Having lived in California for so long, moving to Washington and beginning my wedding journey years ago was amazing because of all the new places I got to shoot! Washington is so incredibly diverse. And, even Mt. Rainier itself has such a varying terrain that makes it so much fun for engagement shoots. When some of my dear friends and colleagues asked me to do a Mt. Rainier engagement shoot for them, I immediately said yes.
Embracing Mt. Rainier’s Ever-Changing Beauty
One of the reasons I adore shooting at Mt. Rainier is its unparalleled and diverse terrain. However, when planning a Mt. Rainier engagement shoot, it’s essential to keep an eye on the weather. While you’ll see beautiful sunny photos below, check out this blog post of another Mt. Rainier engagement shoot I did showcasing something a little different! The mountain has its own weather system, often differing significantly from nearby towns. But don’t let that discourage you; instead, be ready for the magic that this ever-changing weather brings to your photos.
The Story of David and Austin
David, the owner of Orion Entertainment, specializes in DJ and photobooth services. We had the pleasure of collaborating on numerous weddings before they decided to hire me and my husband, Nathan, from Ochoa Wedding Films, for their own wedding. It is an honor to be a part of their journey. It’s always really special to be asked by fellow vendors to document their day. It means they see not just the value of you as a person but as an artist!
Trust and Transparency during Mt. Rainier Engagement Shoot
During their engagement shoot at Mt. Rainier, we took a pit stop along the trail. As we savored fruit snacks, we delved into discussions about their upcoming wedding plans, what they were yet to plan, and their most anticipated moments. It was during this conversation that we stumbled upon a big rock and christened it the “truth rock.” We realized our shared inclination towards meaningful conversations, diving deeper beyond surface chatter drew us close together. Our connection grew stronger as transparency and trust became the foundation of our interaction. It’s moments like these that truly make my clients’ experiences memorable and special.
Choosing Mt. Rainier as the backdrop for your engagement shoot offers not just breathtaking scenery but also opportunities for deeper connections. If you’re a couple seeking a meaningful and diverse location that echoes the depth of your relationship, Mt. Rainier might just be the perfect canvas for your engagement photos.
