Wedding photography is an investment. Creating a customized wedding experience takes time and energy from everyone involved. Before we talk about what you need, I want you to know this: I am fueled by a desire to capture your love story in a way that authentically reflects YOU. Listening to your vision, drawing from my experience, and executing a stress-free romantic celebration is what you are investing in. 

We often forget the power of a photograph until the moments we cherish have already passed. 

I cannot wait to preserve this momentous celebration with intention and creativity. Take a moment to review the different options available, and choose what feels best! If you are ready to collaborate with a photographer that is as PUMPED as you are about your love, let’s chat! 

My promise to you as a Seattle-based wedding photographer

I'll capture those magical moments that you will reminisce on for years to come






Weddings have a special place in my heart! Magic happens when surrounded by loved ones for this major milestone and I LOVE being there to capture every single moment. Just like elopements, every wedding is completely unique to the couple, so I believe in custom tailoring a package to fit your needs! Getting to know my wedding couples is my favorite part of the planning process as it allows me to bring their vision to life! Whether it's an intimate wedding with 30 or 200 of your favorite people, I'm down to capture all the celebrations big and small! Have you started dreaming yet? I am so excited to hear your wedding day ideas and what you want it to look like!

Packages + pricing for Seattle celebrations and BEYOND

Starting at $4500

Elopements are customized, intimate experiences to celebrate your love. The purpose of an elopement is to release expectations and remain true to you! Get married on a mountain top, near a lake, on the beach or on a boat. Choosing an elopement experience is about committing to what YOU want and I’m here to empower you to do so! There is something magical that happens when documenting love stories in the PNW. The jaw-dropping landscapes create adventure for every elopement, but being born and raised here makes me feel a sense of pride. Spending my formative years surrounded by this natural beauty has impacted me greatly. Simply put - I LOVE IT HERE and I’m thrilled to share the PNW with you for your elopement! Contact me and we'll customize an elopement package that fits what you need!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ELOPE?

Your elopement can be planned in as little as a few weeks, so there’s no right or wrong way to do it. If you're planning a wedding, I recommend a year in advance for planning. But I recommend my couples to book their elopement at least 8 months in advance to make sure that I’m free for their date!

We will figure this part out on our call as we discuss what you want your day to look like. But my most popular package is my full day package!

Absolutely! The best part about eloping is that you can make the experience whatever you want! However I recommend keeping your group to twenty people or less. This allows the experience to remain intimate and stress-free.

Short answer, you don’t! I typically recommend my clients to bring their wedding attire in a garment bag, attached to their hiking bag. This allows you to hike more quickly and have more time for cleanup before the ceremony begins. However, you’re more than welcome to hike in your wedding dress, or even for part of the hike. This makes for incredible pictures as long as you’re okay with your dress getting dirty!

I do not reschedule for the weather. Backup plans are created during the planning process to ensure an out-of-this-world wedding experience no matter what!

Yes! In fact, I absolutely love to travel for elopement and wedding photography. Interested in a destination elopement or wedding? Reach out and we can chat!

Yes! Not only is this realistic, it is quite common. The PNW has some of the most incredible landscapes in the world and I'm very familiar with all of it, so I'm here to be your guide!

Heck yeah! I love providing my clients with elopement options that fit their needs. I strongly believe everyone should be able to access the great outdoors without having to be an olympian. 

The best time to elope in the PNW is July through October. When traveling to tropical or warm locations, planning for winter or spring works best. 

YES! As long as your location permits. Some national parks do not allow dogs. And definitely bring someone along to watch your dog when you're off doing your own thing!

Yes! Please mention this in our consultation and I will provide you with a list to choose from.

The average wedding costs $35,000 while an average elopement costs $15,000. 

How many witnesses do I need?

This depends on your state and/or country! Typically two witnesses are required for your ceremony to be legal. Once we decide on your elopement location we can discuss the requirements and plan accordingly. Alternatively, if you don’t want to bring anyone to your ceremony you don’t have to. Enjoy your elopement day and finalize the legalities at home.
