Ashley + Shane Wed | Bellingham, WA

I had the pleasure of first meeting Ashley last year when she as beginning to plan her wedding. They had this AMAZING plan of eloping on Mount Rainier. Then COVID happened.

Luckily, Ashley was already in the elopement planning mode. So with some last minute modifications to our location, they were still able to have the small, intimate ceremony they had hoped for with a different backdrop. I drove to Bellingham to capture their First Look and couples shots at Whatcom Falls Park and then we caravanned to a friend’s home for an intimate ceremony on their pier.

A unique situation, Ashley and Shane kept their personal vows to themselves before doing standard vows in front of their friends. This was just a beautiful moment. To see their reactions as they spoke candidly with each other in private making their promises to each other.

Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness!
