a cozy weekend away with your favorite people
or breaking every rule to do something totally your own
— we’re here for it.

Eloping is about intention.
It’s about choosing a wedding experience that’s intimate, meaningful, and centered on what matters most:

Your Experience.

Meet the Photographers

Wilderpines is a trans-owned, LGBTQ+ adventure elopement team based in Seattle, Washington. We help introverted, nature-loving couples elope with intention across some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the state—Mount Rainier, North Cascades, Olympic National Park, and more.

What we do goes far beyond photography. We’re here to guide, ground, and support you as you create a wedding day that feels true to who you are — then capture it so you can relive it for years to come.

Don’t take it from us…

“They were incredible throughout the planning phase. They were on top of all the nuances of an adventure elopement and kept us up-to-date, including national park rules and requirements, road and weather conditions, leave no trace principles, contingency plans, and more.

As adventure elopement planners, Wilderpines is top notch and exceeded our expectations.”

— Monica & Nic @ Mt. Rainier

“Ashton went above and beyond. Not only did he capture every special moment, but he also provided much-needed hot coffee at 6 a.m., bandaids for when a choice to jump off a rock was made, committing to get into Lake Crescent when we decided to jump in, and to so many many memorable moments he made with us during our day.

We seriously walked away feeling like we have a new friend in our life, which was the icing on top of the cake for our perfect day. Thank you so much!”

— Casey & Jarrett @ Olympic

From past adventurers

“Words cannot describe how great Ashton and Tess were throughout this whole process. They had an answer for every question we had and more. Their knowledge of the state of Washington and photography in general made planning so easy. The day of our wedding they were so prepared that we could just relax and enjoy the day.

The final results, OMG!!!! The pictures are truly stunning. We have friends staying they look like they could be out of Vogue! I 100% recommend Ashton and his whole crew for anything and everything when it comes to your elopement needs!”

— Courtney & Haylee @ Olympic
