Amy and James wanted to chase the best light for their Washington mountain biking elopement at Mount Rainier. They woke up at 2 AM, met their photographer at the trailhead by 3 AM, and trekked one of Mount Rainier's most beautiful trails.
Sunrise Hike and Ceremony
While on their adventure, they set up a pop-up camper, staked it to the ground, and changed into their wedding attire. The mountain turned bright pink during sunrise while they shared their vows. They had the whole place to themselves during their ceremony, first dance, and portraits. Amy wasn’t the biggest fan of wearing her wedding dress for longer than was necessary, so she changed out of her dress before they hiked back to the trailhead. They hiked back down the trail and set up a breakfast picnic at one of the picnic areas by the Sunrise Visitor Center. They shared some coffee, pastries, and cake!
Amy and James also wanted to take photos of something they enjoy doing together: mountain biking! They got back in their car and drove a few minutes down the mountain where they took out their mountain bikes and biked along some nearby trails. It was an incredible day!
These two showed that you can do whatever you want for your wedding day. If that means only wearing your dress for 15 minutes because that is not your style, then do just that! Or if that means getting dirty instead and playing around with your bikes, that is perfect! The day is truly about YOU.
