Sunrise Elopement in Snoqualmie
Every reason I have for choosing an intimate wedding was embodied in Cassie & Brad. A couple that has stood together in the face of challenges, grown together, loved together. They are each others person. She is his, and he is hers.
And this morning, the Snoqualmie mountains woke up just for them. To honor both the fate and commitment that has brought them together, just as the sun is destined to rise each morning.
Intimate Rainy Wedding in the Mountains with a Backyard Ceremony
Like many couples who choose to have an intimate wedding, Tiffany & Joe have invested time in themselves. They’ve grown together, they’ve learned together, their relationship has had ebbs and flows guiding them to where they are today.
The beauty of the tides we experience together is they’re not always easy. We can’t fight the undercurrents, but must swim with them to get to the other side. The undercurrent becomes a part of us, a quiet reminder in the way we smile and the way we speak. And most importantly, the way we stand together.
Tiffany & Joe chose an intimate wedding over a traditional wedding, an experience that felt like ‘them’. It was a cozy day with sun and rain dancing through the clouds. The rain seemed to be just for them, a gift, as they explored the mountains they had all to themselves. After adventurous portraits, they held a backyard ceremony with their friends and family. The tears shared were a nod to the undercurrents shared and survived, they were felt in the wind, with a rainstorm picking up speed to close their vows.
5 Tips for Artistic Wedding Photos
Photos that are more than just photos. A gallery you can look back on that evokes the smell of fresh morning rain, the crackling sound of a well-loved record, and the warmth of a well-deserved coffee.
When it comes to your wedding day, the thought of artistry may fall to the wayside, as you have much more important feelings, emotions, and logistics to prioritize. If artistic photos are a priority, hire the wedding/elopement photographer who’s photos you love. That much is obvious enough that it’s not included in the tips below. But there are a few things you can do to prepare and help a photographer (a.k.a. me) out, so keep reading.
Whispers on the water, but it's just the wind as it meets the leaves.
Footsteps haven't left a trace, but I know where we've been. Wanting without warning, we don't need one. In the darkness of fall, this intimacy is ours. I'm okay with not seeing another soul today, because all I need is yours. Given without hesitation now, although it wasn't always this way.
I'm wondering if it's as fleeting, or as everlasting, as whispers on the water.
