For years, I’ve had the honor of documenting big, beautiful wedding days the packed dance floors, the emotional vows, the joyful chaos of friends and family coming together. Every couple I’ve worked with has shaped me as a photographer, and I’m endlessly grateful for those moments.
But over the past year, something inside me has shifted.
The more time I’ve spent on Washington beaches at sunrise…
The more hikes I’ve gone through Olympic National Forest…
The more couples I’ve photographed in quiet, intimate settings…
The more I realized where my heart truly comes alive behind the camera.
And that place is adventure elopements.
God’s landscapes.
Quiet connection.
Unscripted, real moments.
The freedom to build a day that feels like you not a timeline you’re trying to squeeze yourself into.
Why I’m Transitioning To Elopements
This decision didn’t come lightly. It’s rooted in:
1. A Deeper, More Meaningful Connection With My Couples
When you elope, the day slows down.
There’s room to breathe, laugh, explore, and be present.
I get to truly know you your story, your energy, your love and document it in a way that feels personal and intentional.
2. Washington Inspires Me on a Soul Level
We live in one of the most breathtaking places in the world.
From the Washington Coast to Hurricane Ridge, Mount Rainier, and hidden alpine lakes, elopements allow us to embrace the wild, dramatic beauty of the PNW.
These backdrops tell stories that traditional venues simply can’t.
3. Creativity That Flows Freely
Elopements give me the space to create art cinematic, emotional, dynamic art.
We’re not rushed.
We’re not cramped indoors.
We get to chase light, wander through forests, walk barefoot on the beach, and capture real connection.
4. A More Relaxed + Joyful Experience for You
Traditional weddings are beautiful but they can also be stressful.
Elopements shift the focus back to the two of you.
No expectations.
No pressure.
Just love, adventure, and a day that feels honest and true to who you are.
5. It Aligns With How I Want to Serve My Couples Moving Forward
This shift is about offering my best my highest creativity, my best energy, my fullest attention.
Elopements allow me to do that.
They allow me to show up with intention, with passion, and with clarity.
What This Means For Future Clients
I will still take on a limited number of micro weddings and intimate celebrations, but my primary focus will now be PNW adventure elopements.
This includes:
- Washington Coast elopements
- Olympic National Park elopements
- Mount Rainier elopements
- Waterfall + forest elopements
- Urban + waterfront Seattle elopements
- Sunrise/sunset adventure sessions
Your love deserves to be documented in a way that feels like a story a story rooted in emotion, connection, and the wild beauty of this place we call home.
If you’re dreaming of a day that feels effortless, intimate, adventurous, and deeply “you,” I would love to create something unforgettable together.
