Whether you’re after a high alpine adventure or something laid back and intimate, Washington offers the kind of diverse, jaw dropping backdrops that make your elopement feel like you.

Advice from someone who’s been there..

I believe your love story is so much more than just the day you get married and that story deserves to be told. Im here to help create an experience that is truly unforgettable and it starts with the way we design your elopement package. These photos that you’re investing in, will last longer than anything else you pour your money into. so, make sure you’re making the absolute right choice for you and don’t let numbers scare you away from preventing you from getting the photographer you want.

Trail Reviews

“Rylee was phenomenal from the moment we spoke, 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up! From the start, I knew she was the perfect fit. She was incredibly helpful, guiding us through every step and even bringing us coffee on our elopement day. The photos and video? Absolutely stunning. Not a dry eye at our celebration, and we still get endless compliments. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rylee is a badass, the kindest human, and truly one of a kind.”
Marissa & Jamal
Oregon Intimate Wedding
“Rylee was absolutely amazing! Her deep knowledge of PNW elopement spots made planning from across the country effortless. When weather threw us a curveball, she made sure our backup location felt just as special. From day one, we clicked with her down-to-earth vibe. Little did we know we’d be gaining a friend, too! If you’re eloping, no matter where, Rylee is the one to have by your side!”
Chelsea & Brendon
North Cascades Elopement
“Rylee is the absolute BEST! She was more than just our photographer – she was our planner, guide, and friend all in one. From scouting locations and sending videos to handling last-minute weather chaos, she went above and beyond. Despite power outages, snow, and rain, she and her coordinator took care of everything, so we didn’t have to stress. And she still hiked with us in the snow! Plus, we got sneak peeks the next day, she’s truly superwoman!”
Nikita & Brandon
2022 North Cascades Elopement
“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!!”
Emma & August
Olympic National Park Elopement
“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!”
Kelly & Matt
Colorado Multi-Day Elopement
“Working with Rylee felt like having a close friend by our side. She was patient, supportive, and kept me calm through all our last-minute changes. On our wedding day, despite the heat and relentless mosquitoes, she went above and beyond to capture every moment beautifully. From our private vows to the after-party, she made sure we felt comfortable and confident. Years later, we’re still obsessed with our photos!”
Nicole & Taylor
Alaska Elopement
“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”
Madison & Eli
Central Cascades Intimate Wedding
“Rylee is one of the most phenomenal photographers out there, not only was she a great photographer she is a great friend! My entire family loved her and to this day talk about how amazing she is! Our pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined!”
Autumn & Keri
North Cascades Elopement
“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.”
Kimberly & Dominic
Moab Adventure Elopement
“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.”
Adam & Andrianna
Olympic National Park Elopement
“Working with Rylee was an incredible experience. From the start, she was kind, real, and down-to-earth, quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and full of amazing recommendations. She made planning effortless, guiding us every step of the way. And when we saw our photos and video? Absolutely breathtaking. I’ve always struggled with self-love, but Rylee made me feel beautiful, and those images mean the world to us. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about them! Choosing Rylee was the best decision we made.”
Brittany & Alex
Central Cascades Elopement
“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.”

Frequently Asked Questions

It all depends on the experience you’re dreaming up. Generally, the best time for epic mountain views, wildflowers, and snow-free trails is July through October. If you’re drawn to the coast, forests, or those moody Pacific Northwest vibes, spring and fall offer fewer crowds and beautiful atmosphere. On the other hand, if a winter wonderland is more your style, December to March can be magical in lower elevations like the Olympic coast or forested areas. In short, there’s a perfect season for every kind of adventure.

To legally elope in Washington, you’ll need to apply for a state marriage license (note: there’s a 3-day waiting period). You’ll also need an officiant and two witnesses but don’t worry, I can help you coordinate all of that.

You share the vibe mountain peaks, misty coasts, deep forests and I’ll help curate the best locations for your day, tailored to the season, accessibility, and your overall vision.

Not at all! While I love a good hike, there are plenty of breathtaking spots that are drive-up or just a short walk away. Whether you’re craving a full blown adventure or something slower and more relaxed, I’ll help you find a location that matches your comfort level and your vision.

100%!! I’m here to make it easy. From choosing the right location to building your timeline, handling permits, and recommending trusted vendors, I’ll guide you through every step with clarity and support.

Absolutely! Eloping doesn’t mean going it alone. Whether it’s just the two of you or you’re bringing your closest friends and family, I’ll help create an experience that includes everyone in a way that feels meaningful and true to you.
