Smoky Mt. Baker Elopement
When a shoot is planned at your favorite place in Washington, you know it's going to be good no matter what. The section of the North Cascades near Mt. Baker is somewhere I look forward to visiting every summer/fall. After an epic autumn portrait session, I knew I wanted to shoot a couple here at the soonest opportunity.
That came in the form of this styled elopement with Ally and Garrett. Two of the most chill and fun people I've had the pleasure of spending time with this summer. We had some of the best conversations talking about our Enneagram styles during the long car ride. As we predicted, the heavy smoke from wildfires diminished the usually bold mountain views. But we had a blast regardless and I had to steal a bunch of great new bluesy music from Garrett into a new playlist I appropriately named "Smoky Aftertaste". We were all happy about how the photos turned out and several of them have already been shared on popular feature accounts such as PNWedding and Adventurousstorytellers.
Huge thank you to Ally, Garrett, and all the vendors that participated in making this styled shoot such a great one! Check them out and give them a follow!

Hey, I’m Warren and this is my why behind everything I do!
I believe this is where it all starts and is at the heart of everything, so let me tell you. I have a soft spot for sentimentality and I think love is awesome. I’m so grateful that I discovered photography early in life because I’ve been able to document my own journey in a creative fashion. For that reason, I have a strong passion for giving that same experience to others and take great pride in getting the responsibility of documenting their stories. Each picture has a story or feeling behind it and I love to capture that novelty. Arresting those moments in time allows us to remember and feel more intensely. I know how much I value that and enjoy passing that along to others through photography. I would love to be a part of telling your story.
