ELOPE IN THE PNW

pnw elopement with lindsey o.

Living in the PNW is something that I have grown more and more fond of year after year. Over those years, being away, and exploring the terrain, I have such an appreciation and knowledge for its beauty, simplicity, overcast skies (hello perfect portrait lighting), and genuine people!

Being able to live and work here provides me with the most amazing opportunities to explore, create, and witness some breathtaking terrain, peaceful darkness in the trees, encounters with wildlife, and photographing the most amazing elopements!

Whether you are looking for a rocky beach at sunset, a trek up to our largest mountains, a picnic in the hills with deer, or a completely secluded cabin in the woods by the water, I'm here to help plan your elopement and I couldn't be happier about it.

​

WHY ELOPE IN THE PNW?

The PNW is the most beautiful part of North America. The Pacific Northwest refers to the northwestern portion of the US. It stretched along the Pacific Ocean, Cascade Mountains, Washington State, Oregon, and parts of California, Idaho, and Alaska. 

This lush and beautiful region is full of dramatic scenery, massive mountains, lush forests, and its the perfect place for an elopement!

There are so many amazing options when it comes to looking for elopement locations in the PNW and I have knowledge and experience with all of the best ones. Are you and your loved one ready to elope in the PNW?

how it will work

The first thing we will do is work together to select dates that work with both of our schedules. After that, we will work on the type of experiences you are looking for in the PNW.  

Once we have a date and experiences decided, I will work with you to determine the route and locations we will want to travel to. This will ensure that you see the variety of places that are most important to you based on my experience of the area.  
​
The different areas all have a unique charm to them and I'm here to help you determine what types of locations you are looking for, and then an itinerary that can provide all of those for you. I'll put together a timeline for all of the best stops along with the best times of day to see these beautiful places.

​After I have the route and schedule decided, I'll take care of all the accommodations for the trip - taking the planning, research, and stress out of your hands.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK AND TRAVEL WITH ME?

First of all, I'm a very go-with-the-flow and easy-going type of person.  Each day, I’ll go over the planned stops with you and adjust as needed.  

For each stop we discover or plan to visit, I leave it totally up to you how you would like to experience it. If you want to dress up in your wedding attire and spend most of your time at a certain spot, that’s what we will do!  

If you want to bundle up and simply take in a location for the beauty it is, I will drop you off to do just that.  If you want to wear your casual clothes and take some adventurous couple photos at a location, then that's what we will do!  

Each location is so unique, that I believe in doing what you feel in that exact moment. I will purposefully build your trip to be flexible and unforgettable. ​

WHAT TO EXPECT

Depending on the locations you decide, we may be driving, hiking, walking, and traveling quite a bit.  

This may mean getting up early and/or going to bed late, this is so we can get you the most unique and amazing experiences. 

Whether you are thinking about eloping in Washington State, California, Idaho, or Alaska, I'll have a perfect package for you!

Because I'm taking care of the driving and planning, you are free to sleep along the way of course, or use this time to get yourself photo-ready.

​want to extend your trip or honeymoon?

If you would like to stay near one of the locations we choose and experience the area a bit longer to see more, I will help you pick the perfect spot to spend the rest of your trip. I’ll even bring you there after our time together.

I go beyond just providing photography services, I am here to ensure that you have the best experience possible and I will do everything in my power to make sure that happens!
