The Pacific Northwest has a way of making everything feel more romantic. Misty mountains, golden-hour coastlines, forests that seem to belong to another century. After years of photographing couples across Washington and Oregon, I’ve come back to the same locations over and over, not because they’re convenient, but because they’re genuinely extraordinary. Here are the best engagement session locations in the Pacific Northwest, curated from my own work with real couples in love.
