Romantic Mt. Rainier Bride & Groom Photos | Nathaniel & Reagan

Getting to head up to Mt. Rainier with Nathaniel and Reagan a couple of weeks before their wedding was pure magic. Stepping into the mountains together before the rush of the wedding day gave them space to slow down, breathe, and simply be with one another; and it took so much stress off of their actual wedding day.

Mt. Rainier offered the most breathtaking setting for their bride and groom portraits. Surrounded by towering peaks, soft alpine light, and the quiet stillness of the mountains, their love felt even more intimate and intentional. Getting to capture their connection in a place this beautiful felt incredibly meaningful; like documenting a love that was already steady, deep, and ready for forever.

Taking bride and groom photos before the wedding allowed their session to feel relaxed and editorial, never rushed. Without a timeline pressing in, Nathaniel and Reagan could move naturally, laugh freely, and soak in the moment together. The result was imagery that feels romantic, timeless, and deeply personal.

One of the best parts of pre-wedding portraits is how they transform the wedding day itself. With their photos already complete, Nathaniel and Reagan were able to fully enjoy their celebration; present with their people and focused on what mattered most.

This Mt. Rainier session was more than just photos. It was a quiet, beautiful chapter before the wedding day unfolded; one they’ll carry with them long after the mountains faded into the distance.
