2026
travel SCHEDULE & AVAILABILITY
Please note: during the months of Apr-NOV, we book on weekdays only (Mon-Thur) to avoid crowds in public lands!
FYI
We take on a limited number of elopements with guests, prioritizing “just us” elopements.
In the summer months, we are busy photographing and traveling — we accept bookings but we will not start planning the details of 2026 elopements until Nov/Dec 2025.
This is our first round of dates with Ashton. We will be opening up another round of dates with our associate photographers ~Sep 2025.
Dates are first come, first serve. We close our books once we reach our max limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if we don’t know when or where we want to elope?
No problem at all, that’s what we’re here for! Get in touch and we’ll help you find the right spot and the best timing. At this point you don’t need to have a date or any of the details figured out yet. In fact, you’ll have a much better chance of booking with us if you aren’t set on the specifics.
Can we elope on a weekend?
We really don’t recommend it. During peak season (June-Oct) weekends can get crazy crowded on the trails and it’s hard to find a secluded spot that’s intimate enough for your nuptials. For this reason we only accept bookings Mon-Thurs during peak season. In the off-season, we will make exceptions, especially since certain winter locations are only accessible on weekends, and places aren’t as crowded.
How far out should we book?
If you’re planning a just-you elopement, aim for 4-9 months out. If you’re inviting guests, we recommend planning around 6-12 months out, or more depending on the logistics involved and how far everyone needs to travel.
During our peak season (June-Oct), we book a minimum of 2 months out so we can make sure we have enough time to plan out all the details!
We start opening up our calendars and booking for the following year in late summer/fall.
What if it rains?
Great question! We shoot rain or shine here in rainy, rainy Washington… otherwise we’d be out of work! During our meetings we will talk about and prepare for all kinds of weather scenarios and conditions, based on your own comfort level and safety.
We’ll have backup plans in case of inclement weather or closure, whether a different location, adjusting the timeline, or different activities. We’re experts at planning, and on Washington specifically, so we’re really good at re-planning on a dime. We’ve got an enormous list of locations and ideas that we can pull from in a pinch! Plus, we’ll bring umbrellas, ponchos, handwarmers, and of course some hot bevs to keep you warm and dry.
Awesome! How do we get started?
Get in touch below—we’ll set up a time to chat about how we can make your vision come to life!
