An intimate day during the turn of seasons

Dominiqe & Tyler had their intimate elopement in lake October, as the winter chill starts to take over what’s left of fall. Despite a major snowstorm leading up to their day, we got lucky with 3 days of sun that melted everything enough for us to have the perfect day we planned. Mt Rainier truly takes your breath away the first time you see it and exploring this park with these two for the first time was truly special.

These two started their day getting ready in an a-frame cabin, a quite and peaceful time as they got ready separately and then had a first look on the back porch. After a few pictures with their dog, we headed into the park to explore, have a picnic and end the day with vows at the peak of the park. Here’s a peak into their gallery!
