Dreamy Engagement Session at Second Beach, Forks, WA | Olympic National Park Photographer

Jul 28

Donielle and Michael chose Second Beach in Forks, Washington for their engagement session because it holds a special place in their hearts. Back in 2020, they visited and camped here together for the first time, creating memories that made this spot the perfect backdrop for their engagement photos.

Why Choose Second Beach for Engagement Photos?

While Olympic National Park offers countless iconic photo spots like Ruby Beach, Hoh Rainforest, La Push, Rialto Beach, Lake Crescent, and Hurricane Ridge, Second Beach is a gem that feels a little more off the beaten path. It’s perfect for couples who want stunning scenery with a more intimate, less crowded feel.

The trail to Second Beach is short and relatively easy, but the reward is huge. At low tide, you can walk right up to the sea stacks normally surrounded by ocean and search for starfish and other sea creatures clinging to the rocks. There’s even a natural rock arch that creates an epic photo backdrop—one of our favorite features!

A True Pacific Northwest Vibe

On the day of Donielle and Michael’s session, fog rolled in and out while the sun peeked through, creating that moody, magical PNW atmosphere we all love. The weather was ever-changing, the beach was glowing, and every moment felt straight out of a dream.

If you’re looking for something truly unique and magical for your engagement session, Second Beach on the Olympic Peninsula is an incredible choice.
