Small Weddings and Elopements
Your special day is one of the happiest times of your life. But with rising costs, layoffs, and our economy on the horizon,
what about finances? An average wedding today in the U.S. (around 150 guests) runs $35,000!
An elopement can be your perfect solution.
A smaller group means…
> Less food, less waste, fewer tables, fewer decorations, less parking, and a smaller venue or location.
> Less coordination, less stress, and for sure, less money!
But also, more…
> More time to enjoy the ceremony and celebration.
> More time with your individual guests.
> More time to be with your partner, to savor every delightful moment.
> More money to put towards different components of your ceremony, reception, or your honeymoon.
> More venue and location options such as mountains, beaches, a beautiful garden, a beautiful home,
a unique architectural building, or a fairytale cabin in the woods.
Smaller doesn’t mean compromising on style or beauty. Picture an elegant wedding gown or
formal wear in a forest clearing, a winery, a romantic beach, a mountain meadow, or an
elegant home full of rich woodwork with flowers, crystal, china, fairy lights, and candles.
An elopement not only saves you money but also gives you a
personable, and memorable experience without compromising on all the components that make a wedding amazing!

Vow Renewals
Reaffirmation ceremonies are just as special as weddings, celebrating enduring love and continued commitment. While a vow renewal is usually a more intimate, laid-back affair compared to most weddings, you’ll be glad you captured the day with a professional photography package.
A renewal is an emotional event, often marking a major milestone, and many couples still opt to wait to see each other until they walk down the aisle, just as they would the first time around. I offer packages that are a great fit for Vow Renewal ceremonies/receptions, with the same customizable features available in my wedding packages.
Planning a destination Vow Renewal Ceremony? I can accommodate you!
Please Note…
A 50% non-refundable reservation fee is required at the time of booking then the remaining payment is to be made at least 7 days for anything besides elopements, or vow renewals. Elopements and vow renewal remaining payment is due 60 days before the day of your session unless special arrangements have been made. I use Square which is set up for any payments or purchases on my website and accepts most credit and debit cards. I also use Venmo and payment plans are available with prior arrangements.
*Additional accommodation and travel fee for destination shoots outside of WA State.
