I already love that about you. As your pnw based elopement photographer I'll be here to guide you every step of the process.
Where to start, what vendors to hire, or even how to choose the perfect Mt. Rainier location or venue.
As your Mount Rainier elopement photographer, I’m here for more than just taking photos. I help with permits, location ideas, and timeline planning so your day feels simple and stress free. My goal is to support you in creating a Mount Rainier elopement that feels relaxed, intentional, and true to who you are.
Choosing who photographs your Mount Rainier elopement is about more than finding someone with a camera. It’s about working with someone who understands the local landscape.. Since 2019, I’ve photographed elopements throughout Washington, including within Mount Rainier National Park’s alpine meadows, forested trails, and mountain viewpoints.
I offer more than just photography. I help with location recommendations, timeline planning, and permit guidance, all while being a calm and steady presence on your elopement day. With in depth knowledge of Mount Rainier and the Pacific Northwest, I help couples create an experience that feels intentional, relaxed, and true to them.
At Mount Rainier, your wedding doesn't have to follow a traditional script. It can be simple, intentional, and centered around what feels right to you. Whether you are planning an intimate elopement with just the two of you or inviting a small group of your closest people, your Mount Rainier elopement should reflect what matters most to you.
My partner and I eloped with our two dogs at Mt. Hood National Forest, and Lauren was absolutely incredible! From the start, she was so personable, warm, and easy to connect with and she went above and beyond to help us figure out what we wanted our day to look like. She helped us figure out our vision, guided us through planning with helpful Zoom meetings, and even scoped out photo spots ahead of time, sending videos so we could see everything in advance.
On the day of, Lauren kept us on track, reminded us to breathe and enjoy the moment, and captured amazing photos of us and our dogs. We’re not usually fans of having our pictures taken, but she made it feel so natural and easy and it was like having another friend there supporting us.
Her communication was great, her ability to help make sure we had everything figured out before the day was truly impressive, her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and the photo turnaround was super quick. We had sneak peaks within a week and our full set of pictures about a month after our special day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or more beautiful photos to remember our day. We are truly grateful for all of her time and effort. Highly recommend!"

"I can’t say enough good things about Lauren — truly, BOOK HER. She’s incredibly kind, so easy to work with, and her photos are absolutely amazing.
She’s so skilled with elopements and knew exactly how to guide me through the process. We brainstormed together, and she helped shape my day into something genuinely perfect.
