Involving Loved Ones In This Skamania Lodge Elopement<\/span><\/h2>\n

We prioritized the involvement of our loved ones<\/span><\/a> in our elopement. After the ceremony, we set aside time to chat with family on zoom. We also chose to hold our own private reception with just ourselves in a nearby modern and semi-luxurious “treehouse” at Skamania Lodge. We spent the night eating, drinking, and dancing late into the night. Secluded from the world, we kept the music loud, drinks flowing, and the party going. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Hiring Top-Notch Wedding Vendors <\/span><\/h2>\n

We can’t stress the importance of hiring trusted wedding professionals<\/span><\/a>, like our photographer. We loved working with our Lukas. After quite a bit of research, we chose to work with him because of his aesthetic and unique ability to bring out the moody colors of the Pacific Northwest. His ability to show a personal connection with couples in his work was also a selling point for us. He made our photo session easy, seamless, and he engaged with us—which made it seem like he was an old friend. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
