Since living in the Pacific Northwest, I have found that it’s known for its luscious greenery, breathtaking mountainscapes, and expansive beaches, welcoming many visitors to experience the area’s beauty every year! As a PNW elopement photographer, I highly suggest you elope in the PNW! You may have felt the call to plan a destination event throughout your wedding planning. Somewhere you’ve always wanted to go, perhaps somewhere meaningful in your relationship, or you want to go on an adventure together! Whatever the reason, let me suggest the Pacific Northwest be added to your list of top spots. Throughout the blog, we’ll discuss five signs that may point you here for your big day!!
Moody Location
If you’re considering an elopement and looking for a moody location with stunning views and great vibes – elope in the PNW. While the weather is consistent with some rain, the moody scenery allows for epic photos and an incredible ceremony. Throughout the Pacific Northwest and specifically Washington, where I live, you’ll be able to find various locations that fit any wedding theme. Whether you’re looking for a forest woodland location, a moody beach, or even a mountaintop view – we’ve got you covered!
Beach, But Make It Cool When You Elope in the PNW
The temperate climate of the PNW makes for cooler beaches than most other places in the U.S. If this is your vibe, then a beach elopement in the PNW is definitely for you! You’ll get the best of both worlds with colder weather but still being on the beach! While visiting the area, consider Alki Beach for your elopement! You’ll find miles of sandy beaches throughout the area, a replica of the Statue of Liberty, and a lighthouse. Not only will the cool weather beach make for an incredibly epic elopement ceremony, but the pictures will be stunning!
Destination Feel Without Going Too Far
Throughout wedding planning, maybe you realized that traveling too far is out of the budget. But if you elope in the PNW, it doesn’t have to be! Get the destination feel without going too far, allowing for happier wallets and guests you invite. As previously mentioned, the vast scenery throughout the area allows for such a diverse feel while staying close to home. You can find just the spot for your dream wedding day.
Love Adventure? Elope in the PNW
Lastly, you both love adventure. If you and your partner love adventure and are always up for trying new things – elope in the PNW. One of my favorite things about living here is the incredible opportunity for new experiences in nature. The West Coast is filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences in breathtaking locations.
Whether you opt for a local wedding or elope in the PNW, it will be an absolute dream!
