Waterfall Adventure Engagement | Gina + Wayne
It’s not a secret that my favorite couples are those who aren’t “boxed in” by traditions. So it stands to reason that this waterfall adventure chasing couple instantly became my new best friends this weekend. When Gina first contacted me, she wasn’t intimidated by my growing family. It didn’t even phase her, that I would be spending this wedding season with a nanny in tow. (This is only one small reason my couples are THE BEST COUPLES EVER!)
While it’s pretty typical for couples to book me 12-18 months in advance, Gina booked about 6 months out. Usually this means we’d skip the engagement session, but I was itching to do something different. When I proposed the idea of the Adventure Engagement session, Gina + Wayne jumped on board. Turned out, they love to pack up their Jeep (which is freakin badass I might add) and pick a direction to find amazing areas. That’s some serious #couplesgoals right there!
Washington Waterfall Adventure
Waterfalls are Gina’s favorite and she mentioned being able to sit there for hours just listening and watching the water. So I set to research some of the prettiest waterfalls in Washington. I found a short list and they picked out two with pretty easy hikes for their waterfall adventure engagement.
The first stop took us to a “small” waterfall outside Brinnon. The photos on this hike’s Alltrails page are obviously misleading. Then again, so was the “hike”. I felt a little silly when I’d quoted 45-90 minutes for hiking in, photos along the way and hiking back out. Especially when the hike in was maybe 500 feet. It was totally worth it though and the waterfall was AMAZEBALLS.
Of course, with the seriously short “hike” (I’m not even sure you could call it that) we definitely had time to make the 2 hour trek to the next waterfall. This one was up outside of Port Angeles, and the trail up to it was paved. Again, not much of a hike, but the waterfall was worth it.
Bonding at it’s finest
Even though both sessions were pretty short when compared to what I had in mind, it was a complete blast getting to know Gina + Wayne. Gina and I bonded over our mutual love for Black Rifle Coffee. Wayne and Jake spent hours talking about their Jeep and other manly car stuff. I am so excited to watch these two tie the knot. They’re incredible together and make such a wonderful couple.
