What if getting married meant going on the best adventure of your life?

You deserve a day that feels like you—hiking to a place most people never see, saying your vows in a place that feels bigger than both of you, and starting your marriage with a story worth telling.

I'm Jaclyn Baer | Washington Elopement Photographer

After 200+ elopements across the Pacific Northwest, I've learned what makes an adventure elopement work. I specialize in wild, remote locations—I know the trails, the timing, and the spots that take your breath away. My job is to help you plan a day that feels like you, then capture it as it unfolds.

If you're dreaming of sunrise vows on a mountaintop and ending the day in alpenglow, you're in the right place.

Let's plan the adventure you've been dreaming about—sunrise vows on a remote trail, golden light on the peaks, and a day that feels completely yours. I know the trails, the timing, and the locations that make it all come together. You bring the vision. I'll handle the rest.

    "We can’t even begin to thank you enough for our incredible day. From the planning, to the way you handled our family, to the encouragement to embrace the slow and meaningful moments of the day. You are amazing! We went to bed that night with an overwhelming feeling of being so loved and that we had made the best decision “eloping with family” with you! And then we saw the photos…we were stunned, elated, emotional, everything! You captured us, our personalities, the scenery, and our day so beautifully. We will forever cherish them. We’ve included a small token of our appreciation for everything you have done!"

    "Jaclyn was exactly what we were looking for to help with our elopement dreams! We had ideas on what we wanted to do and she was the one who really made it a reality for us. We were coming in from out of town and had random ideas on features we were looking for to do our elopement and Jaclyn somehow managed to pick the perfect spot that nailed it all! She was super communicative leading up to the elopement and has all sorts of guides you can use to plan that help ensure you have a successful and relaxing day.

    Lastly, what really was the cherry on top was how comfortable Jaclyn made us on the day of. I was worried I'd show up and wonder what to do with my hands awkwardly. And from the get, she made it fun with specific prompts for us, gave us enough guidance that we could focus on the ceremony & ourselves, and overall made it fun and silly. And of course... WE LOVE OUR PICTURES! Thanks Jaclyn for making our day so special, would highly recommend to anyone else looking to do something off the beaten path for their wedding!"

    "Words don't seem to quite express just how wonderful Jaclyn was to work with on our elopement day. She was nothing but positive vibes and made us feel so comfortable the whole time. Our day started with a 1.5 mile hike up to an alpine lake and ended with a sweet cake cutting at our Airbnb. Jaclyn's method of asking us questions before each shot to ensure we had the most authentic photos worked beautifully. Her photography style is everything I wanted for documenting our mountain top wedding. I've felt like she's been a long time friend since the moment we met at our initial consultation. I still feel that way even months after our elopement.

    You will have the absolute best experience with Jaclyn as your photographer. Will always recommend her to any and everyone!"

    "LOVE LOVE LOVED our elopement day with Jaclyn! We were looking for someone that felt like our friend and after our first video chat we knew she was just as quirky and cool as us :) As an LGBTQ+ couple we wanted to find someone that we felt comfortable with and Jaclyn was just that!

    She communicated many times with us up until the day of our event, including back and forth of figuring out the perfect spot for our ideas. Aside from just liking her as a person, the pictures she took were EPIC and GORGEOUS!! Our elopement day was so fun with her prompts and questions and the time just flew by!

    "We owe so much gratitude to Jaclyn for creating this wonderfully, unforgettable day for us. It was everything we could have imagined, and even more than what we expected. She provided fun activities for us to complete as a couple in the weeks and months leading up to our elopement day, she had wonderful advice for planning our travels/packing, and have really great guides with all the extra info you might need.

    She also did a really great job of taking our suggestions and visions for the day into consideration. During our elopement day, she gave us really fun prompts to help make us feel less awkward. Something we also really loved is her documentary style photography. It tells a wonderful story of your elopement day, and our friends and family really enjoyed getting to see some of the smaller moments of our day. I highly recommend having Jaclyn be a part of your elopement day, you absolutely will not regret it."
