PNW Mountain Wedding / Torie & Lane

Some wedding days feel effortless from start to finish... and this one at North Fork Farms in North Bend, Washington was exactly that and then some.

North Fork Farms is truly one of those venues that takes your breath away the moment you arrive. Nestled at the base of the Cascade Mountains, it offers a stunning natural backdrop that honestly doesn’t need much (if any) decoration. The open fields, mountain views, and peaceful surroundings create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and completely grounded in nature. It’s the kind of place where the scenery does all the work, allowing the day to feel authentic, intentional, and beautifully simple. Need I say more?!

Adding to the magic was the sweetest couple, whose love for eachother, their daughter, friends and family was so genuine and easy to photograph. They were relaxed, present, and clearly soaking in every moment of the day. Watching them together felt less like documenting a wedding and more like telling the story of a family... truly such a special moment I am so happy I got to capture.

And let’s talk about the weather... absolute perfection. Washington can be unpredictable, but this day showed up in the best way possible. Soft light, comfortable temperatures, and just enough sunshine to make the mountains glow. It was the kind of weather photographers dream about and couples hope for.

From beginning to end, the day was easygoing, fun, and stress-free. No rushing, no pressure just a relaxed timeline, lots of laughter, and space for real moments to unfold naturally. These are the days that remind me why I love wedding photography so much: beautiful places, kind people, meaningful connections, and an atmosphere that lets everyone simply be themselves.

Proof that when the setting is good and the people are better, everything else falls into place.
