PACIFIC NORTHWEST ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
WHERE ROMANTIC ADVENTURE & ELEGANCE MEET
Your wedding is far from an ordinary day.
So it shouldn't feel like one.
I KNOW YOU'RE TOSSING AROUND A LOT OF IDEAS.
BUT HEAR ME OUT, YOU COULD:
Hop on a private seaplane from Seattle to the San Juan Islands for a wedding weekend of pampering at the historic resort on Orcas Island and exploring the peaceful harbors.
Take a ferry to a remote mountain village, where tomorrow your helicopter pilot will be ready to whisk you away to a meadow tucked in the Northern Cascades for an intimate ceremony.
Make your forever promises at sunrise while overlooking the ocean, before hiking down through the trees to meet your loved ones on the beach for an elaborate, celebratory brunch.
After a day of exploring waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge you retired to the lodge, where you and your favorite people are staying, for a catered dinner under a canopy of trees and lights.
Let’s turn wedding days like these into real experiences & real memories.
…AND LET’S HAVE SOME REAL FUN WHILE DOING IT, OKAY?

Nope! There are plenty of short ADA accessible paths and pull off spots with unbelievable views.

Absolutely, they’re family! In the planning process, we will be sure to make sure everywhere we visit is dog friendly. And I even know some dog sitters that can tag along for the day!

I’m accepting bookings for 2024 and 2025. Most couples begin working with me 6-18 months before their wedding – however, if you’re planning something sooner or last minute don’t hesitate to reach out! If I’m available the day you’re thinking then I’m happy to hit the ground running with you.

Since Washington and Oregon are known for rain, most couples plan elopements between May and October. The rain is enchanting and oftentimes short lived so don’t let that deter you! Looking for a snowy winter elopement? Both Washington and Oregon offer great winter locations too!
In the haze of planning I want to feel like a breath of fresh air, mountain air.
With a lifetime spent exploring the Pacific Northwest and over fifteen years of photography experience, I'm here to help you not only navigate the unpredictability of this region, but also the intricacies of your wedding day.
And see pictures of my dogs. Is that a bribe? Yes. Is it working???

My wife and I found Heather before we were even engaged and knew we wanted her to be out photographer for our elopement. She was very helpful in the whole process of planning our elopement. The best part though was the fact that she made us feel so comfortable. The weather changed our original plans but Heather was quick to make two new alternative plans for the day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my elopement!
