From the towering forests of Washington to the rugged cliffs of the Oregon Coast, this region provides an unparalleled backdrop for love stories.

But with its beauty comes unpredictability—changing weather, adventurous elopements, and the challenge of capturing real, raw emotions in nature. As a wedding photographer in the PNW, Adina shares insights into embracing the elements, using the moody atmosphere to enhance storytelling, and why PNW wedding photography is all about adventure, authenticity, and connection. She also highlights the supportive creative community of photographers in the region and how they continue to inspire and uplift each other.

Whether you’re a wedding photographer looking for inspiration or a couple dreaming of an epic PNW wedding, this episode will give you a new appreciation for the magic that happens behind the lens.

Key Takeaways:

• The Pacific Northwest is a dream location for wedding photography. Its forests, mountains, beaches, and moody atmosphere create stunning, cinematic images.

• Embrace the weather! Rain, mist, and overcast skies add depth and drama to wedding photos. Instead of fearing the elements, use them to enhance storytelling.
