Most likely, you are an adventurous, outdoorsy couple with your own unique style. Perhaps you value experiences over material things and have the desire to celebrate your special day in your own way or on your own terms.

One thing I know for certain is that you want photographs that capture feelings and not just images. You and your partner want to be yourselves on your big day and come away with stories to tell and memories to share for generations to come….and photographs that are a time capsule of your memories!

Frequently Asked Questions

An elopement is a unique day where you and your partner say your handwritten vows to each other in nature and in front of your very closest friends or just your photographer. It can include adventures and definitely includes your favorite activities to do together.

A small, intimate wedding can still be uniquely yours in nature, but includes up to 10 of your closest family and friends. It may also include some indoor activities.

That is the fun part of the elopement planning process. When we have our initial meeting, I will ask you questions that help you think through what you want to incorporate into your ceremony and then what other types of activities you want to have and the best locations for those activities. Once we have that figured out, I will lay out a detailed timeline and that will define how much time we will allocate for your elopement.

We can’t control Mother Nature, so we will make sure to have a primary plan for your elopement, as well as multiple backup options. I will also help you develop a packing list that includes such items as umbrellas, warm jackets, boots, snowshoes…whatever we may need to ensure you still have a fun and safe day. I always carry sunscreen, ibuprofen, and hand/feet warmers to help with changes in our day we didn’t expect.

If the weather is going to prevent a safe day, then we will work on another day that can work.

The best part about your elopement is that you can do whatever you want!

If hiking isn’t your thing, you can kayak in an alpine lake or ride your bicycles on an exhilarating mountain pass or ride in a helicopter over a glacier or take a private tour through your favorite museum or all of the above. You can also cook your favorite meals, drive to your favorite overlook and say your vows as the sun sets. The options are endless.

Just as you are able to write your own vows to each other, we are also able to craft the ceremony however you want it.

To make your marriage official, I only need to proclaim your marriage to each other at the end of your ceremony. I can do that from any location. I also sign the marriage license and we can do that back at the car or your lodging.

Each state has different rules, so I help you with that in advance. In the states where you can self solemnize, all I need to do is sign your license.

Read More about my officiating services

I love dogs! I have a big, fluffy labrador retriever myself. As much as possible, we will work to include your dog in your ceremony or any part of your elopement. Many National Parks don’t allow dogs on their main trails though. So if your dog can’t be incorporated into your adventuring or ceremony, we’ll incorporate them at some part of your day. They want to celebrate with you just as much as you want them there!

If we are walking at all, then I recommend that you wear a very comfortable pair of shoes or boots for walking long distances in (and that you’ve broken in before your wedding day).

If you want to have a special pair of shoes for your pictures, make sure they fit in your backpack.

And if we’re going to be on a beach, have a pair of flip flops that you can leave in the car. Just don’t wear socks with your Tevas.

Making Your Marriage Official

I would love to provide you with elopement officiating services to help you get married your way!

I will help you craft a personalized ceremony script around your written vows and ensure everything official is taken care of.

Testimonials

Washington Elopement Photographer

North Cascades Adventure Elopement

“During our Washington elopement with Stacy it felt as though we were the only two people on Earth. With her at the helm it felt as though we got to carve out a whole day for ourselves & our best friends as witnesses where the rest of the world just faded away. We didn’t have to stress or to plan anything out. Stacy did all of the leg work, we were able to customize what we wanted and on the day of – we just showed up. We made sure to look dapper, and trusted her to capture us & our love; she delivered more than we could have hoped. Changing our plans to an elopement felt like the best of both worlds. We didn’t have to worry about the drunk uncle or whom might get along with whom & what people might think of our first dance song or the venue. We got to focus on us & celebrate just us. We’ll plan a celebration with family & close friends at a later date, when it’s safe to do so & we can worry about all that then. However, it feels a whole lot less stressful knowing we’re already married & that we got to spend a whole day with just us & our photographer capturing our love on film. We don’t have any drama stories behind our photos, just laughs and happy tears.

“This review will never cover the scope of how wonderful, kind, meticulous and die-hard of a photographer Stacy is! Stacy, from day one, was very communicative and easy to talk to. We had several zoom calls before our elopement day which prepared us for our elopement.

In the few months meeting up to our elopement, Stacy had carefully crafted multiple timelines based on questionnaires and our goals for our day, as well as providing us with great information to help us plan our day. She listens so well. For our elopement, she incorporated so many fine details that we had mentioned about ourselves, that it truly made us feel like we were there with someone who knew us (just my husband and I eloped/no family)!

Stacy is all about doing what the couple wants to do, but she also has been to many places and is very aware of the ins-outs of trails/hikes/lodging and can give honest input in the planning process. We valued her guidance when selecting which hikes, how many, and what times, etc.
Her photography skills are stunning. We selected her specifically for her abilities to do landscape and night photos, as well as her experience photographing in the great outdoors. Stacy’s passion for the authentic human experience was evident every step of this process— she really loves what she does and it shows. Stacy is such a genuine person, we really felt at ease with her on our wedding experience away from home!”

“Stacy was amazing to work with! Neither I nor my husband had been to the Pacific Northwest and really had no idea where to start when we chose to get married in a whole new place for both of us. We love the new experiences and adventures that come with travel and exploring. We wanted to make the most of our elopement and Stacy was right there to craft us a perfect itinerary to get the most from our time without feeling rushed or pressured. Everything was perfect. We all spent the day laughing together while celebrating love and new adventures. Hands down I would recommend doing an adventure elopement, and I would 100% recommend Stacy’s work. The photos were beautiful, the locations where whimsical and perfect, and the wedding day plus day after hikes were gorgeous. We will cherish the memories, the photographs that captured the moments, and the experience our whole lives.”
