Although the all-inclusive packages are designed for couples not bringing any guests, we can definitely customize your ceremony arrangements to accommodate up to 20 guests. With more than 20 guests, it generally starts to feel more like a traditional wedding than an elopement and a photography package may be a better fit for you.

A signed contract and $2400 retainer will officially book your elopement day. Then the planning begins and I keep you updated during the entire process!

I photograph elopements all over the United States and abroad. I specialize in Washington, Oregon, California, and Utah locations. If you're interested in an all inclusive package, fill out the contact form and I can send you more information!

You’ll have to book your flights, accommodations, and car rental (if applicable), but I can give recommendations or help you book these! Meals are not included in your package. Aside from that, I’ll have everything sorted out for you!

It’s easier than you think! You’ll need a Washington marriage license, an officiant, and two witnesses. You’ll apply for your marriage license yourselves, but I’ll walk you through exactly what needs to happen and when. You don’t need to live in Washington, and a license from any county works anywhere in the state. Just keep in mind there’s a 3-day waiting period before your license is valid, so we’ll make sure that’s taken care of ahead of your elopement day (you can apply in person or by mail). Your officiant is already included in your package! And if it’s just the two of you, don’t stress about witnesses. We’ve had park rangers, friendly hikers, and hair and makeup artists sign as witnesses!

It depends on your ceremony location, but I’ll walk you through the entire process! Most national park locations in Washington, like Mount Rainier and North Cascades, require a special use permit for your ceremony. Some don’t, like Olympic National Park if your group is 5 people or fewer. A few popular spots, like Artist Point, are managed by the National Forest instead of the park, so the process looks a little different there. Since the permit has to be in your names, you’ll be the ones to submit the application, but I’ll guide you through every step to make it as easy as possible. I promise it’s easier than you think, and I’m here to help!

It really depends on the vibe you’re looking for! Washington is a year-round elopement destination, and the trick is choosing the aesthetic you want and planning around it.

Spring is perfect for the coast and lower elevation mountains, since higher elevation spots usually still have snow.

Summer brings wildflowers to the higher elevations in July and August, but it’s also the busiest time in the national parks. If wildflowers are your dream, let me know and I’ll point you to the best spots for your dates!

Fall is a total sweet spot, especially September and early October, with vibrant colors, way fewer crowds, and most roads still open before the snow rolls in.

Winter is seriously slept on! It’s your chance to have the Hoh Rainforest all to yourselves (hello glowing green moss and romantic umbrella photos), snowshoe to a spot that’s all your own, or add skiing, snowboarding, or snowmobiling to your adventure.

Spring and fall are usually my favorites, but honestly, there’s no wrong season here!
