ELOPEMENTS FOR LOVESTRUCK ADVENTURERS

Washington, Oregon, Northern CA, & Utah

You're in love—with each other and the landscape.

Let's capture both.

During every elopement there is this spectacular…moment. Where despite all the big feelings, you feel small in the magnitude of the scenery. You’ll be squeezing each other's hands, soaking in the view with sheer amazement.

Words don't do it justice. And that's exactly what images and memories are for.

“Words really can’t describe how epic our photos are—they’re a mix between nat geo and romance. Our traditional wedding friends always ask if our pictures are photoshopped. And although we love every photo, it’s the actual experience of going there that we love most.” — Van & Charlie

THE MAGIC OF ELOPING IS PLANNING A WEDDING YOU’RE ACTUALLY STOKED ABOUT

AND LIVING EVERY EPIC MINUTE TO THE FULLEST

Sounds amazing, right!? But how exactly do you plan and execute this once-in-a-lifetime, heart-pounding, dream-worthy day?? Truth is, you’re going to need A LOT more than a photographer. You need a …

  • Permit resource

  • Windblown hair fixer

  • Officiant

And so much more…

  • Sounding board

  • Location scout

  • Safety advisor 

  • Logistics planner

Kinda sounds like you’ll have a whole team following you up the mountain! Or … just me! My expertise paired with your vision makes an incredible team. Then on your wedding day, whether it’s an intimate ceremony with loved ones or a multi-day elopement, you’ll be able to fully let go and focus on the adventure.

Breaking tradition is so freeing. 

When you stop thinking about what you’re “supposed” to do, all you're left with is the freedom of choice. Take this chance to dream big and run with it. That’s what I did, for my own elopement—and my life. 

Follow your heart. Instead of worrying about what's feasible, ask yourselves this: Is this what we want? Does this feel like us? Does it make us happy?

The answers to those questions have already led you to eloping. Maybe next they’ll lead you to having your first dance in a sea of ferns or sitting on a cliffside enjoying some post-nuptials pizza. OR maybe they’ll lead you to moving into a van full time with your forever best friend and dog! Just me? Okay.

5 Things to know going into your adventure elopement:

  1. Planning a day you’re truly excited about will mean your elopement isn’t just a photoshoot, but truly a special and fun experience you’ll remember forever.

  2. It never hurts to be prepared with a plan B…and C…and D, E, F, G. 

  3. We can’t control the weather, but we can make the most of it.

  4. No two moments or photos are the same, your gallery will tell that story.

  5. Vulnerability or bust! Shed happy tears, surrender to the moment, and hold each other.

Kind words from newly-wed friends

  • “To say the photos were absolutely INCREDIBLE would be an understatement. I regularly flip through them and still can’t believe they’re my wedding photos!!"

    Caroline and Matt

  • “Her work speaks for itself, to follow that up she takes pride in her work and it definitely shows. She's just good people. Kind and warm hearted. The amount of care she puts forth to ensure that we had a good time and enjoyed ourselves really meant a lot."

    Van and Charlie

  • “Sierra was so extremely kind and informational during the planning process. I’m pretty introverted and shy but she made it so easy to be in front of the camera. When I didn’t know what to do she’d give me small prompts of what to do. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t have imagined anyone better shooting our big day for us!"

    Marissa and Rob

  • “Sierra was amazing! We had an amazing time doing our elopement with her! We did a long, cold hike, but Sierra made it go as smoothly as possible. She delivered the pictures quickly and they came out beautifully! We could not be happier! Highly recommend her!!"

    Alec and Louise

  • “With Sierra and Garrett's support, we were able to truly soak in every minute and by the end of the day our faces hurt from smiling and laughing so much."

    Skyla and Jake

  • “The world should know how truly wonderful Sierra and Garret are! They definitely had their work cut out for them- with two very awkward individuals who had never had professional photos done, but they were unendingly patient, made us feel comfortable and beautiful, and helped us have direction throughout the day. The day was wonderful and the sneak peeks are absolutely perfect."

    Tyler and Rosemary

  • “Sierra was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was always quickly responsive to questions and emails we had along the way - although we didn't have many because she thinks of everything. My husband and I would use Sierra over and over again. Her work was worth every penny. I cannot recommend her enough."

    Kat and Joe

  • “She went above and beyond with every aspect. Sierra was truly a dream to work with. She was there for us from the very start of planning our elopement and ended up capturing it flawlessly."

    Savannah and Josh

  • “Sierra exceeded our expectations in every way. I am absolutely floored by the photos. We made some last minute changes and she was flexible with the schedule. On the day of the elopement she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was an absolute joy to spend time with."

    Elysse and Pat

  • “Sierra does an amazing job not only with her photography skills, but also with making sure your day is exactly how you want it. She helped us plan our elopement in only 3 months. We’d highly recommend Sierra for any of your photography needs! Her attention to detail, desire to go the extra mile for her clients, and talent is astounding."

    Bradley and Shawn

  • “I will first start by saying that we reached out to Sierra with two week notice. She was completely up for the challenge and did not disappoint that is for sure. We made our travel across country without any worries, we were confident that we hired the right person. She captured our special day perfectly and we are forever grateful!"

    Melody and Steven

  • “Our wedding day was beyond perfect, and we truly could not have imagined a better experience. We can't get over how well organized and supportive Sierra was throughout the whole process, and how comfortable she made us feel throughout the day. If you're eloping or having a small wedding, hire Sierra!"

    Lena and Kellen

  • “Sierra was incredible. She is not only a skilled, creative photographer; she is kind, thoughtful, and someone that lives their values. By the end of our elopement, we weren’t just with our photographer, we were with someone we can call “friend.”"

    Emily and Victoria

Oh, the places we’ll go…

There are no limits. So tell me, where is adventure calling you? 

Whether we need to walk 15 feet, hike 12 miles, or stay in a fire lookout during a lightening storm (true story), I’m up for it!
