But what if you're not sure what to do and where to do it, let alone make sure you get that relaxed feeling in a place you don't actually live near?
I’m your friendly, dog-loving, local Washington elopement photographer who is actually a transplant from Wisconsin (go Badgers!)
Washington is actually such a special place. I've spent the past 8+ years exploring. Every time I head outdoors, I get to experience something really magical and I never know what it will be! And I make it my mission to make sure all my couples get to experience how cool Washington is too.
With over 6 years in the adventure elopement industry, you work with someone who has had the big wedding (and doesn't recommend it for everyone) and has helped countless couples plan smaller, more intimate experiences! I take you out of analysis paralysis and help you formulate an amazing plan!

I'm a local expert.
Nature-based elopements come with their own set of logistics that traditional wedding photographers don't consider - and you might not either. I am a hiker, so I have a wide range of expertise from nuanced details to well-known facts, which allows me to assist you with everything from ideas, locations, light, timelines, permits, marriage licenses, weather, logistics and more! Your place becomes inaccessible? We have a backup plan ready to go, too. And as someone who is a transplant, this is something I've spent years tuning heavily into, a lot more than other photographers will!
I have a directed documentary style.
My balanced posing approach allows you to enjoy your emotions and to experience your memories without feeling performative. While there are points during the day focused on portraits, the goal is always for you to feel comfortable and present. I'll set you up for the best light and help you when needed, but also allow you to be yourselves. Our entire planning process from questionnaires to calls to emails all give me an the clear picture of how you want to spend your day which gives me the knowledge on how to deliver a gallery with artful photographs, AND keep your experience in mind. From embraces amongst grand landscapes to hands holding the details of moss, to you just enjoying your time- it will all be documented so walk away with whimsical photos and memories to last a lifetime.
I help you design your experience, not just give you location ideas.
The experience with me is SO MUCH MORE than location suggestions and it's why I don't just show up to take photos. Locations are a starting point and a crucial one in the process. But helping you come up with additional ways to celebrate and then putting it all together in a timeline that feels relaxed, seamless, and exciting, and also aligns for the best light experience is the most important part. I know how long things take and it's much longer than you think! This expertise of mine, built from countless elopements, is the secret sauce to make it not feel like an all-day photoshoot and more like an experience you want to relive over and over.
When you work with a photographer who prioritizes your experience and feelings as much as photos, you won't feel like you're putting on a show.
"From the very beginning of our planning process, we felt overwhelmed, but Alexandria immediately eased all of our worries and made everything feel seamless and easy. Her ongoing communication, thoughtful planning (even backup planning!) along with her genuine happiness and eagerness made us feel completely supported every step of the way. On the day of our elopement, she was calm, relational, happy, and so easygoing, which allowed everything to feel natural and put us completely at ease. She was also amazing not only with us, but with our family and friends too who we had part of our intimate day. They all loved and raved about her just as much as us! We absolutely LOVE the images we received! Like we literally cannot pick a favorite because there are so many! They are stunning, gorgeous, and we have received so many compliments. They captured our day perfectly and are honestly better than we could have ever imagined. If you’re considering working with Alexandria, just hire her already, you will not regret it."

"Words can't explain what an incredible experience we had with Alexandria.
She went above and beyond what I expected from our wedding elopement photographer. Reviews were great, so I knew she was top-notch. But she is so kind and super easy to get along with, we felt so lucky we found her! Communication was just right, enough to know exactly what to expect and the plans. Fast forward to our wedding day, it was literally perfect, there was nothing I wish I could change. It was lovely to hike with my best friend in the rainforest and to have those special moments captured by her. We received our photos and were blown away! Just incredible, the rainforest was popping and Alexandria captured it all. We're thankful for our gorgeous photos and that she is such a wonderful photographer. Thank you Alexandria for everything!! 💛"

“Alexandria is quite literally the best wedding photographer on the face of the planet - and I never exaggerate! ;) Not only did she capture our day so perfectly, but she catered to our exact vision and went above and beyond. Since my wedding, I've been telling all soon-to-be brides that the photographer is the most important vendor of the day because of how much time you spend with them, especially during intimate moments. Alexandria was so phenomenal to be around on our day and did such a great job of making sure we felt comfortable, had fun, and enjoyed the day. Not only is she amazingly talented, but just an all around lovely human. Thanks Alexandria for making our day the best ever!!!”
