Happy Monday! Apparently “engagement season” runs from December to February (I didn’t get the memo) and what better place to pop the question than in one of the grandest landscapes in the world?

So thought I, back in the early spring of 2017 when I found myself head over heels. I’d earmarked the spot during a filming trip to Olympic National Park. It was a place off the beaten path (no crowds) with absolutely epic views of the Olympic Mountains – the summit of Blue Mountain in the lesser visited Deer Park region.
