Snoqualmie Pass Engagement Photos at Franklin Falls

Before I can share specifics about these dreamy Snoqualmie Pass engagement photos at Franklin Falls, I have to brag on the couples I get to work with! I am fully convinced that I have met and continue to meet the coolest humans on planet Earth. Seriously! I feel so lucky every single day that I get to do what I do. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to join you on your adventures.

Okay! Now I can share the story of one of those incredible couples I was just talking about. I first met Adri and Andrew in Seattle for pizza in Capitol Hill (they knew my love language is food!). Instantly, I knew this couple was so rad. They taught be all about music festivals and shared more about their love story. I was instantly their biggest fan, and I was so grateful that they wanted me to photograph their Snoqualmie Pass engagement photos and wedding day next summer.

On the day of their engagement photos, I met up with Adri and Andrew at the trailhead (snacks ready to go!) in Snoqualmie National Forest. We started our adventure hiking through the forest. I love taking photos under the forest canopy during golden hour because there are pockets of radiant sunlight that peak through to the forest floor. Adri’s dress was made with gorgeous material that caught the sunlight and moved so fluidly with the wind.

After we made our way through the forest, we found the waterfall at the end of the rainbow (no, literally; there was a rainbow at the waterfall!). This 70-foot waterfall was showing off for Adri and Andrew’s Snoqualmie Pass engagement photos, and they were such troopers about how intense the waterfall was this day. My number one priority as an adventure wedding and elopement photographer is to make sure my couples feel comfortable, safe and confident during their photos. So, I’m always sure to listen to my couples’ needs and what they’re envisioning for their adventurous engagement session.

Andrew had mentioned he wanted engagement photos at an overlook in Snoqualmie Pass. So, I location scouted prior to their engagement photos, and found this stunning view. We caught the sun just as it was dipping behind the mountains. One of my favorite things about Snoqualmie Pass is the wide range of landscapes you can find. Whether it’s a mountaintop overlook, moody forest floor, serene alpine lake or rushing waterfall, this Washington gem-of-a-forest has it all.

Why Snoqualmie Pass is the Perfect Spot for your Engagement Photos

When I meet with my clients, I always ask for what their envisioning their locations to be (for example: do they want to hike to an epic overlook or drive up to an alpine lake?). After I have a better idea for what the couple is envisioning, I’m able to send my recommendations. Snoqualmie Pass is quite the Pacific Northwest gem, and I frequently recommend it to my couples because of its diverse landscapes and hidden treasures.

    Hello, I am Lorie Chapman and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 7 years. Looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until the Doctors in Alabama told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF( In Vitro Fertilization). Months after my IVF nothing progressed and my situation became worse that my partner had already had plans or getting married to another woman which made me sort help in spell casters. I read a testimony about Doctor Odunga how he had helped so many women with pregnancy and fertility problems. Of all options tried, I contacted this spell caster at his email (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com). I am happy I am now a mother of twins. A boy and a girl. For over 7 years of marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone’s life and make the person get help from a good spell caster that is why I put up this testimony on this website for you. Doctor Odunga’s email is (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) Once you contact him, he will help you fast
