Hi there, I’m Lauren! Your Pacific Northwest based elopement photographer, personal location scout, logistics assistant, hype woman, and more!

I’m here to capture your story in the most natural and authentic way possible, turning your special moments into timeless memories. As someone who has spent my entire life in the Pacific Northwest, I have a deep connection to this beautiful region. What truly inspires me is the opportunity to connect with the amazing people I photograph. I believe the best photos come from the raw, real moments that reflect who you are— whether it’s the laughter, the quiet tender moments, or the adventurous spirit that drives you.

When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy hiking and backpacking, volunteering on local organic farms, foraging for culinary mushrooms, and creating pottery on my potter’s wheel. My passion for creativity and the outdoors fuels everything I do, and I love weaving those elements into my work. I can’t wait to learn more about you, share some laughs, and help tell your one-of-a-kind story through photos you’ll treasure forever!

 

Your Wedding, Your Way: Embrace A Day That’s Uniquely Yours

These days, your wedding doesn’t have to follow any rules—it’s all about celebrating you and your love story. Whether it’s an intimate day for just the two of you or a joyful gathering with your closest friends and family, your wedding should reflect what matters most to you. Forget the stress of trying to please everyone or orchestrating a big production if that’s not your vibe. Consider this your official permission slip to create a day that’s completely, unapologetically yours.

All of My Packages Include:

  • Planning and Timeline Assistance
  • Custom Location Recommendations
  • Permit Information
  • Officiant Services (I’m ordained!)
  • Photography Coverage by Yours Truly
  • No Travel Costs or Taxes!

As An Expert, I’ve Created Some Helpful Guides To Help Jump Start The Planning Process

Some of my post popular guides are Eloping In The Columbia River Gorge, my Mount Rainier Elopement Guide and my guide on Eloping on the Oregon Coast. These all go over the best spots to visit, coziest cabins to stay in, hiking trails with the best views, permit information, and so much more!

"We had such a wonderful experience working with Lauren for our adventure elopement! She has such an easy going personality and energy that made us feel comfortable and relaxed behind the camera. We were looking for someone who would also be up for a bit of a hike and she was stoked to be a part of it. Not to mention the pictures are beautiful! We just moved from the PNW and will forever treasure the moments she was able to capture for us on the coast. There are countless photographers out there, we are so glad we found Lauren."

Lauren’s kind personality makes you immediately feel comfortable in front of the camera and my husband and I felt natural the whole time. I appreciate her expertise and ability to capture the moment through the lens. My husband and I love all our photos and we still keep looking at the them!”
