it. I wanted all over lace, long sleeve, open back and not too fancy. We kept the relax look going with Ainsley’s outfit with a knit cardigan. Zach likes a vintage look and his brown jacket complemented it well with elbow patches and wool or tweed, whatever it is.

 

Describe any special moments planned.

We plan to read our vows privately on Lake Crescent at sunrise before we go to Cape Flattery for our  PNW Elopement ceremony.
