An Enchanting Engagement Session at Deception Pass with Annaleise and Luke


Nestled about 1.5 hours from Seattle, Deception Pass is a magical destination that perfectly blends rugged coastal beauty with serene natural landscapes. When Annaleise and Luke chose this breathtaking location for their engagement shoot, I knew we were in for an unforgettable session.


We started the shoot beneath the iconic Deception Pass Bridge on Pass Island. The towering structure above, framed by dramatic cliffs and lush greenery, set the tone for an adventurous and romantic vibe. Annaleise and Luke were naturals in front of the camera—laughing, exploring, and showing off their undeniable chemistry. Their connection made capturing authentic and intimate moments a breeze.


Afterward, we made our way to West Point Beach, a hidden gem within the park. As the sun dipped lower on the horizon, we were treated to an unreal golden-hour glow. The beach, with its rugged shoreline and tranquil waters, provided the perfect backdrop for photos filled with warmth and love. Annaleise’s laughter echoed against the waves, and Luke’s gentle, protective demeanor made each shot feel like a frame from a romantic film.


This engagement session wasn’t just about the incredible scenery (though Deception Pass never disappoints); it was about capturing the essence of Annaleise and Luke’s relationship. Their adventurous spirits, playful energy, and deep connection made this shoot an absolute joy to photograph.


If you’re considering an engagement session in the Pacific Northwest, Deception Pass is a location that offers something truly special. From its diverse landscapes to its jaw-dropping sunsets, it’s a place where memories—and stunning photos—are made.
