OREGON & WASHINGTON ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Let’s get lost in the raw beauty of nature and your connection
ELOPEMENTS | INTIMATE WEDDINGS | COUPLES SESSIONS
Couples having a traditional wedding are overwhelmed with the details, the planning.
BUT YOU GUYS?
You're overwhelmed by the possibilities of getting to do things your own way.
Hear me out, I think the plan should be to:
Do literally whatever feels the truest to you and your relationship. Without ever losing sight of that I’ll help you navigate the how, what, and where of it all. Then spend your wedding day immersed in the Pacific Northwest – loving freely – without a second thought.
TESTIMONIAL
“Not only is Heather extremely talented at capturing intimate moments and dramatic landscapes, but she is compassionate and truly cares about the people she photographs. Having Heather photograph our engagement and intimate wedding was the best decision we made during the planning process.”
ELIZABETH + ETHAN
And I grew up with hundreds of trails just minutes from my front door.
HI, I’M HEATHER…
The Pacific Northwest is the only home I’ve ever known. I intimately understand what this place looks like through every season. The weather, although changing minute by minute, never catches me by surprise. My gear has gear, my back up plan has a backup plan, and my car is full of jackets to spare. For every vision, I know the place that will bring it to life. One that’s tied to a childhood camping trip or romantic excursion. I know the Pacific Northwest like the back of my hand.
And yet... I drive aimlessly down forest service roads on my off-days, because I know there are more wonders to be discovered. And shared with couples like you.
Adventure, in theory, feels romantic.
IN PRACTICE? IT MEANS HIKING IN YOUR WEDDING CLOTHES.
What if we married the romance of adventure with your champagne taste? What if we created a day that's both outdoorsy and indulgent? Fun and elegant? Simple and fabulous?
Good news, we can.

Heather was amazing to work with. She is incredibly helpful in providing resources for the planning and logistics. Her photos are gorgeous and she made us feel comfortable during the process. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that is looking for a non-traditional wedding in the PNW.

My wife and I found Heather before we were even engaged and knew we wanted her to be out photographer for our elopement. She was very helpful in the whole process of planning our elopement. The best part though was the fact that she made us feel so comfortable. The weather changed our original plans but Heather was quick to make two new alternative plans for the day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my elopement!
