Lake Crescent Lodge Engagement Session: Ellie + Chase

Ellie and Chase’s engagement session at Lake Crescent Lodge took place on a quiet, overcast day in Olympic National Park. The soft light, calm water, and surrounding mountains created a setting that felt both cinematic and grounded, which is exactly what makes Lake Crescent one of the most striking engagement session locations on the Olympic Peninsula.

Located just outside Port Angeles, Lake Crescent sits within Olympic National Park and is known for its deep blue water, steep forested slopes, and dramatic shoreline. On cloudy days, the lake takes on a fjord-like quality that feels reminiscent of Lake Como, with moody tones and layered depth rather than bright reflections. For couples drawn to atmospheric landscapes and understated beauty, this location offers something rare in Washington State.
