From the breathtaking sunset at Ruby Beach to their touching vows beneath the Tree of Life and their romantic candlelit evening, every moment radiated with genuine love.

For the backdrop, we chose Lake Wenatchee State Park in February. During this time, there's plenty of snow, and the white blanket covering the mountains, with trees peeking through, creates a magical atmosphere.

J. & D. traded Florida sunshine for a winter wonderland, and wow… did they get what they wished for! These two wanted snow for their big day, and Washington delivered in the most magical way.

This was a super intimate elopement with just their closest family members. No big crowds, just big love!

We captured gorgeous shots at Christine Falls and Myrtle Falls. The mountain itself played hard to get—showing its majestic peak briefly in the morning (though slightly hazy) before completely disappearing into thick fog.

This beautiful intimate wedding took place in the backyard, right by the river with mountains as the backdrop.

A. and J., originally drawn to Olympic National Park for their elopement, discovered through planning that their love for city life and foodie adventures made Seattle a better fit. Embracing the flexibility of elopements, they shifted their plans to enjoy Seattle’s unique restaurants, architecture, and vibrant atmosphere.

This May elopement in Olympic National Park will be remembered for a long time. Not just for its beauty and emotion. A few weeks after the ceremony, the groom sent me a photo of his arm—a large tattoo of one of my photos on his shoulder. That message made my day.

It was a sunny August day, perfect for a mountain elopement. Nature was still in full bloom, with long daylight hours.

This adventure elopement at Olympic National Park was a full-day celebration, filled with personal touches, emotional moments, and picturesque locations, ending with a rainy but joyful ceremony on Ruby Beach surrounded by loved ones.

When I stumbled upon an old, rusted car in the forest, it sparked an idea for a photo session.

K. wore a cast for months and used a wheelchair. To lift her spirits, I set up this photo session with her husband.

The nautical theme of this intimate wedding and the choice of a yacht were no coincidence. The bride is the daughter of a sailor, and the groom is a retired Navy officer.

This sweet and photogenic couple chose to have their romantic photo session with their two dogs.

It was an intimate gathering: just the bride, groom, two of the groom’s brothers, and the bride’s brother and sister. Each guest played a part in both the preparation and the ceremony.

E. and C. had lots of personal details in their elopement’s decoration, including their names and wedding date. They couldn't bring their dogs, cat, and turtle to the ceremony, so to be together with them their pets' faces were engraved on the groom's cufflinks and the bride's bracelet.

This was the most unusual engagement photoshoot I've ever done, and I even won an award for “Best of the best engagement” from Junebug Magazine for it!

This shoot was planned for this lovely couple's 15th wedding anniversary. Over the years, they have participated in many photo sessions and tried many looks. So on this day, they just wanted to have fun and enjoy the experience.

This day perfectly illustrates my belief that there is no bad weather for an adventure photo session.
