Rattlesnake Lake Engagement

Rattlesnake Lake Engagement.

"Hannah & Nathan are the kind of couple that you can tell within minutes of meeting them that they are completely and utterly head over heels for each other.

They met in college at Northwest University as RAs serving on adjacent floors, and Hannah remembers saying to a friend, "Wow! I had no idea that he was so cute!" after meeting Nathan for the first time. Over the course of the school year, they saw each other at their best and worst as they led students together, and naturally, they began to fall for each other - Hannah for Nathan because of his constant encouragement to turn to God, and Nathan for Hannah because of her humility and compassion for others.

Rattlesnake Lake/Rattlesnake Ledge, in the North Bend area of Washington, was the perfect backdrop to display the couple's love of the outdoors. Hannah, being the daughter of a professional fisherman, spent much of her childhood on lakes, beaches, and rivers, and has a special connection to water. She also said that the mountains reflect Nathan's strong & adventurous character.

The four mile hike was easily worth the stunning views that we were met with at the top, and we all agreed that it was an incredible way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Hannah & Nathan will be saying their nuptials in late August this year at Kitsap Memorial State Park on the Hood Canal, and I could not be more excited to celebrate with this sweet couple and commemorate what's sure to be an incredible day."
