Let's not make this a sufferfest. Elopement views without A 5+ mile hike
Lesbehonest: you can want mountain views, cute outfits, cozy cabins, good snacks, and a timeline that does not require you to become a wilderness influencer overnight.
Not sure where in Washington you want to elope yet?
Perfect. You do not have to show up with a location, permit plan, or fully formed vision. I help couples choose Washington elopement locations based on scenery, season, privacy, access, guest count, and the kind of day they actually want to have.
Explore Washington elopement locations:
Pick the Washington
backdrop. I’ll help with the logistics.
Mountains, coast, forest, lakes, cozy cabins, or no humans for miles. Tell me the vibe and I’ll help find the spot that fits your day.
north cascades
If you’re dreaming of dramatic mountain views, turquoise lakes, and quiet trails that feel a world away North Cascades National Park is your spot. It’s ideal for late summer or early fall elopements, especially if you’re craving an alpine backdrop that’s both wild and peaceful.
mt baker
Mt. Baker gives you panoramic mountain views without the crowds. From alpine meadows to hidden forest spots, this location offers variety, ease, and unreal photo ops. If you want a laid-back experience with jaw-dropping views, this is it.
ps: Do a multi day and we can do both North Cascades AND Mt Baker!
Rainier
Rainier is iconic for a reason: wildflower meadows, glacier views, alpine lakes, and that giant “holy crap, this is Washington” backdrop. It can be busy and seasonal, but with the right plan, it gives main-character mountain energy without making your whole day feel like a tourist traffic jam.
olympic Peninsula
Moody skies, rocky beaches, and moss-draped forests—Washington’s Olympic coastline brings all the PNW drama. It’s perfect for couples who want something cinematic, quiet, and full of soul. Think barefoot vows, salty air, and photos that feel like a movie still.

What I Do
I HELP YOU PLAN IT, LIVE IT, AND REMEMBER IT.
From narrowing down Mt Baker, Olympic, Rainier, North Cascades, and the hidden gems in between, to building timelines and talking through permits, I help make the moving pieces feel way less overwhelming.
Your only job is to show up, get married, eat the snacks, and actually enjoy the day you planned.
Instead of Googling things like:
– “Best elopement spots in Washington”
– “Do we need a permit for this spot?”
– “Do I need an officiant in Washington?”
You’ll have:
– Custom Planning from timeline to locations
– Personalized support & permit direction
– A day that actually feels cared for not patched together

Just A Little Love
We would get married all over again just to pick her twice."
Our photos surpassed our greatest expectations, and the little moments that she captured without us noticing have brought many tears to our eyes. Whenever Jamie walked into a room so did a feeling of relief. She knew all of the tricks, the right things to say, and somehow still managed to hold my phone/tissues/lipstick in the process.
Elisa & Vic
Just A Little Love
Her quirky personality made working with her an absolute delight."
Jamie gave me so much ease on my day - when I was freaking out about centerpieces or running late, she assured me everything was perfect and rearranged everything to include all the details I wanted while alleviating any stress. And the photos? Absolutely gorgeous. She captured every moment we could have ever wanted and more, even ones she probably didn't need to.
Miranda & Cody
Just A Little Love
Not only does she capture moments beautifully, she is genuinely an amazing person."
She took the time to understand our vision + story and provided guidance to bring our day together. We felt completely comfortable and are so thankful to have had Jamie capture our engagement and wedding; we will cherish our photographs for a lifetime.

FAQ:
Planning Your Washington Elopement
Are vendors included?
I’m your photographer, not a full vendor team. But I’ll send trusted recommendations for florals, hair and makeup, officiants, planners, food, lodging, and other good humans who fit your day.
When should we book our elopement?
Most couples book 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for summer and fall. If you’re planning sooner, still reach out. Sometimes calendar magic happens.
Do we need a permit?
Often, yes, especially for national parks, state parks, and certain public lands. I’ll point you in the right direction and help you understand what to ask for. Couples are responsible for applying when a permit is required.
What kind of photos do we get?
You’ll receive a mix of digital images, 35mm film, and iPhone BTS, depending on your package. Think artful landscapes, real emotion, tiny in-between moments, and photos that bring the whole day back.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We plan with flexibility. Rain, fog, snow, and wind are part of Washington’s personality, but I help build timelines and backup options so the day does not fall apart over a forecast.
