Elopement
The day began just before sunrise, with a sweet first look on the balcony of their SE Portland apartment building. We then started the drive, as the fog settled in and the sun turned from pale pink to vibrant orange as it climbed higher. Through bumpy and dusty forrest roads, we made out way to the trailhead. They were greeted with hugs and smiles from their close friends and family. And then began the intentional and scenic walk to the top of the mountain, to get themselves married…!
This was my first elopement and all I can say is that I am hooked for good. It was pouring the whole time, which added to the excitement and sense of adventure this couple has built a relationship around. I am so grateful I got to witness such genuine sweet souls experience the exhilarating thrill of sharing vows right next to a waterfall. I drove away with a smile on my face and a natural high from a morning spent doing what I love, with such fun, genuine, and (so very) kind people. Thank you Beth and Ryan, I loved being a small part in your big adventure.
