Washington Elopement Photographer

Imagine your
BEST DAY EVER...

your day, your way.

Whether your daydreams take you to your favorite mountain peak, the singletrack, or high up in a helicopter, there's no reason why your elopement can't unfold in the same unforgettable way.

I guide you through the process of planning your one-of-a-kind elopement so you can show up with confidence and have the time of your lives. Then, I’ll document it all so you can relive your epic adventure for decades to come. 

ANYTHING BUT "TRADITIONAL"

Documenting your unapologetically adventurous elopement experience in the great outdoors

I'm so stoked you're here! I'm a former outdoor guide turned Washington adventure elopement photographer, and my goal is to make sure that couples who love our wild areas can enjoy elopement experiences that feel authentic and unique.

As an outdoors-obsessed photographer, I’m stoked to work with couples who are as in love with this planet and its amazing recreation opportunities as I am! Sound like you?

I'm Janelle, your Washington elopement photographer.

Hey, adventure buddies!

We'd vibe together if...

  • You'd rather ditch tradition and embrace adventure on your wedding day
  • Adventures in nature are at the foundation of your relationship
  • You believe that all hikes should be followed by a good meal and an even better beverage (I'll never say no to a burger and beer!)

Your adventure elopement...
zero compromise.

why adventure elopements?

So... where would you go if there were no limits?

Your wedding can be so much more than traditional. You can ditch the rule book to plan an adventure that feels more like your wildest dreams than traditional ever could. 

I believe that exchanging vows in the great outdoors, immersed in nature and connection, is one of the most incredible ways to spend your elopement day. 

Let's go together. I'll bring my cameras (and snacks)! Documenting adventure elopements allows me to celebrate epic love in epic places.

I truly believe that saying your vows in the beauty of the great outdoors, surrounded by a place you love and connect with, is one of the coolest things you can do on your elopement day. Where would you go if you put no limits on this day?

"Janelle was such a blast to work with. My partner and I had never gotten photos done professionally, and we both were nervous about it being awkward with posing etc. Janelle made this so incredibly easy. Instead of posing, it was so natural and fun. She encouraged us to be authentically us and act as if she wasn’t there. She helped us figure out different poses, and was super good at instructing when we needed, and that was so reassuring. She helped us with location, and we did multiple different spots! The photos turned out amazing, and we had so much fun working with her. Would absolutely do it again."
