Wild Washington – Wedding Venues in Washington

I went to the Olympic Peninsula, Olympic National Park to look at wedding venues in Washington. I am so excited to share the lush green photos that I took. I have been long inspired by the Pacific North West and have been dying to shoot a wedding in Washington. This time I really only looked at Olympic National Park but I went more recently to check out the North Cascades as a wedding venue in Washington.

The coolest thing about getting married in Olympic National Park is that you don’t have to choose from a list of permitted locations like some of the other National Parks. You can go look around and submit a permit request for the place that you like best. The permit process here is pretty easy. Just stay to areas that aren’t ecologically sensitive and that are open to the public and you should have no trouble getting you wedding permit at Olympic National Park.

Location Considerations

Weather is unpredictable on the coastline. Places might experience rain or weather different that you might anticipate. I say, it’s all good. I love in climate weather, it ads mystery and magic to any wedding photography. I like to let the day be whatever it wants to be and know that there are things outside of my control.
