Maribelle and Leon’s wedding day was wonderfully adventurous, thoughtful, and completely them. Their story began when Leon came to the U.S. from Scotland on a soccer scholarship and met Maribel in college. When it came time to plan their wedding, they knew exactly where they wanted to celebrate. They dreamed of a North Cascades wedding, surrounded by loved ones and some of the most unreal mountain views in Washington.
🌲 One thing I’m reminded of constantly with adventure weddings is how important it is to stay flexible. Our original hike plan was Blue Lake, but the day before confirmed that it was still completely covered in snow.
🥾 I texted Maribel and Leon that day, explained the situation, and they basically told me, “We trust you. Make the call.” That kind of trust means SO much to me, and I’m so glad we changed plans. Instead of worrying about snow and gear, we got to hike Rainy Lake in beautiful sunshine and actually enjoy the morning.
🏔️ From their beautiful venue at the Après Cabin where we had an intimate dinner and later dancing to celebrating with friends and family overlooking Liberty Bell rock during the ceremony, it was such a perfect day.
💍 I absolutely loved watching these beautiful people prioritize fun and flexibility throughout their day. Leon’s tartan suit, changing our hiking plans at the last minute, and eating pizza with their favorite people…every detail was carefree and full of joy. It felt so personal, relaxed, and effortlessly adventurous. It was such an honor to capture it all!
