Aralani Photography

What an evening. I felt that magical photographer's tingle of "AHHHHH!THATLIGHT!" when we walked up to the water, and couldn't stop grinning in mad delight as these two beautiful women made an already stunning mountain landscape feel even more fleeting and extraordinary. For a few perfect minutes, the wind died, the clouds floated merrily in the blue sky, and Amy and Jen snuggled in the sunlight. As we walked away, the wind picked up and the light faded—-and we knew we’d witnessed something special.

Today, I got fabulous news: chosen as one of 30 from over 3,000 submissions, this moment is now a part of the World's Best Wedding Photos' 2025 Signature Collection. Go Amy & Jen!

Wandering the mountains of Washington on a glorious August day, Amy, Jen and their wedding posse encountered all manner of beauty. From quiet car moments winding up hill roads, to stone steps leading to fairytale lakes, to snuggles and dance spins, and even traveling under the raised trekking poles of some celebratory hikers, the day was unforgettable from start to finish. Congratulations to these two amazing women!
