◆ At a Glance ◆

Gus and Ria were married at Camp Moran State Park on Orcas Island, where they camped and partied hard. Some of our favorite parts include the couple’s son Harlan breastfeeding before the wedding, the canoe entrance to the ceremony, and the joyous dock jump after! They quite literally took the plunge. The reception had dancing, s’mores, and even some skinny-dipping. All is right with this wedding.

Gus and Ria were married at Camp Moran State Park on Orcas Island (about 100 miles north of Seattle), where they camped and partied hard. Ria’s mom designed all of the decor and flowers for the wedding, and then it was all team effort to execute.
