A Washington Mountain Elopement

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
— Helen Keller

Tiffany and Colby moved to the Pacific Northwest over three years ago in search of the mountains. Their cross country move from West Virginia landed them in stunning state of Washington. As their love grew so did their love for the captivating peaks. Colby and Tiffany live a dynamic and adventurous life, spending most weekends in the backcountry with their samoyed pup, Romeo. My husband and I first met Tiffany and Colby a couple years ago on a mountain climb and they have become great friends, as well as our backpacking and climbing partners.

I was honored when they asked me to help capture their spirit of adventure in some of the most beautiful alpine regions in Washington called the “Alpine Lake Wilderness.” We hiked roughly 14 miles to find a perfect elopement backdrop. The trail we travelled on was quite the challenge. It was filled with rock scrambling, narrow and steep trails, as well as panoramic views of the Alpine Lake Wilderness. Words and photographs can never do a place justice or capture the essence of the landscapes.

Congrats Tiffany and Colby on making it official. Your love story is 10 years in the making. Life has led you both to this very moment.
