Mt Rainier Bridal Session — Lyndsey Greene Photography

Imagine standing on a rugged peak, the wind gently tugging at your hair as you gaze out at the breathtaking sight of Mt. Rainier in the distance. The sun slowly sinking below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over everything it touches. This was the scene that Andrea and Anthony chose for their post-wedding bridal session, and I was lucky enough to be the one to capture it all.

As I watched these two newlyweds laugh and twirl around in front of my camera, it was clear that their love was something special. It was evident in the way they held each other close, whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears as the sun dipped below the mountain peaks. The love and joy that radiated from them was truly a sight to behold.

But what struck me the most about Andrea and Anthony was the way they embraced the non-traditional nature of their bridal session. Instead of opting for a traditional indoor shoot, they chose to take their celebration to the great outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of nature. It was a decision that spoke volumes about their adventurous spirits and their desire to create memories that were as unique as they were.

As we hiked through the mountains, finding hidden spots with stunning backdrops, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. It was as if I was capturing a moment frozen in time, a moment that would be cherished for years to come. And knowing that I had played a small part in preserving that moment for Andrea and Anthony was a feeling unlike any other.

In the world of photography, there are countless ways to capture moments. But there's something truly special about capturing a love as authentic and genuine as the one between Andrea and Anthony. It's moments like these that remind me why I do what I do – to capture snippets of time that tell a story, to freeze moments of joy and love in a single frame.

So here's to Andrea and Anthony, and to all the couples out there who choose to celebrate their love in their own unique and intentional way. May your love be as wholesome as a mountain breeze, as honest as the setting sun, and as enduring as the peaks of Mt. Rainier. And may your memories be as timeless and beautiful as the images we captured on that unforgettable day.
