Sailing Elopement in the San Juan Islands of Washington state

Kat & Carl live on one of the San Juan Islands in Washington state, which is one of my favorite areas in the PNW to enjoy being immersed in nature. They love island life, and wanted to ring in the celebration of their marriage in a place that meant a lot to them—they chose the neighboring island to their home, Cypress. A green, lush island that doubles as a nature preserve, Cypress was the perfect place for them to say “I do.”
