Alice & John's Intimate Sunset Elopement at Artist Point
Field Notes: Mt. Baker Wilderness, August 2024
A+J enjoyed a beautiful summer evening in the Mt. Baker Wilderness in Washington’s North Cascades. They stayed at one of my favorite Airbnbs nearby (Greybird Retreat) and helped each other get ready — and J pulled out his guitar for a lovely serenade. After that we drove up into the mountains for a little picnic, some quiet vows, and a whole lotta views. They couldn’t have asked for better weather up in the mountains, clear for miles in every direction, even well after the sun set.
Artist Point is such a favorite spot of ours for an intimate adventure elopement—it’s shockingly beautiful, and for the most part, easy to get to. If you want to hike into the wilderness, you totally can, or you can take it easy and enjoy incredible views right off the road. It might be crowded sometimes, but there’s plenty of room up there to spare and we know all the good spots and trails where you can avoid most of the summer crowds. Plus… stay out a little later for some serene stargazing 🌠
