As an Olympic National Park elopement photographer, I help couples design intimate wedding experiences rooted in place, atmosphere, and intention.
From permit guidance to tide timing and secluded ceremony locations, ever dtail is thoughtfully planned so you can focus on being present.
You don’t need a giant production to have a meaningful day. You need a place that feels like you, a plan that feels calm, and someone who can guide the flow so you can actually be present.
I’m Tiffany, an adventure-chasing, memory-making storyteller with a heart full of wander and a camera always in hand. My approach? Real, unfiltered, and overflowing with emotion. Whether we’re hiking through misty forests, dancing on windswept beaches, or capturing quiet snuggles at home, I’m there to turn your moments into visual poetry.
Want to know how it all started in a darkroom and turned into the dream job I live today?

Some areas require permits for ceremonies and/or professional photography, and rules can vary depending on the exact spot and group size. I’ll help you navigate what applies and point you to the correct land manager resources.
Leave No Trace is a must.
We stay on durable surfaces, leave the landscape untouched, and keep setups minimal so these places stay wild and protected.
Do you help us plan?
Yes — I help with locations, permits guidance, guest flow, and I build your timeline with you.
What if it rains?
We plan for it. Rain can be part of the magic, and we’ll bring the right layers + backups.
Can we do forest + beach in one day?
Absolutely — we’ll plan travel time and pacing so it stays fun and not exhausting.

Up to 15.
