  • Woman Owned

Hey, I'm Janelle — an adventure elopement photographer based in the Puget Sound area of Washington State.

My goal is to encourage & guide couples to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors by exploring breathtaking places to celebrate their most intimate moments. Couples hire me for my previous experience as an outdoor recreation guide leading hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, and snowshoeing trips. I was born and raised in WA and have spent most of my life exploring her trails, so I know all the secret spots ;)

This is not just a photo shoot — it's an epic adventure wedding experience, completely unique to you, that you can look back on for the rest of your lives. Your wedding day adventure, exactly how you want it. No holds barred.

    "Janelle was a sweet ball of positive energy the whole long day. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout. Our favorite part of our whole day was the first look/location photoshoot. It was a time that we could spend together creating memories that were intimate and personal. We were the center of attention while also feeling like we were the only two people there. It was an amazing and special experience that we'll never forget."

    You are the best. The way that our marriage weekend turned out, we could not imagine having anyone behind the camera but you.

    First of all, the photos are jaw dropping. We can't believe someone was able to take how we feel about eachother and everything that we love about the outdoors and fit it into an image. When we opened the photos we choked up. Your eye for beauty and the skill to capture a moment is remarkable. Also, clicking with you was so easy! We really enjoyed sharing the day with you- person to person.

    Lastly, we just have to thank you again and again- our hearts are filled to the brim knowing that these memories are always there to reflect on.

    Janelle was such a blast to work with. My partner and I had never gotten photos done professionally, and we both were nervous about it being awkward with posing etc. Janelle made this so incredibly easy. Instead of posing, it was so natural and fun. She encouraged us to be authentically us and act as if she wasn’t there. She helped us figure out different poses, and was super good at instructing when we needed, and that was so reassuring. She helped us with location, and we did multiple different spots! The photos turned out amazing, and we had so much fun working with her. Would absolutely do it again.

    "It was an absolute pleasure to work with you! You did an excellent job capturing the details of our big day and going with the flow of things on our second day of shooting. We are so thankful that you were happy to hike down to the river after we got our truck stuck! The quality of pictures you produced is outstanding and we will treasure them for all the years to come."
