Ashley and Emily | Washington Arboretum Golden Hour Engagement Session

From Best Friends, to Running Partners, to Lifelong Adventure Buddies

Hold onto your hats- because we're about to dive into a love story that's 11 years in the making, sprinkled with hikes, adventures, and a whole lot of love, after a bit of a slow start. Meet Ashley and Emily – the dynamic duo who've hiked, studied, and adventured their way through life, finally sealing the deal this September at one of their favorite places on the Olympia Peninsula. But first, we celebrated their upcoming nuptials with a golden hour engagement session at the Washington Arboretum in Seattle.

Picture this: a golden evening at the Washington Arboretum, sunlight casting a warm, glowing hue over everything. The air is filled with laughter and a hint of excitement – just like Ashley and Emily. You see, these two don't just walk; they run headfirst into everything life throws at them. And where do they love to run the most? You guessed it – the very place where we captured their engagement magic.

From running partners to adventure buddies, Ashley and Emily have shared miles, smiles, and the occasional "What the fuck?!" moment as they've navigated life together. Their love story has unfolded over long study sessions, early morning jogs, falling in love side-by-side in the back of a Subaru, and the kind of camaraderie that can only be born out of years spent chasing dreams side by side.

And now, after a rollercoaster ride of memories, they're preparing to tie the knot in a way that's as epic as their love story – a beachfront wedding in Kalaloch, Washington. With the sound of waves crashing and their nearest and dearest by their side, they're about to embark on a new chapter filled with even more adventures, hikes, and a whole lot of love.

So, raise your glasses (or your morning coffee, if you're reading this early), and let's toast to Ashley and Emily. Here's to love that's as wild and unpredictable as a hike in uncharted territory. Here's to laughter that echoes through the hills, and to a future that's bound to be as fucking epic as their engagement session.

Cheers to the future, you badass adventurers! 🥂💕
