There were only four people at this couple’s elopement: the bride, the groom, the officiant and photographer Marcela Pulido. Captured in Wahclella Falls in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, the group hiked roughly two miles so their ceremony would be surrounded by the beauty of nature. Fortunately for the photographer, the couple was open to hiking a bit further for their portraits so she could capture more of the gorgeous natural light as well.

“Once we got to the waterfall, I was instantly taken with how the light was illuminating the mist,” says Pulido, who then asked the couple to climb up the small hill to where the light was beaming. “I knew that I wanted to capture the ethereal, almost fairytale ambience.”

(Captured with a Canon 5D Mark III and a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART lens.)
