I met up with Allie and John for their adventure engagement session at a marina in Anacortes to start things off. Her family owns a a beautiful tug boat docked there, so we actually started out with a few images of the two of them taking a quick ride through the harbor, with Mount Baker providing a beautiful backdrop. Then, we drove out to some beaches, cliffs, and bridges that traverse the islands at Deception Pass. This place has been on my ever growing “list” for quite some time and it certainly did not disappoint! I love exploring new places and had never been to Deception Pass before, but I will certainly be returning! It is absolutely huge and incredibly beautiful, with trails meandering everywhere and dozens of gorgeous beaches and inlets. We had so much fun exploring that we almost got locked in the park, since we had wandered quite far from our cars and it was getting dark during our hike back, but thankfully the rangers were nice and let us out. 🙂

It was soooo much fun! Allie and John make such a beautiful couple and they were so great to work with, up for exploring anytime something caught my eye out there, which was quite often! They both looked incredible and Allie’s red flowey dress was the perfect way to end a spectacular day! And we even got them into the water at the end (really, it’s not so bad once you’re numb)! Washington has some of the most beautiful coastlines I’ve ever seen and while you definitely won’t find any warm sandy beaches, you’ll find a kind of dramatic coastal landscape that only the Pacific Northwest’s cool, wet climate can provide.

Thank you both for the amazing adventure engagement session! It was so great to meet both of you and spend the afternoon exploring Washington’s beautiful coastland! Enjoy a sneak peek at a few of the many highlights!
