Tips from an Elopement Photographer

Ok, ok — so you want to elope in the Pacific Northwest. There are so many locations for your adventurous elopement with or without friends and family. We have a few planning guides on adventure elopements and intimate weddings — click here to find more info.

If you’re thinking about an elopement it can be hard to feel valid and really iron out the details of your wedding day. There isn’t a template that’s pushed for elopements — this is truly a build-your-own adventure sort of day.

Letting Go of a Traditional Wedding

Want to get tattoos? Have smores? It’s your elopement day, do what you want. Whatever you choose to do on your elopement day is valid, and important.

Making sure you feel comfortable on your perfect day is everything. There are not any traditions that you have to do. You don’t need to wear makeup and have your hair done, snag a white dress or some kind of suit. You can wear what you want — even if it’s just your underwear.

Weddings and Elopements in the Olympic Mountains

Just a 40-minute drive from Port Angeles, Hurricane Ridge is the best mountain view location for an elopement in Olympic National Park. It’s epic for sunrise — drive up and park your car at the top and make some coffee and grill up your favorite thing for breakfast. The views from even the parking lot are absolutely stunning.

Professionally photographing elopements gives you a different kind of perspective and insight into hiking through a National Park, and the Olympic Peninsula. Definitely bring snacks, and comfort food — take your time. You never need to hike a bajillion miles very quickly.

Having an Epic Wedding Day

Having an epic wedding day doesn’t mean grabbing that bougie dress, or renting the most expensive camper van, or AirBnb. Honestly, it just means being as vulnerable with your decisions as you can be. When you’re intentional about your decisions, you and your love shines in every part of your day — making it unique, unforgettable, and totally epic.
