Absolutely! While many couples choose a private experience, I also photograph intimate elopements with close family and friends. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small gathering of your favorite people, I help create a relaxed experience that still feels intentional, emotional, and true to your relationship.

Yes, absolutely. Your elopement should reflect your life and the people (and pets) you love most. Whether that means including your dog on the beach, your kids during vows, or a few close family members celebrating alongside you, I’m always happy to help create a day that feels personal and meaningful to you.

Almost every couple tells me this before their session, and I promise you do not need modeling experience to have beautiful photos. My approach is very natural and guided, focusing more on connection and movement rather than stiff posing. I’ll help you feel comfortable every step of the way so your images feel authentic, relaxed, and genuinely like you.

Some locations in Washington, especially within national parks and protected areas, do require permits for elopements or ceremonies. Don’t worry though, I help guide my couples through that process and can point you toward the correct information, applications, and requirements for your chosen location.

The Pacific Northwest is known for its moody skies, fog, and coastal weather, and honestly, that’s part of the magic. Light rain or overcast skies usually won’t stop us and often create the most beautiful, emotional images.

If severe weather or unsafe conditions happen, I’ll help adjust the timeline, location, or create a backup plan to keep your day safe and stress-free. I always recommend couples come prepared with layers, waterproof shoes, and an adventurous mindset.
