Vaughn Washington Wedding Photography

Near Gig Harbor, this intimate wedding took place at a stunning waterfront home, making it the perfect backdrop for their romantic celebration.


A Scenic Start at the Waterfront

The couple chose to exchange their vows right on the water’s edge, surrounded by family and friends. The soft sounds of the waves and the gentle breeze was a perfect day in Vaughn Washington. 


The Perfect Bubble Send-Off

One of the highlights of this elopement was the unique bubble send-off. After the ceremony, guests gathered by the water with bubble wands in hand, creating a whimsical farewell as the couple boarded their boat. The bubbles shimmered in the sunlight, adding an enchanting touch to this special moment. 


Sunset Photos on the Water

After their send-off, we took advantage of the stunning sunset over the water. The couple and I hopped onto their boat for an intimate photo session on the water. With the vibrant colors of the sunset reflecting off the surface, moments like these remind me why I love my job.
