Summer Rattlesnake Ledge Engagement Session

Last week, I finally made the trek up to Rattlesnake Ridge to prepare for this Rattlesnake Ledge engagement session! I have been hoping to hike Rattlesnake Ledge Trail since Matt and I moved to Seattle. We planned to hike it a few times, but each time we had the chance, the weather was cloudy. It’s not much fun to hike up to an overlook if you can’t see anything once you’re there!

During the summer, we are lucky to have a lot of clear days. With this in mind, we chose June for their Rattlesnake Ledge engagement session and I was so excited! We packed up all our gear and headed to the top, it took us about an hour. Once we were there we realized it was fairly crowded around the main part of the rock. Not wanting an audience, we climbed down to the bottom of the ledge and enjoyed some privacy. The ledge offers a killer view of the lake!

Peter was like a mountain goat, running up and down the rock and grabbing our bags. Would you believe me if I said he climbed the stairs at Golden Gardens the morning of this 5-mile hike? Give me an ounce of that energy, please!

If you’re not one for hiking and still want to shoot at Rattlesnake Lake, here’s a session from down below!
