Opt in to something a little more untraditional 

I believe the way you get married should feel like you

The big ordeal is the life we create together, not just the day we say ‘I do’, but there is nothing more exciting than stepping into your next adventure together, in a way that feels wildly – unapologetically you! By choosing to elope, you’re choosing so much more than just having a wedding and you deserve to have someone with the same values document your day.

The Experience

You’ve decided to say fuck it to tradition because…

↠ An experience filled day sounds more your vibe than a big ordeal 

↠ The thought of planning a full-blown wedding has you feeling overwhelmed and not stoked

↠ all the unsolicited advice just doesn’t resonate with you

↠ You want to Exchange vows in a breathtaking national park instead of some cookie cutter venue

..then you’ve exactly where you need to be!

When I got to her website I knew immediately she was a better fit overall for both photo & video. Her vibe was just right. Then we spoke & I knew I was making the right decision.

Rylee was SO helpful & responsive through out the entire planning process. She guided us & helped with recommendations. When the time came for our day, she even brought coffee/ breakfast for us. The day was beautiful & they were just as relaxed as we needed. We needed our video for a party back home before we really needed the edited photos so Rylee worked to get that to us as well as a bunch of sneak peak photos. ALL of it was beautiful. Not a dry eye at the party & countless compliments were thrown at the end products.

I receive comments & compliments all the time about our elopement photos. Truly don’t think we would have gotten these forever keepsakes of the most amazing day if it weren’t for Rylee. Plus she’s a badass, super freaking kind & an overall awesome human.

“Rylee was nothing short of absolutely amazing when it came to being our wedding photographer. Her extensive knowledge of PNW elopement locations helped make choosing to elope on the other side of the county a no-brainer. Due to undesirable weather conditions on the day of our wedding, we chose to go to our backup location. While still rainy & cold, Rylee made sure to make our day as seamless as possible.

From day one, my husband and I instantly clicked with Rylee’s down-to-earth vibes. Little did we know when choosing our wedding photographer, we’d be making a friend too! I would recommend Rylee to anyone who is considering to elope not only just in the PNW but anywhere!”

“I cannot rave enough about Rylee!! She is the freaking BEST!! While we were planning she was like a planner, photographer, and best friend all in one package! She was so responsive, made me feel comfortable and prepared. We had an intimate first look and then a small 20 person wedding, and she helped with ALL of it! She scouted locations for our hike, even going there and sending me videos. The weekend of our wedding the weather was NUTS and caused power outages, snow, rain, the works…YET Rylee and her day of coordinator Jess literally handled everything for me from changing venues to organizing guests. She still woke up and hiked with us in the snow, and came prepared with thermal clothes and handwarmers for us. Seriously, she is hands down the BEST!!!! We had sneak peeks literally the next day, like what the heck she is also super woman!”

We LOVE Rylee and keep coming back for more! We first met Rylee when we hired her to shoot our private, legal elopement at the Seattle courthouse. We absolutely adored our photos and adored her even more. Now we have her shooting our adventure elopement in Olympic National Park that our family is participating in next month.
Having Rylee as your photographer is like bringing your best friend along for your elopement. It is truly something special to have someone you are comfortable with and excited to be around on your special day. Rylee is all of that and more- would leave 6 stars if I could!!

Rylee is one of a kind. I find it almost hard to put into words what an amazing person she truly is. Our elopement was so beautiful, emotional, and perfect. Rylee helped us scout out our location and literally found a place with everything on our list: lake, waterfall, mountains, and lush trees. She made us feel so comfortable and confident the entire day and we never felt any stress/timeline issues. Rylee went above and beyond for us in so many ways and I have recommended her to a lot of friends. If you’re thinking of eloping this is your gal!

We absolutely loved every part of working with Rylee. She felt like a friend from the moment we started communicating and was so patient with us while our plans changed multiple times due to pandemic restrictions. 

On the day of, Rylee helped keep me calm and composed. She was such an amazing hype woman and made me feel so confident. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t typical for Alaskan summers and it ended up reaching the mid-80s°. Rylee still went above and beyond to get the perfect shots, despite the heat and the massive mosquitoes that were flying around. She made sure that we were relaxed and comfortable in between our private vows, our small ceremony with family and friends, and then our small after-party.

When we received our photos, we were stunned by how perfectly Rylee had captured our day. We are still so obsessed with our pictures two and a half years later.

Rylee is incredible + has become more than just a photographer for us but a friend. She took couple photos for us when we were dating, our engagement shoot, our wedding, and an adventure wedding shoot in the North Cascades. Her work is not only impeccable and perfectly matched our style, but we had fun + felt comfortable in what would otherwise be somewhat awkward (not usually a photo gal personally). She was soooo fast to deliver our photos and took so much attention to details. I can’t recommend her enough

Not only did Rylee take amazing photos for our Elopement she helped us throughout the entire day and leading up to our wedding. She found an amazing location for us as well as suggested us where to stay and everything we would need(such as permits and marriage license info). I was completely stress free for our whole wedding planning.

I would say me and my husband are and can be a bit awkward when it comes to taking photos but we both felt so incredibly comfortable with Rylee. She was very flexible and easy going and made the whole experience an absolute blast. I will remember this day forever. I would 10000/10 recommend.

Rylee made our adventure elopement a dream come true! She helped us plan our elopement, communicated with us frequently as the big day approached, and was the best hype girl on our wedding day. We had a blast and our wedding pictures are truly incredible—we will treasure them forever.

I’m not even sure where to start but working with Rylee was an amazing experience. When we were planning our elopement in Washington we wanted to surround ourselves/work with people who were going to make it an amazing day for us and that’s exactly what happened with Rylee. She was so kind, real and down to earth. Super quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She had tons of recommendations for everything from flowers to location. We’d obviously never done something like this before but she made the process so easy. And then the pictures/video were just absolutely beautiful. I was obsessed! Iv always struggled with self love but I felt like I looked beautiful and those pictures mean a lot to my now husband and I. Ive received so many compliments on them from all our friends and family as well! The photographer was the single most important part for me other than actually getting married of course because it’s what we will have to look at to remember our day by and I truly don’t think I could have picked a better photographer. Thanks so much Rylee!

My wife and I hired Rylee for our wedding last year and could not be happier with the end result. I had balked at the cost of most of the photographers my wife was looking at for our small Covid wedding and while Rylee was in the same ballpark the results were more than worth it.

 She did an amazing job with our dawn first look, coached us through it with ease and set up some simply stunning and natural photos that captured the moment and all the emotions beautifully.

 She’s also easygoing and fun so with all the nerves and goings on of the big day working with her was a breeze. Could not recommend more.
