"Lauren effortlessly made our session enjoyable and helped us feel relaxed. My partner and I were able to truly be ourselves and Lauren skillfully captured the essence of our love. If you’re looking for a fun/ professional photographer Lauren is the perfect person for the job."
- Taylor + Savanna
"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 were 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."
- Amy + Nils
“Our experience with Lauren was so wonderful! Lauren took our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn’t be happier! 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 Lauren’s expertise and her ability to capture the moment through the lens. My husband and I love all our photos and we still keep looking at the them!”

Love The Pacific Northwest But Can't Decide On A Location?
Here's a few of my favorite areas in Washington and Oregon State
The Columbia River Gorge
waterfalls, expansive viewpoints and lush forests
A Pacific Northwest gem featuring spectacular waterfalls, lush forests, and dramatic cliffs. Discover iconic spots like Multnomah Falls, Latourell Falls, Rowena Crest, and Government Cove. Mount Hood is also just a short drive away as well! This region offers easy-to-access and hike-in ceremony locations to suit every vision. Best of all, no permits are required, making the Columbia River Gorge an effortless and unforgettable wedding destination.
For more info on eloping in the Columbia River Gorge be sure to visit my guide! This is a great starting point for couples wanting to read about the best locations to exchange your vows, where to stay, things to do, and best time of year to elope here.
The Oregon Coast
ocean views, dense forests and rocky cliff sides
One of my favorite things about the Oregon Coast is it's diverse landscape. It features everything from sandy dunes and rugged cliffs to lush old-growth forests and waterfalls. There's many special things around the Oregon Coast, which is why I wrote a whole blog about my favorite areas to explore, the best intimate locations to exchange your vows, the coziest Airbnb's to stay in on your wedding night, and all the insight you'll need to start planning your one of a kind elopement!
Mount Rainier Nat. Park
a classic pnw alpine mountain scape
Mount Rainier offers a majestic mountain elopement with glacier-capped peaks, wildflower meadows, and sweeping alpine vistas. Choose iconic spots like Paradise or Sunrise for breathtaking ceremonies, or explore the trails for secluded moments. Peak season can be busy, but quieter times exist. A special use permit is required, so be sure to plan ahead and contact the National Park ahead of time. For information on choosing the perfect hike, the best views to enjoy on your elopement day, permit specifics and steps to apply for a permit and more - be sure to check out my guide to Eloping in Mount Rainier National Park!
