Rosario Beach Engagement Session in Washington | Alexa and Joshua

Hanging out with Alexa and Joshua for their Rosario Beach engagement session was such a treat, especially since they introduced me to this absolutely stunning location. Located on the southwest side of Fidalgo Island, Rosario Beach is part of Deception Pass State Park in Anacortes, Washington. With over 3,800 acres and 77,000 feet of shoreline, this state park is one of Washington’s most visited, and Rosario Beach is one of its quiet treasures. You’ll even find historic features, like a totem pole carving tucked near the trail.

Color-Coordinated Style and Coastal Charm

We began our session at the Rosario Beach cove and public dock. I loved how Alexa and Joshua matched for the occasion- Alexa in a blue patterned dress and Joshua in a button-up shirt that perfectly pulled out the color of the ocean nearby. It felt like the whole scene was styled just for them. And, not gonna lie, one of my favorite things about Rosario Beach? It’s a rock beach, not sand. Give me rugged shoreline texture any day.

Rosario Head Views Without the 10-Mile Hike

After a little time spent walking the beach and dock, we followed the Rosario Head Trail to overlook the surrounding coast. I always love when couples are up for a little exploring. It’s proof that incredible views don’t require a massive trek. The views from the top were breathtaking, even without any wildlife sightings—though if you’re lucky, you might catch orcas, porpoises, or gray whales from up there.

As the sun began to dip, we returned to the cove for a few final photos—some dancing, some kisses, and a whole lot of peaceful ocean glow. Alexa and Joshua’s Rosario Beach engagement session made me fall in love with this little corner of the Pacific Northwest. I can’t wait to return for more sessions in this area, and I’ve already got my eye on nearby Bowman Bay for next time.

I had so much fun hanging out with Alexa and Joshua, and getting to capture their love story! Are you looking for a beachside engagement session in Washington? Rosario Beach might be the perfect hidden gem, let’s explore it together. Also, check out other engagement sessions below!
