Mt Rainier Elopement – Carson + Keisha

It seems that I can’t get enough of Mt. Rainier. I feel like I am constantly being pulled towards it like I’m caught in its tractor beam. Which I suppose is a good problem to have, Tahoma is mystical and always a sight for sore eyes. That why I was stoked when Keisha and Carson approached me for their Mt Rainier elopement. What better place to get hitched?

We met up on a dreary morning at the Stonecreek Lodge near the Nisqually entrance to the park. Surprisingly when I arrived there was a deer walking around the grounds acting like he owned the place, not phased by visitors in the slightest. Keisha got ready for the day at Stonecreek and her mother helped her into her dress. A Seahawk fan, Keisha was repping her team with her shoes. Once Carson arrived we were ready to get to work. We shot the first look on the bank of the Nisqually River and then headed off into the park to capture their ceremony.

The ceremony was held on the shore of Reflection Lake, Rainier’s top obscured by the low flying clouds. After the ceremony we made our way up to Paradise Lodge and back down in our effort to get some killer wedding photos. Speaking of killer, we also ran into A BEAR and some cubs while we were at Paradise. I don’t think my newlyweds are going to forget that moment for the rest of their lives.
