Emerald Ferns and Silvery Cascades | Elopement in the Oregon Wilderness

November 01, 2020 by Ara R. in Adventure Elopements, Elopements

"Two people in love,
alone,
isolated from the world,
that's beautiful."
– Milan Kundera

Hiking into the wilderness on a beautiful June afternoon, the vibrant forest surrounding us, we found our way to the base of a waterfall in the middle of nowhere.  Its silvery cascade felt so welcoming on the hot day, and we had the entire place to ourselves as Kelcy and Vince exchanged their vows.  A toast was made, cupcakes were noshed, a puppy was scritched, and the day was perfect.

I loved how Vince couldn’t stop asking for tissues, Kelcy stood on a small rock to get a little closer to Vince’s height during the ceremony, how much love and thought were put into the words they said to each other, the post-ceremony snuggles, the rich green ferns, and all the beauty we saw during this adventure.
