Texas couple Bradley and Shawn flew to Washington for a combination elopement and honeymoon. With a joint goal to visit every national park, they knew they had to get married in one. Their ceremony took place in May at Olympic National Park against a backdrop of snowcapped peaks.
The day began with a 2-mile hike to the ceremony location. Bradley and Shawn then got ready together at the top. A spring wedding in the mountains can be a bit unpredictable. After the ceremony, some windy weather started to roll in, so the couple did a quick champagne toast and a few portraits before heading back down. They then went to a lower location for more photos. By afternoon, they had made it to the coast–Rialto Beach to be exact. There, they read letters from their family, gave each other gifts, and feasted on cake and champagne.
