Kim & Colin – Hobuck Beach, Neah Bay, Washington

Kim and Colin are outdoorsy people.  Hiking, camping, campfires at the beach, surfing.  They scouted several locations on the Olympic Peninsula for their wedding, a location that would reflect that aspect of themselves.  They found it at Hobuck Beach, just a few miles from Cape Flattery, the most northwestern point in the continental United States.  And the location was spectacular.

From their cabins, there was a small meadowy spot for the reception, and beyond that, tall wild grasses and dunes, and then past that, a flat expanse of sand where they held the wedding ceremony, and beyond that, the ocean itself, pale blue on this day, with a bleached sky with wispy clouds swept in on the Pacific wind.

It wasn’t just the location that reflected their personalities, but the whole day, with personal touches like their dog walking down the aisle, flip flops on the feet, an exchange of leis, and lots of good coffee.  The day ended with a spectacular sunset, which seemed fitting after such a gorgeous and joyful day.  A gallery of their wedding photographs can be seen here.
