Intimate Wedding at Cornet Bay Retreat Center at Deception Pass
More About this Intimate Wedding at Cornet Bay Retreat Center
H & G reached out to me as they wanted an intimate wedding with their friends and family at Deception Pass State Park and wanted a venue that could accommodate their guests. They chose to have their wedding at Cornet Bay Retreat Center as it was in the perfect location in the park and allowed their loved ones to stay on the property with them!
They wanted a Norse Pagan wedding and boy did they get that! They put an incredible amount of detail into their wedding. From their officiant Jimmy dressed up with a fur shawl, and the fire blazing in the background for their ceremony, everything was thought out.
They did beautiful sneak peeks behind their truck and had an incredible first look with H’s dad where she saw him for the first time ever dressed in his dress blues. We all cried a bit there.
After the ceremony we explored the park, shared some toasts, some tearful moments and lots of dancing before going to their beloved truck and getting some dusk photos. It was the most perfect day.
It’s no secret that Deception Pass is in my top places to elope in Washington as this park is always filled with magic. I had an incredible time photographing this beautiful couple and am so thankful for their trust!

Kind Words From the Couple
“Absolutely highly recommend! Doug did an amazing job capturing our special day and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was able to capture the moment my dad surprised me in his dress blues on both video and in still photography, a moment that I will forever cherish. If you need someone who thinks of the small details, the personal touches, and puts their whole selves into their work, Doug is the one for you.”
