Your photographer is fully covered under your wedding SUP.

Worth Knowing

Olympic has one of the most photographer-friendly permit policies of any national park — photography associated with a permitted wedding never requires a separate permit or fee. Contact the permit office directly for current fees and location-specific limits.
