Washington Elopement Photographer
For couples ready to break tradition and embrace adventure, I capture love stories in unforgettable places—from Mount Rainier to the Hoh Rainforest, Olympic coastlines, and North Cascades.
So, you’ve been rethinking what a wedding should be like?
Inclusive Elopement Photography
Your love story is beautifully unique, and it deserves to be celebrated exactly as you are. I’m here for every couple—LGBTQ+, non-binary, interracial, or anything in between—because love is love, and it should be honored without limits. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a mountaintop in the Rockies, surrounded by the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest, or anywhere your hearts take you, I’ll be there to capture the magic with care, creativity, and a touch of adventure.
Hey there! I’m Ethan, your Washington elopement photographer
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming—guest lists, outdated traditions, and endless expectations pulling you in every direction. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I believe your wedding should be full of meaning and free from unnecessary stress—a day that reflects your connection and feels completely personal.
Photography isn’t just snapping pretty pictures (though, yes, you’ll get those too). It’s about crafting an experience—one that feels joyful, authentic, and as unique as your love story. With over a decade behind the lens—including years at Disney and Apple where storytelling became second nature—I’ve learned something important. The best photos aren’t just pictures—they’re moments when you’re fully present and barely notice I’m there.
From scouting breathtaking locations to crafting a seamless timeline, I’ll help you create a wedding day that feels like an adventure of its own. This is more than your wedding day – it’s the launchpad for all the adventures ahead.
TL;DR
You’ve got a vision. Let’s make it yours.

“It felt like spending time with your loving and supportive friend—who just happens to have a camera. Ethan’s genuine, kind spirit and calming presence made us feel like the only people in the world that mattered. From his upbeat energy to his concise, thoughtful communication, he was a breath of fresh air in what could have been a stressful moment. He wasn’t just our photographer—he was our steady guide, grounding us and making the day unforgettable.”

“Ethan brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. From scoping out perfect locations ahead of time to ensuring we felt confident and cared for every step of the way, he was organized, upbeat, and always available to answer our questions. His passion for the outdoors and photography shone through, and his hype-man energy kept us excited and at ease throughout our marathon day. The sneak peeks were absolutely stunning—triple what we expected—and left us with so many incredible memories to frame. Ethan truly goes above and beyond. My only complaint is I have too many favorites to choose from!”
