Kelly and Alan’s Ruby Beach elopement reminds me of why I love elopements so much. They wanted to keep it very simple, focusing on their story, while taking in the beautiful Olympic National Park coastline. We did just that and ended their day with the most dreamy of sunsets on the beach!

Ruby Beach is one of my favorite Washington coast beaches. It’s pretty popular and well known with lots of daily visitors. If you’ll scroll through the photos, there’s no question why. The driftwood and sea stacks make it unique, and depending on the tide and weather, it always looks a little bit different! It’s one of many locations you should check out if you find yourself on the Washington Coast and Olympic National Park!

A Few Words From the Bride on Her Elopement Experience

Kelly has the sweetest soul and has sent me some of the nicest emails I’ve read to date. I loved being able to document their special day. Even more than that, I truly love the fact that I was able to positively impact their entire experience. This is so much more than just being hired for a job.

A few words from Kelly: “I appreciate how personable you are, as it was a true pleasure working with you! I just wanted to thank you again for saving our elopement. Without your assertive support, we probably would have been married in the parking lot next to the restrooms (haha).

Sal with Sal Floral Design did such a beautiful job with Kelly and Kiley’s bouquets and Kelly’s crown. The simplicity, yet elegance and colors were perfect for the beach, and went so well with both of their dresses too!












What’s better than twirling around in a beautiful dress under the most beautiful sunset?!
