Jacquelyn and Travis set out to have an elopement that perfectly fit their needs, and ended up with a wonderful stress-free wedding in the Olympic National Forest<\/a> that was calm and full of gorgeous moments! Along with their photographer Kandice Breinholt<\/a> and their officiant, Jacquelyn and Travis braved the beautiful terrain of the forest for their emotional waterfall elopement, then explored the coastal areas during their passionate post-ceremony photos. The couple might have kept the details of their wedding as low-key as possible, but they didn’t hold back on fashion: Jacquelyn’s romantic Lillian West<\/a> gown and Travis’s custom groom outfit were at once elegant and effortless, and we can’t get enough of their dog’s greenery collar from Thatch Floral<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The most important aspect when planning our elopement was having a calm, relaxing day and making sure we didn’t lose sight of the day really meant to us.<\/em><\/p>\n

We chose our wedding vibe based on the idea that we weren’t putting on a show for anyone other than ourselves. We wanted it to be very natural, romantic and overall laid back and fun. We wanted to feel like we were a part of nature and not stress the details too much — but to just do what felt natural.<\/em><\/p>\n

We chose our venue because it was remote, spontaneous and we felt at home in the calming forrest. Keep focused on what matters…. each other. Stressing doesn’t actually help you plan!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had a wedding photographer (Kandice) and videographer (Zach) and it couldn’t have been easier. What I loved about both of them was they were super easy going about us not having a timeline or set plan. I loved that they were both up for an adventure and willing to travel with us and capture the day.<\/em><\/p>\n

From the groom: As someone who feels unnatural posing for photographs, it was as good as it gets. I felt very natural and the whole process was very easy going. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.<\/em><\/p>\n
