"Having a “traditional” wedding was our attempt to please lots of other people... Eloping allowed us to make the day truly just about us and what we both hold most dear."

Hi! I’m Sienna and I’ve been a professional wedding and elopement photographer since 2010. I started off my profession shooting traditional weddings where the hectic nature of a wedding taught me to quickly adapt to any situation. My love for working with couples led me to seek out a more intimate way of photographing such a sacred event for two people. So many of the couples I had worked with were happy to get married, but felt overwhelmed on their wedding day to the point that they were ready for it to be over. So, I transitioned to elopement photography where couples could focus on each other and go at their own pace!
A little about me: I have an infant son, a wonderful + supporting husband Christopher, and two kitties. I love hiking, dancing, gaming, and vegan food!
Consider me your elopement day BFF, personal trail navigator, and relationship hype woman: here to be not only your Washington elopement photographer but to help with locations, vendors, and your Washington elopement timeline but to help with locations, vendors, the planning process and your Washington elopement timeline!
Proud to be a Latina woman and LGBTQ-owned business that celebrates inclusivity + diversity.

We have been fortunate enough to shoot the most scenic areas of Washington and when we work with you + your partner, we are so stoked to share all the hidden gems with you! But for those just beginning your journey, here are some of the top places in Washington to consider for your wedding day!
Washington has lush forests surrounding volcanic mountains that make for epic views and pictures you can’t get anywhere else. Let’s take a look at a few of our favorites and what they can offer you + your partner on your elopement day.
Mount Rainier is a popular elopement location because of its iconic alpine scenery. You can hike up toward the mountain itself, to a beautiful fire lookout view, or in the surrounding areas for views of the mountain and surrounding areas. Check out a Mount Rainier elopement that we shot which covers all of the above!Mount Rainier is a popular elopement location because of its iconic alpine scenery.

North Cascades has dramatic views through the winding roads that lead you further into the serene landscape. It’s such a gorgeous location that it’s hard to put into words so we recommended checking out this moody North Cascades elopement we had the pleasure of shooting. The extended snowscape means that some parts may be inaccessible but that never stopped us in the past. Check out a snowy North Cascades elopement we shot for some inspiration of what nature as a backdrop looks like.
Olympic National Park provides the quintessential experience of a mountain and forest location. The trees are abundant and the forest floor is covered in the signature ferns that adorn the Pacific Northwest. The rolling mountain sides make every picture feel like a painting. This Olympic National Park elopement shows off those very vibes!
The Washington Coast differs from the rest of the west coast because of the unique geography of Washington. Parts of the state are fractured land and water masses known as sounds that stretch through most of the coast. Some areas of the coast are more remote to access but provide such beautiful collisions of rocky beaches with rock structures scattered along the coasts. Locations like Ruby Beach, La Push (which may sound familiar to Twilight fans), and Cape Flattery make for moody and otherworldly backdrops.
There are plenty of hidden gems in the PNW that benefit from an experienced hand. A location like Artist Point in Mount Baker is beautiful but needs careful eye on the very small window of opportunity to visit it. Lake Crescent, just outside of Port Angeles, is a beautiful attraction that many like to visit but did you know there are sections that are far less visited by the general public which offer privacy and some of the clearest water you’ll ever see?

I know, I know…you might expect a Washington elopement photographer to be biased. But as someone who has planned a wedding, scrapped it all and opted to elope, I can honestly say that it’s the way to go.
Like many other brides I had to weigh the cost, logistics, and invitation list that haunts every couple who considers having a more traditional wedding. The stress and burden of planning such a large event, even with help from friends and family, can be more than feels intuitive. And we’re here to let you know that if you’re deciding to elope, you’ve made a great decision!
You may have questions like:
How do I tell family and friends I’m eloping?
That’s why we have an elopement resource page dedicated to answering those questions and more! If you’re ready to get started on your journey or have questions of your own about elopement planning, let’s chat!
