👆🏻The power of different lenses 👆🏻 It’s so fun to shoot the same pose with the same composition, but use different lenses to achieve a unique look for each shot. We love both versions, but the second pops a bit more, which adds to the drama. Which do you like more? .

Two things I want to say about this elopement: 1) This is one of the most jaw-droppingest ceremony spots we shot at all year and 2) This was some of the craziest weather we experienced all year and a great example of how fast the weather can change in the mountains! As the ceremony progressed, a blanket of dense clouds was rising from the valley. You can see it starting in the first pic and if you swipe, you can see how we were fully engulfed by the first kiss. But we’ve seen this kind of thing happen before and thought if we hiked up a bit farther, we might pop out above the clouds. We hauled ass up the mountain a few hundred feet and sure enough, emerged above it all to the most incredible inversion we’ve ever seen. And just in time to watch the sunset. It was nothing short of magical ✨ .

Sharing some of the in-between moments from this incredible day. These two came all the way from Atlanta to kick off their marriage amongst the epic peaks of the North Cascades. They invited their parents to join them and had Ariel's father officiate the wedding. The sun was shining, excitement levels were off the charts, their parents were all so fun, and they were so happy to be part of something this unique. After the official "I-do's" we celebrated with bottles of bubbly, a delicious cake, an epic spread of charcuterie and sandwiches, and a hole lot of laughs. Brandon and I got to know their family and listed to stories of their own adventures. It's always such a cool experience for us to not only spend time with our couples, but get to know their families too 💕Once everyones bellies were full, the guests packed up to return to their cabins and we wandered off with A&A for them to read their vows to each other privately. Lots of laughs and happy tears. And to end the night with a bang, they broke out a bottle of bourbon and danced around the mountain like a couple of rock stars 🤘🏻⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Eloping isn't for everyone, and that's totally okay! But I can tell you it was 100% right for these two. They had so much fun every second of this day, and that's exactly how it should be.

This week, we're looking back on some of our favorite memories from the North Cascades. This shot is from our first elopement in these mountains last summer. It also happened to be one of our longest hikes of the season. It whipped us into shape real quick 😂 Despite the long trek up here, these two still managed to haul up a portable record player so they could have their first dance on vinyl, along with a 6 pack of their favorite beer, Founder's Kentucky Bourbon Stout (delicious!). On top of that, Josue spontaneously decided that morning to hike with an authentic 1920s pack that was at their cabin. Major style points! (He said it actually carried super well) Their close friend joined them to officiate and the 5 of us had our own little party on the side of a mountain. We let the stars come out before throwing on headlamps and hiking/dance partying back to the car, where they signed their marriage license to cap off the night. It was the perfect start to an epic season in this incredible place. .

When we’re editing photos, sometimes we feel like Bob Ross cause these landscapes do not even look real. We’ve got some happy little trees, a happily little alpine tarn, a happy little newlywed couple, and a happy little big ass mountain. Definitely a painting 🎨 Bob Ross would approve I think. .

Photographers refer to the hour after sunset as “blue hour” Its that time just before it’s dark enough to see the stars and all the light around you has a cooler blue tone to it. But at Rainier, we call it “Purple Hour” and it’s an absolute dream.

We’ve been doing a lot of first dances during blue hour and it’s been incredible. Imagine standing at the top of a mountain, or on an ocean cliff just completely alone. It’s usually a little bit after the sun is gone, the stars are just starting to appear above us, and all the sounds of wildlife around you are quiet. It’s romantic, just as the close to your wedding day should be. The two of you embrace and sway together to a song that holds meaning to you. And speaking from my own experience, every time you hear that song, you’re always taken back to this very moment.
.
Who here had a first dance? What was your song? Or what will be your song if you do one? Ours was Mambo Sun 🌞 Plus 10 points if you know that glam rock jam 😏

Brandon’s parents got engaged on Christmas Eve 1987 and my parents got engaged on New Year’s Eve 1987. Kinda crazy! Those two days are actually the most popular days of the year to get engaged. There’s a reason the wedding industry refers to this time as “engagement season” haha. So in honor of all you newly engaged folks, we’re kicking off 2020 with a new blog on unique eloping ideas for planning your elopement. We scrolled through all our Instagram posts and picked 10 real life ideas that our couples incorporated into their day to get you amped on planning your epic adventure wedding!
.
And if you’re still there thinking it’s crazy that both of our parents got engaged within one week of each other in the same year... they also got married on the same day of the same year. How’s that for a mind warp?! Nearly 32 years later and both couples are still in love 🥰 June 4th is a lucky date 👍🏼

2019 was an unusual year for us. We saw thousands of stars at a dark sky preserve in New Zealand, swam with sea turtles in Kauai, climbed an iconic peak in the North Cascades for an elopement, snowshoed and snow camped, took my city dwelling parents on their first major mountain hike, wrapped up a major re-reno on the airstream (can’t believe we’d lived full time in that thing for 4 years without a shower 😂), we worked with 43 couples planning and documenting their most incredible adventures, we hired a bad ass team of photographers to help capture even more epic adventures next year, our business was featured on @goodmorningamerica, we hiked like crazy this year and achieved our highest level of physical fitness to date, and we watched many incredible sunrises and sunsets in our favorite places. It was a wonderful year for us.
.
It was also a tough year for us. We almost lost our best friend, my buddy Aiko whose been with me for over 9 years. I tore my rotator cuff in March and have been battling constant shoulder pain for the better part of a year. When chopping vegetables is tough, imagine having to lift a camera for a living. I had to say goodbye to hard climbing months ago and that’s been a tough lifestyle change for me. Our personal life took a major backseat to our business, putting a strain on our friendships and marriage. We literally haven’t taken a day off work since our New Zealand trip 9 months ago. Literally a single day hasn’t gone by without work. And I’m not proud of that.
.
We learned a lot this year about ourselves and what truly makes us happy in life. We are proud of the success we’ve achieved, but want to continue growing without the expense of what drives us. 2020 will be a big year of growth for our business, but it will also be a big year of getting back to our true values, finding that incredible work-life balance we once had, and working hard to maintain that. And maybe a lil shoulder surgery so I can get back out on that rock. So excited to take all we’ve learned over the years to make 2020 the best one yet for our couples, our business, personal adventures, our climbing, and our love for each other. Cheers to 2020 🍻
