Washington Elopement Photographer


All Inclusive Elopement Photographer for Couples Who Want a Truly Stress-Free Wedding

WA | OR | PNW

You’re in the Right Place if You:

1. Want a stress-free, one-of-a-kind wedding

2. Want a wedding without rules, boundaries, or expectations

3. Want a wedding with zero planning required and a damn-near all inclusive elopement experience

Imagine the freedom of having a wedding that is focused on the two of you and doing something completely original and authentic, all while not having to worry about any of the planning or stress leading up to that moment.

Real Quick: What is an Elopement?

I am changing what an elopement means around here.

An elopement is this: doing whatever the hell you want when you get married.

Whether you want to:

  • Have an intimate wedding with close friends and family or have a multi-day adventure

  • Wear multiple wedding dresses

  • Say “I do” alone in the woods

    The important thing is the focus on your experience and doing whatever you want to do on your wedding day. No idea is too crazy, anything is possible.

Let Me be the Ghost Writer of Your Wedding Story.

I love the process of photography; but most importantly, I love to tell a couple’s story through photographs. I work with couples who want the timeless and intimate moments of their wedding day captured and told in a way that is true to who they are.

Let’s ditch the traditional ideas the wedding industry has expected you to fulfill on your wedding day.

Instead, show up as you are, and let’s celebrate your day in a way that makes you want to re-live your wedding day over and over again.

Your Unconventional Wedding Photographer for Unconventional Couples

Hello! My name is Doug, your Washington elopement photographer and intimate wedding photographer.

I specialize in photographing unconventional and untraditional couples who dare to start their best chapter of their lives in a way that is authentically them. A big wedding doesn’t feel right for a lot of people—I know it didn’t feel right for me—so my goal is to help you plan and capture the perfect wedding day for you!

Growing up with the Washington State mountains as my playground, I developed a strong attachment to the great outdoors and a love for the people who choose to lose themselves in them.

From Someone Who Also Chose to Elope in Washington:

I broke the rules too and chose to elope instead.

With just 9 months left to our wedding day, we cancelled our 250 guest wedding and chose to elope instead. We broke away from what we felt society expected from us and were “supposed to have” for our wedding. We spent more time with each other on our wedding day than anyone doing a traditional wedding would have. We camped, hiked, had our dogs join, drank endless mimosas, and even took a nap. It was absolutely perfect.
