Let’s just be realistic: COVID has wrenched A LOT of plans this year. But Sarah and Allen didn’t let the changes get them down and in a whirlwind pivot, they married anyway. Their last minute elopement in his sister’s gorgeous Olalla backyard is what every backyard elopement strives for. In less than two weeks, with…
When you’re choosing your wedding day kicks, it’s easy to fall for the sparkly, super spiky heels. But for Mckenzie, comfort was key and she went with an awesome pair of taupe cowboy boots. One would think that there would be more brides in cowboy boots at Brookstom Creek, but that’s surprisingly not the case….
Would you imagine for a moment, walking into your wedding venue on a bright sunny day, the cool breeze brushing your hair from your face, and the sound of falling water greeting you. Wonderfully pleasant isn’t it? This is the exact scene that greeted us when we arrived for Miranda and Wayne’s rustic chic Brookstom…
Over the river and through the woods, to the Best Western Silverdale Beachside Inn. This beautiful color infused wedding was an honor to shoot, and one I’ll never forget!

These adorable lovebirds tied the knot in a beautiful October wedding where their high school teacher officiated their wedding. Yes, you…
