engagements & proposals in olympic national park

A Meaningful Way to Celebrate (or Begin) Your Story

Olympic National Park is an incredible place to celebrate your relationship - whether you’re planning a surprise proposal, marking an engagement, or simply wanting photos that reflect your love for wild places.

From mossy rainforest trails and rugged coastline to alpine views and quiet overlooks, Olympic offers endless possibilities for moments that feel intimate, intentional, and deeply connected to place.

I help couples plan relaxed, thoughtful engagement sessions and proposals in Olympic National Park with local insight, calm guidance, and genuine excitement for being out there with you.

Why Olympic National Park is so special for engagements & proposals

Olympic National Park is one of the most diverse landscapes in the country. In a single day, you can experience rainforest, mountains, waterfalls, and coastline, which means your session or proposal can feel uniquely yours.

It’s especially perfect if you:
  • love national parks, hiking, camping, and exploring
  • want photos that feel natural and unposed
  • value experience just as much as the images
  • are drawn to quieter, more meaningful moments

Whether you’re envisioning something adventurous or something simple and scenic, Olympic has room for both.

Planning a Proposal in Olympic National Park

If you’re planning a proposal, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I help with choosing a meaningful location based on accessibility, season, and privacy, timing your proposal for the best light and conditions, talking through logistics so everything feels smooth and stress-free, being discreet when needed (and celebratory when the moment happens!)

My goal is to help you feel confident and excited so you can stay fully present when the moment arrives.

Engagement Sessions That Feel Like an Experience

Engagement sessions in Olympic National Park are less about posing and more about being together in a place you love.

Some sessions are slow and quiet. Others involve hiking, wandering the beach, or exploring a favorite trail. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, follow the light, and let the experience unfold naturally.

You don’t need to be “good in front of the camera.” I’ll guide gently when needed and give you space to just be yourselves.

You don’t need a detailed plan to get started. Most couples don’t.

We’ll begin by talking about what kind of experience you’re hoping for and how you want it to feel. From there, I’ll help you choose a location, talk through timing, and shape something that feels intentional and easy.

On the day of your session or proposal, my role is to keep things feeling calm, joyful, and grounded so you can focus on the moment and the place you’re in.

What working together looks like

Olympic National Park is where I spend a lot of my time hiking, exploring, and photographing these landscapes throughout the year. Because I’m local, I can help you navigate things like seasonal access, weather patterns, crowd considerations, and quieter corners of the park.

That local insight helps your session or proposal feel thoughtful, well-timed, and true to the place without unnecessary stress.

Local Knowledge matters
