An Unforgettable Engagement Session at Artist Point with Alana and Zach


Nestled in the heart of the North Cascades, Artist Point is one of the most breathtaking locations in Washington state, offering panoramic views of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. It’s a dream setting for any photographer, and when Alana and Zach decided on this spot for their engagement session, I couldn’t wait to make it happen.


Alana and Zach are the kind of couple who light up any room—or in this case, any mountainside. Their energy and chemistry were contagious, and they brought their adventurous spirits to every moment of the shoot. From the minute we met up, their playful banter and infectious laughter made it clear this session would be something special.


We began by exploring the alpine trails at Artist Point, surrounded by dramatic snow-capped peaks and vibrant late-summer greenery. Alana and Zach’s love for fun shone through as they joked, laughed, and even broke out a few silly dance moves. As we hiked, they shared stories about their favorite Friday night activities—pickleball games with friends followed by a stop at a local brewery. Their laid-back vibe and deep connection were the perfect fit for this stunning mountain setting.


As the evening wore on, the sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. We paused to soak in the moment, and it was absolutely magical. Alana and Zach stood against the backdrop of the glowing peaks, their silhouettes framed by the vibrant sunset. These are the kinds of moments you dream about as a photographer—raw, real, and breathtakingly beautiful.


This session wasn’t just about the incredible landscapes (though Artist Point delivered in every way). It was about capturing Alana and Zach’s love story—the big, bold moments and the quiet, tender ones in between. They are a couple who truly embody joy and connection, and it was such an honor to photograph this special time in their lives.
