Capturing your love for each other, completely immersed in this world's awe-inspiring beauty is where my true passion lies. The raw emotions, the natural landscapes, and the pure joy of two souls embarking on a new journey together – all these elements combined make for the most beautiful an rewarding job as your photographer. My promise to you is to tell your story with love, creativity and intention so you can always look back on your day and remember exactly how each moment felt.
WHAT TO EXPECT FOR OUR TIME TOGETHER
Imagine a day not bound by tradition, stress or expectations. A day not limited by something that doesn't completely light you up inside or reflect you as a couple. Adventure elopements allow you to not only connect to the outdoors, but also give the space and freedom to choose anything that resonates with you and leave whatever doesn't. I'm passionate about celebrating you and your love with a day filled whatever you're dreaming of. Maybe it looks like:

Whatever you're dreaming, i want to turn it into art.
After our call, I'll send over a proposal where you can select your package, sign the contract and pay the retainer. From there, we get planning your wildest adventure yet!
After I've received your inquiry, I'll reach out with a link to set up a call! This is such an important step to connect, get to know each other better, hear all about your vision, make sure we're the perfect fit and of course chat all about my role in your crafting your dream day.
To get this adventure going, start by filling out my contact form. You'll automatically get my full pricing guide with everything you need to know about booking with me!
For the untraditional and adventurous couples. Whether you envision exchanging vows on a mountain peak, wandering hand in hand among wildflowers, or standing by the shores of a secluded PNW beach, I'm here to document every step of the journey.
Meant for couples who want an intentional, intimate day surrounded by all their closest people. (For weddings with up to 50 guests)
This one is for my lovers wanting a quicker adventure together. Whether your celebrating your engagement, wanting to hike for your anniversary photos, announcing your pregnancy, or just wanting to capture this season with you're partner, I want to create those tangible moments for you.
Seriously from the initial inquiry to the end of the wedding day, Tessa was so communicative, genuine, understanding and helpful with absolutely everything! She went above and beyond, just being our photographer and offered help with planning finding vendors and more. I seriously looked forward to every single one of our phone calls throughout the year, leading up to the special day. Plus the day of our wedding, she was nothing but fun excited & genuinely happy for everyone it felt like she was apart of the squad. Seriously feels like I’ve known her my whole life. She’s so authentic and creative. You definitely need her for your wedding!

She was so helpful in the planning process and created a timeline that worked out so well and got us everything we wanted in a wedding day. We could tell she put a lot of thought into scouting locations, reading our questionnaire, and keeping the energy up throughout the day. We just got our sneak peeks back too and were stunned at how gorgeous and natural looking they are. We can’t wait to see the rest! I highly recommend working with Tessa for any wedding photos.

Throughout the whole process from booking Tessa to planning calls to the wedding day, Tessa was proactive, easy to work with, professional, and brought a steady, joyful energy to the wedding day. Our family and friends also loved her too- I think that says a lot. I was not worried about anything photo related or schedule wise during the wedding day because she was prepared and took care of it ahead of time. Especially with my husband and I not being local to Washington, she laid out clear options in planning and the whole day went SO smoothly and we are beyond happy with our photos. She captured the day perfectly and it felt so natural to work with her! My husband and I are so grateful for Tessa and would consider her a friend now! I could say more, but just choose Tessa for your dream elopement- she will make it happen!

From our first meeting to the final gallery, the entire process was so much fun and seamless. Tessa listened to our ideas, helped us with locations, and always got back to us quickly whenever we had questions. Her expertise and professionalism helped make our dream micro-wedding a reality!
Not only did my husband and I love working with Tessa, our families loved having her at our wedding. When our 3 year old niece wanted to see Tessa’s camera, Tessa sat next to her, talked with her and let her take a few photos. It was such a cute moment and truly went above and beyond what we were expecting when we hired a photographer.
We had such an incredibly experience working with Tessa and know you will too! We can’t wait to cherish our photos for years to come!

Loved having Tessa document our special day!
I should first say that I am also a wedding and elopement photographer so believe me when I say I was VERY picky when it came to choosing our photographer.
Overall: Tessa was amazing, professional, personal, fun, sweet, quick to reply to messages, transparent about policies and editing style, takes beautiful photos, edits them all perfectly, and is an all around joy to have around!
Its a lot of pressure to be one of 4 people at an elopement and to hike with your clients and keep conversation going, because the group is so small you cant really fade out and be a fly on the wall, like you can at large weddings. Tessa fit in so perfectly, she truly was part of our day, didn't feel like having a vendor hovering over us but rather a friend.

My shooting style is very emotive, inspired by a focus on nature and comes from a more documentary approach. I'm there to guide you through our time together but also strive to create space that allows you feel this moment deeply with your partner.
Much like my shooting philosophy, my editing style is also heavily inspired by colors found in nature like deep forest greens, alpine lake blues and rich browns. My tones tend to be earthy, moody and nostalgic.
04 how would you describe your style?
I take backing up and protecting your memories very seriously! I shoot every session, elopement and wedding on two consecutive cards so there are automatically two copies of each photo from the second I begin shooting. Your photos are then saved to multiple different hard drives and backed up to the cloud to ensure they are safe with various copies.
03 how will you keep our photos safe?
I have been a full time photographer and shooting elopements/ weddings since 2021. Prior to being a photographer, I worked in digital marketing and was a social media manager.
02 How long have you been a photographer?
For couples sessions, you can expect your full gallery within 2-3 weeks. For elopements and weddings, turnaround time is anywhere from 4-8 weeks depending on your package. I always send a sneak peek gallery within 72 hours of our time together!
01 When can we except to receive our photos?
Absolutely! A vast majority of my couples are from out of state and many are experiencing Washington for their very first time. As a born and raised Washingtonian and an avid outdoors lover, I have extensive knowledge of various areas, our national parks, season and weather patterns, permits and so much more. Getting to share my own with others is such a special part of my job!
