Washington Elopement Photographer & Planner
Stress-Free, Soul-Deep Washington Elopements
You have no idea how epic this could be.
So you've decided a big, traditional wedding isn’t for you.
Maybe you’re introverted and the thought of saying your vows in front of 100 people makes you sweat. Maybe you don’t want to spend your wedding day stressed out about a timeline and greeting guests for hours instead of spending time with each other. Or maybe you don’t want to share this moment with even 20 people.
You know what you don't want. But what do you want?
Because once you take away the hundreds of guests, the big venue, a sit-down dinner and a dance floor, all that’s left is a short ceremony and taking a few portraits. While the simplicity feels like a relief, it also feels a little anti-climactic.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THERE'S ANOTHER OPTION?

You don't have to choose between a traditional wedding or a bare minimum courthouse elopement.
Because this is huge - You’ve found the person who makes your heart race, and now you’re ready to make it official. This kind of love deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels as epic and profound as the connection you share.
It’s completely possible to celebrate your love in a stress-free and soul-deep way.

I'M NOT JUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER -I'M YOUR PARTNER IN THIS VENTURE.
A prepared-spontaneous kind of gal. I’m a planned-adventure kind of bitch, if you will. We’re talking hiking spreadsheets and pins on Google Maps. A car with a full gas tank and an extra set of socks under the seat.

When do we need to book our elopement photographer?
Most eloping couples book me about 6-12 months before their date to keep the planning process stress-free.
We want to have guests. Is that still an elopement?
Yes, for sure! If you’re looking for an adventure with your closest loved ones, you’re in the right place.
How do we even start planning an elopement?
It can definitely feel overwhelming at the beginning when you have so many different options. Focus on these four things to start and everything else will fall into place: the when, where, who and how. This is my specialty, and I’d be honored to help!
