Romantic Couples Photos in the Pacific Northwest

Couples

One year ago, I had the honor of capturing this couple’s wedding day, and now, we’re celebrating their first anniversary with a breathtaking golden hour session at in the Columbia River Gorge. These romantic couples photos in the Pacific Northwest were the perfect way to commemorate their first year of marriage. July gifted us the most perfect evening—warm, with just a hint of breeze, as the sun dipped low and bathed the landscape in golden light.

From the moment we arrived for this couples session, these two brought the same joy and love that made their wedding day so special. She wore a flowing blue midi dress that mirrored the hues of the river, while he complemented her perfectly in a green collared shirt and tan pants—colors that blended beautifully with the natural surroundings. I always love when couples choose earthy, nature-inspired tones because they create such a timeless and organic feel in photos for their couples photos in the PNW.

We started the session in a sunlit meadow of the Pacific Northwest, where they twirled, laughed, and embraced, their connection effortless and full of life. As we wandered toward the rocky overlooks, the light filtered through the trees, creating the most magical glow around them. They shared quiet, intimate moments—foreheads pressed together, soft smiles exchanged—before breaking into playful laughter, running hand in hand along the ridge.

Government Cove is such a dreamy location, offering stunning panoramic views of the Columbia River, and it was the perfect backdrop to capture the essence of their love: fun, youthful, deeply connected. This location has been closed to the public as of 2024, but if you’re looking for similar locations, check out this spot on the other side of the river.

I’m so grateful to have documented this milestone for them. Here’s to many more years of love, adventure, and golden sunsets together!
