Priscilla + Avery | Whidbey Island Elopement

Drenched in golden winter light, and perched above the Salish Sea in a 120 year old military fort, Priscilla and Avery became husband and wife. Although Covid required pivoting from their original wedding plans, these two gathered with 3 of their closest friends (2 as witnesses and 1 as an officiant) and were married on a jaw-droppingly beautiful Whidbey Island Day. We spent the evening exploring the fort, and taking narrow dirt paths down to the ocean where they watched seagulls dive and ferries pass by. The entire experience was just magic; so unique, relaxed, joyful, and stunning. This is certainly a wedding day I’ll remember forever, and I am so grateful to have had the experience to work with these two wonderful humans.

Joining two lives together in marriage is always the start of an adventure, but when the military is involved, it's taken to a whole other level where flexibility, patience and a good sense of humor is always needed. I was originally scheduled to photograph Claire & Carl's off-island wedding late this October,

Marrying into the military means a life full of unpredictability, flexibility and adventure! And Ryan and Abby's new life together will be no exception! Not only is Ryan getting deployed with the Navy, but Abby will soon be joining him to begin their journey as husband and wife stationed in JAPAN! I met this darling couple Friday morning at Deception Pass where they had a private and beautiful elopement ceremony. They had an intimate vow exchange married by a family friend, and then walked the beaches through the pacific mist as a newly married couple.
