Windy Anniversary Session at Deception Pass, WA

This windy Deception Pass anniversary session was exactly what I needed after months of quarantine. The fresh air and stunning scenery of Deception Pass were the perfect backdrop for Lauren and Allan’s anniversary portraits. Lauren and her husband, Allan, reached out to me during their travels through Washington, eager to commemorate their first anniversary. As wedding photographers themselves, they wanted a session that captured their love and connection amidst the beauty of Deception Pass.

Their photography work is absolutely stunning, and I felt honored to document their Deception Pass anniversary session. They stayed at Deception Pass, a location known for its dramatic coastal views, which added magic to the session. Allan was preparing to return home to New Mexico for work, while Lauren continued her journey documenting couples. As someone who understands the difficulty of long separations from a partner, I knew how meaningful these moments were. This Deception Pass anniversary session became an important way for them to capture their love before being apart.

Despite the windy conditions, we embraced the elements, and the energy of the session was lively and full of laughter. The wind swept through their hair, adding a sense of wildness to the images that felt perfectly in tune with the natural beauty of Deception Pass. Every moment spent capturing their love was a reminder of why I love this work so much.

Being able to stretch my creative muscles again with this Deception Pass anniversary session felt incredible. It’s these moments—when love, nature, and creativity come together—that make photography so fulfilling. If you’re ready to capture your own special memories at a location like Deception Pass, I’d love to connect with you. Reach out, and let’s explore the beauty of Washington together!
