2-Day LGBTQ Micro Wedding
When Jessica and Kyrstin reached out to plan their multi-day micro wedding in the breathtaking Olympic National Park, I knew their weekend would be nothing short of extraordinary. From misty mountain vistas to intimate moments by the ocean, their celebration was a true reflection of their love and connection.
Jessica & Kyrstin’s Multi Day Micro Wedding
Day 1: Olympic National Park Mountain Magic
We kicked off the weekend on Friday evening, meeting at a mountain top location within Olympic National Park. The couple planned a special first look and sunset photo session, complete with their beloved truck as a backdrop. As the fog rolled in and out of the mountains, it created a dreamy and surreal atmosphere that felt like stepping into another world. Jessica and Kyrstin embraced the moment, and the ever-changing clouds gave us some of the most stunning and dynamic photos of the year. The interplay of light, mist, and their joyful energy made for an unforgettable start to their wedding weekend.
Day 2: Agate Beach Lodge Micro Wedding
Saturday unfolded at a dreamy pace as Jessica and Kyrstin celebrated their love at Agate Beach Lodge, a stunning A-frame retreat perched near Olympic National Park. The lodge, with its cozy interiors and breathtaking views of rugged cliffs and the Pacific Ocean, set the perfect stage for an intimate and heartfelt gathering.
The morning was relaxed, filled with quiet anticipation as Jessica and Kyrstin got ready alongside their closest friends and family. Before the ceremony, they shared a tender second look on the cliffs, the vast ocean stretching endlessly behind them. The love and excitement in their eyes said everything—this was their moment, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
A Ceremony by the Sea
With waves crashing in the distance, Jessica and Kyrstin exchanged vows in an emotional ceremony surrounded by their loved ones. Every word, every glance, and every tear shed was a testament to the deep connection they share. As they walked away hand in hand, they broke into song, singing their favorite tune—a moment so purely them, filled with laughter and love.
An Evening of Love & Laughter
The celebration continued with an incredible feast, thoughtfully crafted to bring everyone together around the table. Inside the lodge, candlelight flickered as heartfelt toasts were shared, laughter echoed through the space, and the warmth of their love story filled every corner.
As the sun dipped toward the horizon, Jessica and Kyrstin stepped onto the beach for their first dance. The golden light wrapped around them like a warm embrace, and their two little ones joined in for a few unforgettable family moments in the sand. It was pure magic—the kind of scene you want to bottle up and keep forever.
A Sparkling Send-Off
As the night wound down, guests gathered outside, sparklers in hand, sending Jessica and Kyrstin off in a glow of golden light and joyful cheers. The evening ended around the fire pit, where stories were shared, and the final moments of this incredible weekend were savored.
Jessica and Kyrstin’s micro wedding at Agate Beach Lodge was more than just a celebration—it was a true reflection of their love, their family, and their adventurous spirits. From the misty cliffs to the ocean breeze, every detail felt like an extension of their story. Capturing these moments was an absolute honor, and I’ll never forget the joy and magic of this day.
