Comments on Love at high altitude: a ski wedding near Mount Rainier

  1. I don’t dig snow, but this is amazing! What a beautiful location. Congrats to the happy couple 🙂

  2. So beautiful!! My parents got married on a mountain summit near Rainier in 1974– not on skis, but in parkas and in the Cascades. Nice to see the tradition carried on 🙂

  3. I’m not a big fan of snow either, but the blue sky and snow capped mountains make it a simply stunning location for a wedding. Love the cake toppers too-were they a custom job??
