For this adventure engagement session, we started with a hike to the lower Snoqualmie Falls. It was shortly after some pretty substantial rain had fallen in the area, so the water was really pouring down the falls and was quite a stark contrast to a few weeks earlier when the water level was the lowest I had ever seen it. These two even brought along their ornate blue and gold sherwani for the session, which was a lot of fun to capture and great to incorporate A’s Indian cultural background as well. And they brought crowns as well! I’m really looking forward to capturing their wedding next summer – I love capturing the excitement as families from different cultures come together for a wedding!

If you’ve never been to the Snoqualmie River after a rainstorm (particularly a warm late winter or early spring rain storm that sends a massive amount of melting snow down), I highly recommend visiting then. It is really quite something to see so much water pouring out with such tremendous force! Thankfully, the water level was only a little high for this time of year, so we were able to get in there next to the falls and found some great spots, along with some beautiful rainforest scenes on the way hiking in. And let me just say that these two are absolutely adorable! It was so much fun capturing them laughing and having fun together!

After Snoqualmie Falls, we took the short drive up to Snoqualmie Pass for a more mountainous feel and they changed into black suits and bowties. The clouds and fog made for some amazing light and the even parted enough to reveal the snow-covered peaks. And with virtually no wind, the water was like glass!

Thank you both for the absolutely amazing adventure engagement session! I had a wonderful time with you and can’t wait to photograph your wedding as well! Congratulations to both of you and enjoy a sneak peek at a few of the many highlights!
