Magic Moments


Justin and Melissa decided to elope with a handful of family and friends in attendance at the stunning Lake Crescent in Washington. We had incredible weather and these two love each other so much, it was amazing to be part of their day. My favorite part of this day was the fact that they got married on a public dock that you can't technically reserve for a ceremony. This was early September, so it was warm enough that people were there swimming, jumping off the dock, taking selfies, you name it. But Justin and Melissa's family kindly asked people to make space for just a few minutes for their ceremony and not only did everyone happily move, a huge crowd sat quietly on the beach during their ceremony and cheered at the end when they shared their first kiss as husband and wife. It was such a special moment and set us up for just the best day. Enjoy!
