An engagement is a promise. A wedding is a dream of the future. But an anniversary, a real one, ten years deep, is proof. So when the Navarro family wanted to celebrate a decade of marriage in style, we headed straight for Mt. Rainier.
The Navarros chose to mark ten years of marriage the way they’d lived them: together, in nature, with family by their side. Mt. Rainier gave us a jaw-dropping backdrop, but honestly, the real beauty was watching the love between them all over again on such a monumental day.
Mrs. Navarro’s gown and her joy were radiant. There’s something humbling about standing behind the camera in the presence of a love that’s had ten years to prove itself, her grace was lit up even more by the forest and the mountain light around her.
A vow renewal carries different weight than a wedding day. It’s not about beginnings, it’s a celebration of longevity, and of a partnership that’s already been tested and chosen again. Mt. Rainier’s scale and strength make it the perfect place to photograph that kind of long-standing love, whether you’re marking one year or ten.
PNW photography is unique and timeless, enchanting, ever-changing landscapes that are just as suited to anniversaries as they are to engagements and weddings. If a mountain vow renewal or anniversary session sounds like your kind of celebration, let’s get it on the books.
Vow renewals, elopements, and full wedding days all live in the same place. Here is more on my wedding photography.



























































Yes, Mt. Rainier National Park is a stunning, accessible backdrop for vow renewals, anniversaries, and family celebrations, and I’d love to help plan one.
Mountain sessions depend on weather and permits, so it’s best to reach out as early as possible to lock in your date.
Absolutely, the Navarros’ family joined them for their 10-year vow renewal, and I love weaving family into these bigger celebration sessions.
