Outshined Photography

Stacy was an absolute dream to work with! She was very thorough and helpful from the very first conversation we had with her all the way until we received our pictures. She made us feel so comfortable and listened to everything that we wanted and created a dream elopement for us. She was on top of everything and constantly kept in contact with us throughout the whole process. The location was beautiful, and she helped us relax and just take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy every moment! We will forever be grateful to her for making this process so easy and for sharing in our special day with us. She went above and beyond what we were expecting. All of the extra touches she did, made the day even more special than it already was, and something we will always cherish. You will not regret your decision to work with her. She is amazing!

During our elopement with Stacy, it felt as though we were the only 2 people on Earth. With her at the helm it felt as though we got to carve out a whole day for ourselves & our best friends as witnesses where the rest of the world just faded away. We didn’t have to stress or to plan anything out. Stacy did all of the leg work, we were able to customize what we wanted, and on the day of- we just showed up. We made sure to look dapper, and trusted her to capture us & our love; she delivered more than we could have hoped. Changing our plans to an elopement felt like the best of both worlds. We didn’t have to worry about the drunk uncle or whom might get along with whom & what people might think of our first dance song or the venue. We got to focus on us & celebrate just us. We’ll plan a celebration with family & close friends at a later date, when it’s safe to do so & we can worry about all that then. However, it feels a whole lot less stressful knowing we’re already married & that we got to spend a whole day with just us & our photographer capturing our love on film. We don’t have any drama stories behind our photos, just laughs and happy tears.

Our elopement was everything we dreamed of it being- simple, intimate, meaningful and perfect for us. From the very beginning, it was clear that Stacy put so much thought and care into every detail of the experience. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. On top of that, the photos came out absolutely fantastic!! They perfectly captured the emotion and beauty of the day. If you are looking for a personalized and unforgettable elopement experience, Outshined Elopements is it! We couldn’t be happier!

“Stacy was amazing to work with! Neither I nor my husband had been to the Pacific Northwest and really had no idea where to start when we chose to get married in a whole new place for both of us. We love the new experiences and adventures that come with travel and exploring. We wanted to make the most of our wedding day and Stacy was right there to craft us a perfect itinerary to get the most from our time without feeling rushed or pressured. Everything was perfect. We all spent the day laughing together while celebrating love and new adventures. Hands down I would recommend doing an adventure elopement, and I would 100% recommend Stacy’s work. The photos were beautiful, the locations where whimsical and perfect, and the wedding day plus day after hikes were gorgeous. We will cherish the memories, the photographs that captured the moments, and the experience our whole lives.”

"Stacy is an amazing elopement planner, photographer, and officiant, as well as just being a really thoughtful, cool and fun person to spend the day hiking around Mt Rainier National Park with!

From our first time meeting her, we immediately found Stacy to be warm and friendly, authentic, and easy to talk to. She was an integral part of our planning process, every step of the way. Whether she was providing detailed options on the best elopement locations, scenic hikes and local places to stay, or potential timelines and packing lists, it was apparent how much thought and effort she put into making our day perfect. She also provided us with a list of options for her most trusted wedding vendors in the area. Stacy was incredibly accommodating when we asked her to limit professional use of our photos, as we are very private people, wanting to limit our presence on social media. Stacy was very communicative and always just a text, email or phone call away. Even though she was working with many other clients throughout our 8-month planning process, she always made us feel like we were a priority and was 100% available for us. A few weeks before our wedding day, Stacy even went and hiked out to our ceremony location to ensure that enough snow had melted on the trail for us to safely hike there for our elopement.

Even though we felt like we were just hanging out with a good friend, Stacy was always a true professional, making every effort to ensure that our special day was just that. She beautifully captured each and every meaningful moment of the day, much of the time without us even realizing she was there. Stacy truly thought of everything ahead of time for us so that we could just relax and enjoy our wedding day together. We should also highlight that she is quite mindful of any potential health and safety concerns, as well as protecting the environments we visited.

Whenever we look back and remember our elopement, we often comment on how fortunate we were to have shared the entire experience with Stacy. Her photos will provide us with a lasting way to remember so many of the lovely details from our day. We highly recommend Stacy as an elopement photographer and officiant, and would love to work with her again in the future for another photo shoot."
