Your partnership was built on road-tripping to National Parks, getting outdoors on the weekends, and exploring cute towns to find the best coffee.

Why should your wedding day be any different?

Let’s be real: traditional weddings don’t really reflect couples. They don’t match personalities, too many people were invited, and it becomes a blur for the couple.

Now imagine experiencing your wedding day, instead of just surviving it!

  • Say your vows immersed in the magic of nature.
  • Feel comfortable and free as you play on the beach.
  • Get more dirt on your clothes and feel more wind in your hair.

Lace up your boots! Let’s go where the wifi is weak and embrace an elopement adventure. 

But with so many options how do you even know where to start?

Get ready to explore with someone like me! Hi, I’m Alexandria!

 

I’m a Washington Adventure Elopement Photographer with over 7+ years as a local focusing on elopements. I have a wide range of expertise that ranges from nuanced details to well-known ideas and concepts about landscapes, trails, timelines, permits, light, weather and so much more. I’ve got an in-depth planning process so you have all the tools to make your day a reality. I’m a Leave No Trace aware photographer which means you’ll be partaking in something bigger than your wedding day: the opportunity to make sure we keep these places beautiful for years to come so more couples can be like you!

It’s a common misconception that eloping is selfish, however, after over 10 years in the wedding industry, I believe every couple deserves to have a day that reflects their partnership and a chance to be themselves in front of my camera. I am a child of divorce and a survivor of domestic abuse, so I fully understand what it’s like to find freedom and joy in the love, support, and safety of not only your partner but also your chosen family.

By working with me, you’ll be able have an adventure that matches your pursuit of wonder in the world. You’ll be able to feel present and comfortable in a photo experience that not only embraces an unscripted vibe, but balances help for when you need it so walk away with photos to last a lifetime.

 

You’ll truly be able to say:

“Damn, we did that”

Ask me about my coffee package too!

There’s something so bougie about drinking a fresh cup of coffee in places that feel like you shouldn’t be able to have a cup of coffee! This concept was inspired by my sister. When she and I travel, we send pictures of our morning coffee to each other, with whatever view we have. When I visited her recently, we lugged coffee supplies + a mini pie on a hike and sat at the lake just enjoying our warmth while we watched the sun come up. And let me tell you – everyone told us how jealous they were! Ive created a similar experience add on for my couples so be sure to ask about it!

I would love to chat with you!

What to say about one of the most joyous and giving photographers I have ever met? As a Houston based photographer myself, I was looking for someone special to capture our Washington wedding. As soon as we found Alexandria, I knew we hit the jackpot. Not only was she immediately kind and understanding during our first Zoom call, but she made every step of the process so easy. From getting to know us as a couple, to scouting locations (and sending us IN DEPTH options), to sending us a Wedding Day Bible to walk us through all the steps along the way (OMG it was AMAZING), to just being the best day-of, Alexandria was a dream. I don't think I will ever need to hire her as a wedding photographer again (ha!) but I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to do an adventure wedding in the Washington area. Also, I might just need to hire her to walk around with me next time I am in Washington because she is that good. Thank you, Alexandria! You shine!

Where to begin!! Alexandria was an absolute DREAM to work with. From the very beginning, I knew she was going to make our special day amazing. Her detailed Q&A and guide helped us narrow down the perfect location. She was easily accessible with any questions we had and allowed us to feel prepared (packing lists, how to apply for permits, etc). Her plan for the day got us all the best lighting and made for amazing photos. The photos truly speak for themselves!!
Not only was her work ethic and photography amazing, Alexandria has the sweetest personality. She easily blended in with us which made the day feel so comfortable and relaxed. I would rave about working with her all day long!! We can’t thank her enough for making our elopement a dream come true.

Alexandria is quite literally the best wedding photographer on the face of the planet - and I never exaggerate! ;) Not only did she capture our day so perfectly, but she catered to our exact vision and went above and beyond. Since my wedding, I've been telling all soon-to-be brides that the photographer is the most important vendor of the day because of how much time you spend with them, especially during intimate moments. Alexandria was so phenomenal to be around on our day and did such a great job of making sure we felt comfortable, had fun, and enjoyed the day. Not only is she amazingly talented, but just an all around lovely human. Thanks Alexandria for making our day the best ever!!!

Sage trails was the BEST DECISION I made in regards to my elopement!!!!!!

Alexandria was such an amazing person to work with!!!! Throughout the whole process, she was so helpful!!

We were very overwhelmed trying to plan and she really helped us make decisions easily!

The communication was so constant throughout it, we never felt out of the loop or lost

The day of it really felt like she was one of my besties who just happened to be amazingly talented at photography!!!!

We laughed so much, had so much fun, and it just truly made our day that much more special!!

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take photos!! She is 10/10! I’d rate more than 5 stars if I could!!

I can not say enough good things about Alexandria! We were very picky when choosing our photographer - expected as my husband is a photographer! We really wanted someone to capture our day, not just pose us for photos. Alexandria went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. After looking at probably a dozen photographers we came across Alexandria, loved her approach that she stated on her site and wanted to talk to her more. Right away during our zoom interview with her we immediately felt at ease. Her friendly energetic personality absolutely shined and we knew right away she was the photographer we wanted. She was unbelievably helpful during the planning process, as we were getting married in Washington, but live in Michigan. We also had quite a few considerations when it came to our location, and she was so attentive to those details. She was extremely communicative leading up to the day of our wedding which was very reassuring. Wedding day she was phenomenal! She explained her thoughts and ideas so clearly they were really easy for us to understand and see her vision. She worked so well with our family, and blended in so naturally, I don't even remember her being there taking photographs during the ceremony. After the ceremony we had a small barbeque, then went on a hike just her, my husband and I. We had a blast hiking with Alexandria! She was so fun to work with, time absolutely flew by. We received our sneak peek photos so much faster than we were expecting and they are STUNNING!
