I’M VAN, AND I THINK WE’RE ABOUT TO BE BFFS.

(It’s pronounced like minivan or the shoes)

I’m a Washington adventure elopement photographer based in Seattle. I’m here to help you reclaim what it means to get married to your person and give you an elopement experience that’s 1,000,000% you. Whether you’re looking for reassurance that eloping is right for you, or you’re set on eloping but need help with the details, I’m your adventure buddy 👋🏻

My goals with every single couple are to 1. Make sure you are in love with every part of your wedding day, 2. Create an adventure with you that you’ll be thinking about for years and years, and 3. Leave you with photos that feel like YOU and show off how stinkin’ fun and intentional your elopement day was.

When I’m not in photographer mode, you’ll find me on a hike with my dog Fern, planning a backpacking trip with friends, or trying to squeeze in one more paddleboarding sesh even if it’s already getting dark out.

THINGS I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT:

1. The outdoors are for everyone. You don’t have to be an expert and you definitely don’t have to meet some bullshit standard of ‘outdoorsperson’ or ‘hiker’ to roll with me. If you want to get married outdoors, then you deserve to get married outdoors. Let’s fucking go.

2. You should feel empowered to be 1,000% YOU on your wedding day. Throw societal norms and traditions out the window because this whole thing is about you and your boo. I’m here to support your love, your ideas, and who you are as people. Bring your authentic selves to your elopement day – nothing more, nothing less.

3. Taking care of the planet when and where I can. This means following Leave No Trace ethics and educating clients about what that looks and feels like! Mother Natch’ is a real treasure, so let’s take care of her together. Deal?
