Mountain Matrimony Passionate adventurers, Lizzie and Piotr wanted more for their wedding day than the traditional walk down the aisle. They wanted a day filled with things they love — the mountains and the ocean. Taking a seaplane towards the North Cascades, they landed at Ross Lake. The couple traded their formal footwear for hiking boots and climbed to a private viewpoint. There they exchanged handwritten vows, popped champagne, and celebrated being married with a picnic looking out at the mountains.
