The Dream Book
Waterfall Vows
There is a category of waterfall you can walk behind, and it makes for the most dramatic ten minutes of photography in the Northwest. We time arrival for when the crowds are gone, bring towels, and accept that you will be damp. Vows are usually said twice — once where you can hear each other, once at the falls for the photographs.
What it could include
The shape of the day.
- Waterfall selection by flow season, access and crowd timing
- Early-morning or weekday scheduling for privacy
- Footwear, towel and dry-clothes logistics
- Permit handling where required
- Long-exposure and mist portrait work
- Second location nearby for the vow exchange in quiet
Everything above is a starting point, not a fixed package. Tess plans it and photographs it; you book the vendors she lines up, so you hold every contract.
The practical part
Where, when and roughly what.
- Ideal locationsSilver Falls, Ponytail Falls, Franklin Falls, Wallace Falls, Snoqualmie Falls overlooks
- Ideal datesApril through June for flow, September for warm water
- Guest countTwo to 10
- Approximate investmentStarting at $3,900
Approximate investment covers planning and photography. Vendors, permits and travel are quoted in writing before anything is signed.
