FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET IN the olympic mountains
Spending sunrise to sunset in Olympic National Park is such an incredible way to elope! From sun-kissed mountains to lush rainforests to waterfalls to emerald lakes to rugged coastal beaches, every moment in the park provides a new and stunning backdrop. You’ll never run out of things to do and see for your elopement adventure!
Julie and Nick’s elopement began with a 4 am wakeup call and sunrise photo session in the Olympic mountains. It’s always hard to get out of bed on these long summer days, but it’s worth it! We grabbed some gear and headed up the hill for a short morning hike to one of the park’s best viewpoints. As the sun painted the mountains in oranges and pinks, they soaked in the scenery, along with a few curious whitetail deer. It was the perfect way to kick off their wedding day with the snow-capped peaks in full glory.
On our way down from the mountains, we stopped by a mossy forest grove, with sunlight peeking through the trees. The soon-to-be newlyweds wandered among the trees, the wedding dress sweeping through lush green ferns. We also swung by one of the park’s famous waterfalls for a quintessential PNW experience. Then it was officially time to get married, and we met up with their closest friends and family on the shores of Lake Crescent. The sparking water was a picture-perfect backdrop as they exchanged their vows. Afterwards, they enjoyed a picnic spread of charcuterie and cheer’sed with their loved ones who had traveled so far to celebrate with them.
As the sun got lower in the sky, we headed out to the coast to watch the sunset. Julie and Nick walked among towering sea stacks as the waves lapped the rocky beach. After sundown, they sliced some cake and listened to music with their fam, reflecting on the epic wedding day they’d shared. Overall it was an unforgettable day with perfect summer weather and fairytale-like backdrops!
