Queer washington elopement photographer
Queer love is beautiful
the wedding industry doesn't always get that. and you deserve better
Something about big, traditional weddings either rubs you the wrong way, doesn't excite you, or makes you feel excluded.
Something about eloping draws you in.
You're here for a reason, right?
you're in the right place
You deserve so much more than busy, forced, and “so not you,” on your elopement day. You deserve to show up exactly how you are, together, and be celebrated for it. That’s what elopements are all about.
By choosing to elope, you're saying no to the weight of other people's expectations and judgment and yes to the truest expression of your love for each other.
Eloping means you can...
Spend your wedding day doing what matters to you and your partner.
Not what matters to other people.
Exchange your vows in the perfect outdoor spot that makes you feel alive and ignites that spark!
Get married in a way that allows you to feel safe, seen, and celebrated, Without the pressure or judgment. It's about you, together, as you are.

info + pricing
A feisty, adventurous, introverted , queer elopement photographer in the PNW (Washington is my home base).
I photograph elopements for LGBTQ+ couples (and all love). I exist for couples who just want to get married without your shenanigans, great-aunt Mary. Enough already.
Working with me, you'll get in-depth location scouting (for places like the Mt. Baker Wilderness and National Forest, Olympic National Park, Mt. Rainier, the North Cascades, and all manner of hidden gems), vendor recs, personalized timeline building, the ultimate guide to eloping, and a gorgeous gallery of rad photos that you'll still be stoked about in 50 years' time.
Photography is my love language--and I can't wait to show you just how lovely you are.
